Congressman Hakeem Jeffries

Americans deserve a better deal. Democrats will deliver real solutions, lasting economic growth and take significant action to improve the lives of the American people.

U.S. Representative Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), a member of House Democratic leadership and the Judiciary Committee, along with U.S. Representative Trey Gowdy (SC-4), a Republican member of the Judiciary Committee, introduced the “Renew Act,” a bipartisan measure to reduce corrections costs and help young ex-offenders become productive citizens.

"The President of the United States is a dangerous con artist," said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-Brooklyn), who gathered with other Democrats in the city's Congressional delegation at Foley Square Wednesday to denounce the firing.

Rep: Jeffries said: “Under Republican rule, the system is rigged. The fix is in. The deck is stacked against hard-working Americans. Under TrumpCare, 24 million Americans will lose access to health insurance. Under TrumpCare, costs will go up, premiums will go up, co-pays will go up, deductibles will go up. Under TrumpCare, tens of millions of Americans who are living with pre-existing conditions will be screwed.”

In the aftermath of misleading information put forth by Attorney General Jeff Sessions concerning his interaction with Russian operatives, and following a steady stream of troubling revelations related to possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during last year’s presidential election, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and House Democrats have introduced a resolution of inquiry that could compel the Administration to publicly disclose information to Congress and the American people.
