Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Connecticut's 5th Congressional District.
Connecticut deserves common-sense leadership—and I’m ready to deliver it.
I’ve always answered the call to serve. That duty doesn’t stop now. I’m ready to represent the great people of Connecticut in Congress. 🇺🇸
#ServiceNeverStops #CT05
Jahana Hayes for…Senate?
If you turn on the TV, you’ll hear Jahana asking for your vote for Congress, but won’t she isn’t telling you is that she’s running around DC saying a very different thing.
As we speak, she’s raising thousands of dollars and courting the most corrupt stakeholders in DC so she can run ditch her seat in Congress to run for the Senate in 2028.
It’s a trusted honor to represent the Northwest Corner and to fight for our district.
But the sad truth is that Jahana sees our seat in Congress as a springboard for more power.
Let’s send a message to corrupt DC politicians like Jahana Hayes on November 3rd: We’re done with politics as usual.
You worked for it. You earned it.
In Congress, I’ll always protect Social Security and work across party lines to protect it for Americans of every generation.

Jahana Hayes is terrified.
She knows what everyone on the ground does: workers, students, and families across our district of every party are joining our movement.
That's why she just begged her dark money allies in DC for $250,000 to bail out her flailing campaign.
Jahana Hayes can become a political sellout if she wants, but I'll be damned if I let her sell out the hard working people in our district.
If you're sick of corruption in DC and wish you had a fighter your in corner please consider chipping in anything you can to help us fight back against Jahana's dark money machine.
Your support helps us mobilize voters on Election Day and counter the dishonest and disgusting smears that Jahana's consultants are flinging our way.
Please join us in the homestretch so we can flip this seat and put the working families in our district first for a change.

Chris Shea retweeted
Christina Hines has made it clear she does not respect veterans or service members. She said I’ve never worked hard and now she’s called me a coward.
I fought for this country. My friends and fellow veterans put their lives on the line for this country. Shame on her. Veterans aren't cowards.
I show up when my neighbors need me because service never stops.
It’s time that we had a fighter in Washington looking out for us, not the special interests who control our politicians.
Make a plan to vote!
Election Day is November 3rd
Early Vote Now - November 1st
Jahana Hayes is on your ballot twice and here’s the really scary reason why:
She accepted the support and ballot line of the hard-left WFP that wants to defund the police, abolish prisons, and open our borders.
Our district is one that is full of moderate Democrats and Independents who feel abandoned by radicals like Jahana Hayes and the WFP. That’s why I promise to represent ALL of our district, not the extremists that Jahana has linked arms with.
Border security is national security.
Since the open border policies of Jahana Hayes and Joe Biden were put on pause, death from fentanyl overdoses have plummeted.
We can’t go back to the chaos of deadly drugs and millions of people pouring in unvetted. In Congress, I’ll vote to keep our borders strong and to ensure we have a legal immigration system that makes sense for the 21st century.
This race is on a knife’s edge.
This is THE race to watch in Connecticut - don’t let anything dampen your enthusiasm.
Help us get out the word and mobilize voters so we can flip this seat and send a real fighter for Connecticut to Washington.
NEW Poll shows CT-05 is the CLOSEST race in Connecticut!

Which message will resonate with voters?
Jahana Hayes: 8 year incumbent, do-nothing, defund-the-police backed Democrat
Chris Shea: Firefighter and Ret. Navy SEAL running to lower costs for working families.
The sad truth is that corruption is rampant in both parties.
But I’m lucky to be the only candidate in this race that’s not completely owned by special interests. So when I’m in Congress, the only special interest I answer to, will be you.
That’s why I’ll start on day one fighting to get dark money and foreign interference out of our politics so our leaders will work for us for a change.
Last night, voters heard two very different visions from Jahana and I.
While I may not be a polished politician like Congresswoman Hayes, working families know where I stand and that I’m fighting for them.

More than 100 residents were evacuated, and at least two elderly women died when they were swept away by floodwaters two years ago. Where was our member of Congress?
Jahana Hayes was slurping down oysters and going to pricey salons and living it up on Martha’s Vineyard, spending nearly $13,000.
The people in our district who Jahana left behind were stuck with a bill for $206 million in damages to bridges, roads, businesses, and homes due to flooding, mudslides, and landslides.
If you honor me with your vote and send me to represent our district in Congress, I’ll never abandon my neighbors or the call to serve. And I’ll always fight tooth and nail for the disaster relief funding our district deserves.
I’m running for Congress because I believe that it is our responsibility to steward America’s public lands and conserve beautiful places like our district.
From the rolling hills to thunderous streams, we need a fighter in DC who will ensure that we can hand this land down to future generations.
When I’m elected, I’ll work across party lines to:
- Stop the sale of public lands to private developers
- Increase funding for our national parks
- Fight for an all-of-the-above approach to energy that includes clean nuclear, geothermal, wind, and solar where they make sense.
