In the 5th Congressional District, the highly contested race between Democrat Jahana Hayes and Republican George Logan is still too close to call Wednesday.
It's a race that could have a national impact. The incumbent, Hayes, and Logan were neck and neck in the polls and NBC News has not yet declared a winner.
Hayes is running for a third term as she approaches the end of her fourth year as a congresswoman.
Logan is an engineer by training, a former two-term state senator and a small business owner. He's hoping to bring change to the 5th Congressional District.

“We’re closely monitoring the vote count, but given the results reported by the Secretary of State we’re confident that after all the votes are counted we believe George Logan will be the next Congressman from Connecticut’s 5th Congressional District,” Logan's campaign said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
A Quinnipiac University poll shows that 48% of voters would like the Republican Party to win control of the house and 44% favor the Democratic Party. That's a change from an August poll, when only 43% favored Republican house control, and 47% favored Democratic control.
A Republican has not represented the state's 5th district since Nancy Johnson, who lost the seat in 2006.
