In 2024, Hilltop Brigade will canvass in in Connecticut’s 5th District
to get out the vote for incumbent Jahana Hayes and
defend her seat in the US House of Representatives.
The Hilltop Brigade began in 2006 as an email list of friends and friends-of-friends interested in national and international affairs and deeply concerned about the direction our country was heading in under President Bush and the Republicans. Our mission, supported by Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, was to help turn Connecticut's Congressional delegation BLUE. Our strategy that first year, was to leverage volunteers from Connecticut's two "safe" Democratic congressional districts to help defeat the Republican incumbents in Connecticut's three adjacent congressional districts.
With the help of our volunteer canvassers, Joe Courtney won his Second District seat by 83 votes (out of over 200,000 votes cast) and Chris Murphy defeated long-time Republican Congresswoman Nancy Johnson in the Fifth Congressional District.
In 2018, the Hilltop Brigade canvassed out of Meriden for Jahana Hayes, the 2016 Teacher of the Year, making her first run for Congress. She won!
This year, Jahana Hayes needs the help of the Hilltop Brigade again and we plan to answer the call.
