Jibreel is the son of a union nurse and a taxi driver who came to New York in pursuit of the American dream. Born and raised right here in Brooklyn, he learned early that strong neighborhoods are built by families, faith, and hard work — especially when government falls short.

​

A community organizer, nonprofit leader, and Obama Scholar, Jibreel has committed his life to serving others and fighting for working families. He’s helped stop a toxic facility near homes and schools, secured $1.6 million to prevent gun violence, supported workers in winning a union, and built a small business — so he knows what it means to meet payroll and push through red tape.

​

Now, he’s running for State Assembly to deliver a government that puts people before politics and helps families stay, grow, and thrive here in Brooklyn.
