Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.

✓ verified Pending Review [constituency_baseline] District summary: Connecticut's 5th Congressional District spans northwest and central Connecticut, including Danbury, Litchfield County, the Farmington Valley, the Naugatuck Valley, Meriden, and Waterbury. It is a D+4 district (Cook PVI) with a population of approximately 728,000. The district is 64.8% White and 21.2% Hispanic, with a median age of 42 and a median household income of $91,081 — well above the national average. The poverty rate is 8%, homeownership is 67.6%, and 39.2% hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The district is car-dependent (71% drive alone) with a median commute of 27.4 minutes. Immigration policy ranks as a key issue. Hayes, a former National Teacher of the Year, has held the seat since 2019 and serves as Ranking Member of the Nutrition and Foreign Agriculture Subcommittee.
Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.Con.Res.40 (War Powers Resolution to remove U.S. Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in Iran) on 2026-04-16: Hayes voted to constrain Trump's military operations in Iran, stating 'President Trump has failed to clearly articulate a reason for going to war.' She cited 13 U.S. service member deaths and Pentagon spending of $2 billion per day. The resolution failed 213-214. Her district's progressive leanings (D+4) favored congressional checks on presidential war powers.
Date: 2026-04-16 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.Con.Res.40
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R.1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Trump reconciliation package — $900 billion in Medicaid cuts, $200 billion in SNAP cuts, extending 2017 tax cuts)) on 2025-07-03: Hayes called this 'the most destructive legislation I had witnessed in my tenure.' She detailed that 210,395 of her constituents rely on Medicaid/HuskyHealth and at least 34,000 could lose food assistance. Every Democrat opposed the bill, which passed 218-214. The AFL-CIO scored this as a key vote for working families.
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R.3746 (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (debt ceiling deal with SNAP work requirements and discretionary spending caps)) on 2023-05-31: Hayes broke with Democratic leadership and 165 Democratic colleagues to vote against the debt ceiling agreement, citing new SNAP work requirements. She stated: 'I cannot in good conscience support a legislative package that rips food out of the mouths of our most vulnerable.' As Ranking Member of the Nutrition Subcommittee, food security is her signature issue.
Date: 2023-05-31 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 3746
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on S.5 (Laken Riley Act (mandatory ICE detention for undocumented immigrants charged with certain crimes)) on 2025-01-22: Hayes joined 45 other Democrats and all Republicans to pass this immigration enforcement bill. She later publicly regretted the vote, telling CNN she 'trusted that (the Trump) administration wanted to work with Democrats.' Her district is 21.2% Hispanic, making immigration enforcement a high-salience constituent concern. Hayes called her vote a mistake months later.
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.Res.845 (Censuring Representative Rashida Tlaib for comments on the Israel-Hamas war) on 2023-11-07: Hayes voted with 184 of 206 voting Democrats against censuring Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress. Only 22 Democrats joined Republicans. Her vote aligned with progressive and civil-liberties-oriented constituents in her D+4 district.
Date: 2023-11-07 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.Res. 845
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R.8034 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($26.4 billion comprehensive military and humanitarian aid to Israel)) on 2024-04-20: Hayes voted for the comprehensive Israel aid package just five months after opposing the standalone bill. Her top contributors include JStreetPAC ($49,570) and Pro-Israel interests ($30,725). The 366-58 vote reflected a shift from her earlier stance, generating criticism from anti-war constituents who had praised her November 2023 nay vote.
Date: 2024-04-20 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 8034
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R.6126 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($14.3 billion standalone military aid to Israel with offsetting IRS cuts)) on 2023-11-02: Hayes was one of 194 Democrats who opposed the standalone Israel aid bill that conditioned emergency aid for the first time. She cited the absence of humanitarian aid for Gaza. Only 12 Democrats joined Republicans in support. Her CT-05 district had vocal progressive constituencies demanding a ceasefire.
Date: 2023-11-02 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 6126

✓ verified Primary Source [vote] Hayes voted against H.R. 6126, a standalone $14.3 billion Israel military aid package, stating she could not 'in good conscience support a supplemental package that does not acknowledge the innocent civilians in Gaza.'

✓ verified Primary Source [statement] During an April 2025 CNN town hall, Hayes said of her Laken Riley Act vote: 'As I've thought about it over the last couple of months, I probably would have voted differently. It's a vote that I regret.' She said the Trump administration was 'terrorizing' legal immigrants and she 'trusted that (the Trump) administration wanted to work with Democrats.'
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] Hayes voted for the Laken Riley Act (S.5) on January 22, 2025, joining 45 other House Democrats and all Republicans. She said she was swayed by a provision protecting police officers.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Pro-Israel interests contributed $30,725 to Hayes in the 2023–2024 cycle ($27,225 individual + $3,500 PAC). JStreetPAC was her second-largest contributor at $49,570.
