Kick out Hakeem Jeffries
Hakeem Jeffries runs the Democrats in the House. After the midterm wave, House Democrats vote on whether he keeps the job. If your representative is a Democrat, that vote is theirs to cast, and a call from you lands before they decide.
Decision: Nov 18, 2026

We have not finished checking who has said they want the job and where they stand, so we are not naming anyone yet. The ask below works without a name.
What to ask for, in one line
Your representative votes for a new leader unless Jeffries promises, in public, to stop Israel's integration into the US military.
01
Where things stand
As of 2026-11-06. Hakeem Jeffries leads House Democrats, and they vote soon on whether he keeps the job. The date in our data is a placeholder, 2026-11-18 VERIFY: caucus date. Each member settles their vote in private calls with leadership first, so a call from home lands while they are still deciding. Since the midterms, calls to replace Jeffries have spread fast and new members have declined to commit to him (sources below).

What to say in 30 seconds
"Hi, I'm a constituent from [your town]. House Democrats are about to vote on their leader. I'm asking Representative [name] to vote for a new leader unless Hakeem Jeffries promises, in public, to take the Israel integration section out of the military bill. Can you tell me where the Representative stands, or pass this to the staff who handle it?"

Likely pushback and answers
- "The member doesn't discuss leadership votes." You are not asking how they vote in the room. You are asking what they will require of a leader, and they can say that out loud.
- "The leader has been good for the party." The ask is one promise, not a review of his record. Ask whether the Representative will require it.
- "The member supports Israel's security." This is about one section that ties US troops and weapons to Israel's military, not about aid. Ask for a position on that section.
- "Call Jeffries' office instead." His office only counts calls from his own district. Your representative is the one who carries your district into those private calls.
05
What counts as a win
Your representative says, on the record, that they will require the promise before voting for any leader. Smaller: they say they are undecided and will tell you when they decide. Report what you hear; we record positions from reports, with a source.
