Candidate: US House of Representatives / District 05

Gregory Meeks (D)

(Incumbent)

Candidate Site

Serving the people of New York’s Fifth Congressional District has been U.S. Representative Meeks’ greatest professional honor.

He has been re-elected with an overwhelming majority for over 25 years and remains focused on making government work for his constituents and the American people.

He is a solutions-oriented lawmaker who is respected for his bipartisan efforts as a leader who gets things done. He is a strong defender of the Democratic party, its values and remains committed to protecting all our rights.

He will continue to bring investments, opportunities, and funding to his district and the city and state of New York.
