Congresswoman Jahana Hayes is a community advocate, nationally-recognized educator, and problem solver. Having overcome poverty, homelessness, and teenage motherhood, she understands why so many people feel left out of the conversation. But teaching showed her the potential within everyone—that’s why she believes that if Congress reflects the community, anything is possible.

Through service, Jahana unleashed the power within herself and within her students. That is why she believes everyone has something to offer and why she believes Congress should reflect all of us.
