Resume of William J. Jefferson
U.S.
Representative William Jennings Jefferson is now serving his
ninth term as a Member of the United States House of
Representatives. Representing the 2nd District of Louisiana
since 1991, he is the first African-American to be elected to
Congress in Louisiana since Reconstruction. He has served as a
member of the House Committees on Ways and Means, Small
Business, Budget and Education and Labor. Also, in the past he
has served as Co-Chair of the Africa Trade and Investment
Caucus as well as the Congressional Caucuses on Brazil and
Nigeria. Jefferson is also a former Chairperson of the Board
of Directors for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, a
non-partisan, non-profit, public policy, research and
educational institute founded by members of the Congressional
Black Caucus in 1976.
A
lifelong resident of Louisiana, Congressman Jefferson is a
graduate of Southern University A&M College and of Harvard
University Law School. In February of 1996, Jefferson received
his Master of Laws in Taxation from Georgetown University,
making him only the second Member of Congress to do so while
serving in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Prior to his service in Congress, Congressman Jefferson was
elected to three terms in the Louisiana State Senate and
served on the State Bond Commission, the Senate Finance
Committee, and served as Chairman of the Senate and
Governmental Affairs Committee. As a State Senator, he was
twice named, “Legislator of the Year” by the prestigious
Alliance for Good Government.
Congressman Jefferson’s public service also included a stint
as an officer in the Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) Corps; as
law clerk to the late Honorable Alvin B Rubin of the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana; and as
legislative assistant to U.S. Senator J. Bennett Johnston.
Prior to running for elected office, Jefferson founded the law
firm, Jefferson, Bryan and Gray (now Bryan and Jupiter), which
became the largest predominately African-American firm in the
South. He is a member of several civic and religious boards
and serves as a Trustee of the Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel
Church.
Congressman Jefferson is well-known and respected by his
colleagues on both sides of the aisle as an expert on trade
and tax issues. His work throughout his Congressional career
has focused on expanding trade opportunities in under-utilized
trade markets – such as Africa and Brazil – which provides
enormous job creation and economic benefits for the New
Orleans and Louisiana trade industry. Jefferson has also
worked extensively on tax issues, providing innovative ideas
for tax reform that benefits working, middle-class families.
Congressman Jefferson and his
wife, Dr. Andrea Green-Jefferson, are the proud parents of
five daughters: Jamila, a graduate of Harvard College and Law
School, is a practicing attorney; Jalila, also a graduate of
Harvard College and Law School is a practicing attorney and a
member of the Louisiana House of Representatives; Jelani, the
third graduate of Harvard College and Law School, is teaching
at the University of Kansas; Nailah is a documentary filmmaker
and is a graduate of Boston University and Emerson College in
Boston; and Akilah graduated from Brown University and is
attending Tulane Medical School.
Over the years, Congressman Jefferson
has always been available and accessible to us. He
has been our leading advocate in Washington and has
shown tireless commitment to helping the residents
of our region rebuild.
Please help celebrate his birthday.
Let’s come together to show Congressman Jefferson
how much we respect and appreciate him. Without
question, thousands of lives have been touched
directly by him due to his hard work over the years.

Jefferson Committee to
Celebrate the birthday of U.
S. Congressman William Jefferson and to Support him
