Hayes Votes to Allow Noncitizens the Right to Vote

An overwhelming bipartisan majority in the House just passed legislation overturning a progressive immigration policy that grants noncitizens the right to vote in local elections in the nation’s capital.

Over FIFTY Democrats joined Republicans to back this commonsense legislation, but vulnerable Democrat Jahana Hayes voted AGAINST it.

And remember, Hayes has a history of fighting for extreme, far-left immigration policies:

• Earlier this month, Hayes failed to even acknowledge that the border crisis exists.
• She refused to hold Secretary Mayorkas accountable for his border security failures.
• And she has repeatedly voted in favor of Biden’s toxic open-borders policies, despite an illegal immigrant crime wave sweeping the country.

“Preventing noncitizens from voting in American elections is as basic and commonsense as it gets, which is why it passed with a clear bipartisan majority in the House, yet Jahana Hayes was too extreme to support it,” said CLF Regional Press Secretary Maureen O’Toole. “Today’s vote makes it clear: Jahana Hayes’ top priority is pushing radical illegal immigration policy, not fighting for Connecticut citizens or protecting the security of our elections.”
