Statement from Katherine Clark on her successful election to Democratic Whip

  WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Katherine Clark released the following statement on her election to House Democratic Whip for the 118^th Congress:

  “I am humbled and honored to be the next Democratic Whip, and I am proud to be a member of the team that will lead House Democrats through this moment of transition and renewal.

  “House Democrats are united in our purpose: to bring people and solutions together. While the Republican agenda seeks to divide us — to secure power through chaos, to turn neighbor on neighbor — Democrats will meet the American people’s most pressing challenges with demands for progress. We will fight for affordable child care and health care for every family. We will defend women’s rights and reproductive justice for every person. We will demand clean air and clean water for every community. We will build coalitions and leave no one behind.”

  “Today is defined by hope and unity, and I stand ready to guide our Caucus as we continue America’s march toward opportunity and equality for all.”
