Sometimes referred to as "Brooklyn's Barack", he is a staunch supporter of President Obama and a progressive voice for the people of New York City. NY1 did a profile piece about his work on the vitally important Budget and Judiciary committees in Washington. You can watch the video here or read the text below. Hakeem is committed to electing a Democratic majority in 2014 and is encouraging his friends to participate in the DCCC/DSCC fundraising dinner with President Obama this coming Monday night. Shoot us an email or give us a call at (212) 531-2858 if you would like to get involved with the dinner, or would like to get an opportunity to get to know Hakeem better. He is an impressive guy and who will be a progressive voice in New York politics for years to come. Thanks, Darren Rigger, Lisa Rossi & Walter Swett Dynamic SRG NY1: Hakeem Jeffries Positions Himself For Long Career In Washington Apr 29, 2013 By: Michael Scotto Hakeem Jeffries is only about four months into his freshman year in Congress but he's already positioning himself for a long career in Washington. NY1's Michael Scotto filed the following report. If you're looking to knock Hakeem Jeffries off message, you won't get very far. "There's a hip hop song, every day I'm hustling, and I kind of feel that way down here in Washington," Jeffries said. "In a positive manner, of course." The freshman congressman from Brooklyn and a sliver of Queens is an ambitious work horse who always appears to have his eye on the prize. EFTA00390904
