WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, April 17, 2023, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) released the following statement on Leader Hakeem Jeffries:

“I’ve known my good friend, Leader Hakeem Jeffries, for nearly a decade, and I can personally attest American Jews and Israel are lucky to have him as an unflinching supporter and champion. In Congress, Hakeem has been an unwavering voice against antisemitism and hate. He has been a staunch advocate of the U.S.-Israel relationship. And, beyond that, he is a man of deep integrity. Anyone who has a question about Hakeem’s character, commitment to American Jews, or to Israel is welcome to call me.”
