HUGE: Jahana Hayes, former teacher of the year, looks like she'll be Dem nominee in CT. That means she'll be first black Dem ever elected in the state. Read my interview about her progressive ideals and how fellow Dems underestimated her. nytimes.com/2018/08/14/us/…
This is what Jahana Hayes told me about what it means to be first black Dem to serve in Congress in Connecticut. nyti.ms/2OzJFQl 
Hayes told she other Dems in the state encouraged her not to run: They’d say, “I can’t imagine you as a viable candidate.” People said to me, “You know, the people in the cities don’t vote,” or, “Connecticut is very ~traditionally~ Democrat."
