After years of rumors and gossip, Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries has taken his first steps to a Congressional run next year.
Jeffries filed papers on September 30th, 2011 to the Federal Election Commission to run for the 10th Congressional District seat under the name “Jeffries for Congress.”
His first fundraiser was on September 17, which was called the “Young Professionals Fundraiser for Hakeem Jeffries Exploratory Committee”.
During the event Jeffries raised a lot of money and he now has an official campaign, instead of just an exploratory committee. According to the September 30th Financial Disclosure records, he has raised a total of $173,873 and has only spent $14,928.
