Receipts, cash on hand, and outside (independent-expenditure) spending from the Federal Election Commission. Bars are scaled within this race. Most competitive CT seat (D+3) but not currently rated in danger. Incumbent Jahana Hayes running for re-election (minor D challengers Winter Solomita, Jackson Taddeo-Waite). Republican primary contenders: Michele Botelho, Jonathan De Barros, Chris Shea (former Navy SEAL); 2022/2024 GOP nominee George Logan is NOT running. The field and its fundraising will keep updating as primaries settle and new FEC reports land.
The rating is grounded in this seat’s record on Akashic — its partisan lean, same-office history, and demographics. Read the full profile on the CT-05 place page.
