Congresswoman Sarah McBride (DE-AL) announced that she was named a House Democratic Deputy Whip for Policy, a role focused on strategic, long-term planning and coordination on policy priorities across the House Democratic Caucus. This position is appointed by Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, the number two Democrat in the House of Representatives.

“My number one priority in Congress is helping to lower costs facing Delawareans and American families,” said Congresswoman McBride. “We can do this by guaranteeing paid family and medical leave, lowering the cost of childcare and restoring the child tax credit. I look forward to working alongside my Democratic colleagues to prioritize common sense solutions to making it more affordable to raise a family. I’m grateful to Democratic Whip Katherine Clark for this opportunity and for her steadfast leadership and mentorship.”

“Since arriving to Congress, Rep. McBride has quickly proven to be an effective advocate for Delawareans and all working families,” said Democratic Whip Katherine Clark.“I’m thrilled she will serve as a Deputy Whip for Policy in the 119th Congress to help lead our fight to lower everyday costs, create good paying jobs, and grow the economy by growing the middle class.”
