Hakeem Sekou Jeffries ( hah-KEEM; born August 4, 1970) is an American politician and attorney who has served as House minority leader and leader of the House Democratic Caucus since 2023. Currently in his seventh term, Jeffries has been the U.S. representative for New York's 8th congressional district since 2013 and served three terms as a member of the New York State Assembly from 2007 to 2012.
Jeffries was born in the New York City borough of Brooklyn and raised in the Crown Heights neighborhood. He attended law school at New York University, graduating with honors and becoming a corporate lawyer before running for elected office. Both his state assembly district and congressional district are anchored in Brooklyn.
In Congress, Jeffries chaired the House Democratic Caucus from 2019 to 2023. The members of the caucus unanimously elected him to succeed Nancy Pelosi as leader in November 2022. This made him the first African American to lead a party in either chamber of the United States Congress.

Sen (Pastore) subcom opens hearings on Sen Fulbright bill to legislate Cong's right of access to TV; Fulbright says balance in Govt would be effectively destroyed unless Cong could command automatic access to network TV that Pres now has by informal courtesy of broadcasting indus; proposal challenged by networks as invasion of journalistic freedom; Pastore opposes bill but hopes to achieve same goal of wider airing of Cong views through negotiations with network officials; Fulbright says 'communication is power and exclusive access to it is dangerous, unchecked power'; Pastore pledges broad study; Fulbright stresses that focus of his bill is 'institutional, not partisan,' and that he is more concerned about balance among Govt branches than balance of Dem and Repub parties; proposal would also give voice to policy dissenters within Pres' own party; would have effect of designating Cong leaders over Natl Com as primary spokesmen of opposition; Pastore and other subcom members doubt whether Cong has any peculiar right to answer Pres' TV appearances; Fulbright suggests that HR and Sen divide Cong's TV time evenly and that, within respective branches, spokesmen for different issues would emerge naturally and without squabbling; disputed by Pastore and Sen Goodell; Fulbright says his proposal is conscious indictment of TV journalism; network officials charge proposal would make TV simple 'conduit' of Govt policy
