The members of the House Democratic Caucus unanimously elected Jeffries to his leadership role in November 2022. This made him the first African American to lead a party caucus in either chamber of the United States Congress.

Jeffries has represented New York's 8th congressional district for six terms, taking office in 2013 after being elected in 2012. The district is anchored in southern and eastern Brooklyn. Before his election to Congress, Jeffries served three terms in the New York State Assembly, representing the 57th district, and worked as a corporate lawyer.
