Waterbury, CT — Today, Congresswoman Jahana Hayes (CT-05) released the following statement regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to Connecticut.
“I am thrilled to welcome Vice President Harris to our state to meet some of the people who have helped our communities navigate this pandemic,” said Congresswoman Hayes. “Families and small businesses were hard hit - including the child care industry, where many providers were forced to close their doors.
