Sounds like Hakeem Jeffries could be the next guy. I don't know anything about him.

Oh cool. An article in USA Today is both an acceptable mainstream media source for conservatives now and there's enough in that article for you to stand behind your label of the man?

What positions of his in that article did you consume to make the radical leftist judgment?

His campaign websites lists lowering childcare and health care costs, as well as the cost of education and prescription drugs as top priorities.

Jeffries is also a champion of criminal justice reform, having worked on legislation aimed at correcting sentencing disparities for crack versus powder cocaine and introducing the Eric Garner Excessive Use of Force Prevention in 2015, then later again in 2021 as part of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

Jeffries is also a proponent of gun control measures and of women's reproductive rights, condemning along with many other congressional Democrats the overturning of Roe v. Wade earlier this year.

Jeffries has referred to himself as a “pragmatic progressive." While his core viewpoints are in line with a lot of progressive thinking, he has said he doesn't believe in sacrificing everything for a legislative wish list when it might be out of reach.

He is a member of the House Progressive Caucus, a collective of legislators which works to push forward a more progressive agenda in the legislature, and has worked throughout his career in support of various progressive causes like criminal justice reform and affordable housing.

Criminal justice reform, affordable housing, lowering health care costs and the costs of education are apparently radical left wing socialist ideas now.
