Hakeem S. Jeffries
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide J000294.
Hakeem S. Jeffries is the Democrat representative for the House from NY, district 8 in the 119th Congress. The chart uses the October 2026 snapshot. The position is Voteview’s DW-NOMINATE score of the roll calls. Color is the party label. The place is the votes.
The first dimension is -0.483, drawn as economics -48. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is -0.055, drawn as authority -5. The other axis sits near the middle. Voteview’s second dimension is not a pure social axis. The chart uses the public file anyway, rather than inventing a different number.
Inside the House, this first-dimension score ranks 38 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is left of the Democrat median in this chamber (-0.39). The nearest other House scores are Henry C. "Hank" Johnson, Jr. (Democrat, -0.479), Shontel M. Brown (Democrat, -0.476), Morgan McGarvey (Democrat, -0.486). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
A short public-record note says: Democratic leader of the House, New York. The score is the placement. The sentence only names what the record is already known for.
