Congressman Hakeem Jeffries

Congressman Hakeem Jeffries would like to invite students to participate in the annual Congressional Art Competition. Each spring, a nation-wide high school arts competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The Artistic Discovery Contest is an opportunity to recognize and encourage the artistic talent in the nation. This competition is open to any high school student who resides in New York’s Eighth Congressional District.

On January 31, 2019, Rep. Jeffries delivered his annual State of the District Address, where he reported back to his bosses, the constituents of New York's 8th Congressional District, on his work on their behalf in 2018, including historic criminal justice reform and opioid relief. The Congressman also discussed his agenda for 2019, which includes investing in infrastructure, lowering healthcare costs and fighting for affordable housing.

In partnership with Urban Upbound, Rep. Jeffries is proud to present free tax preparation services for residents in the 8th Congressional District making less than $66,000 annually.
