Hakeem S. Jeffries

Overview

Hakeem Jeffries represents New York in the U.S. House of Representatives and has established himself as a prominent figure within the Democratic caucus. His voting record from the sample period shows strong party loyalty, consistently voting with Democratic positions on procedural matters and opposing Republican-led initiatives. His legislative focus spans multiple policy areas, with particular attention to healthcare issues where he has cast 67 recorded votes. His voting pattern in healthcare shows a selective approach, supporting approximately 46% of measures that came to the floor, suggesting he evaluates healthcare legislation based on specific policy content rather than voting uniformly in one direction. On budgetary and defense matters, Jeffries has shown somewhat higher rates of support (56% and 67% respectively), indicating potential areas where he finds common ground across various legislative proposals. His approach to banking and finance legislation appears more restrictive, with no affirmative votes recorded in that category during this period.
