Congratulations to Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, the new Democratic party leader in the House of Representatives!
The 52 year old 5 time representative from New York was elected in a unanimous vote to succeed House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. He is the first Black person to lead one of the two major parties in either chamber of Congress and he is now the highest-ranking Black lawmaker on Capitol Hill.
Jeffries (who is also a member of Kappa Alpha Psi) said he hopes to lead in a way that focuses on values that unite instead of issues that divide. He added that his goals are to “combat inflation, defend our democracy, secure reproductive freedom, welcome new Americans, promote equal protection under the law, and improve public safety throughout this country.”
Let's hope for more good things from this good brother!
& Remember to always celebrate your magic! xo
