NARAL Pro-Choice America Congratulates House Democratic Caucus for Election of Historic New Leadership
Washington, DC — Today, the Democratic Caucus of the U.S. House of Representatives elected a new generation of leaders. Following the leadership elections, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) will serve as Democratic Leader, Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA) as Democratic Whip, and Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) as Caucus Chair in the next Congress.
NARAL Pro-Choice America President Mini Timmaraju released the following statement in response:
“The American people need the bold leadership of Reps. Jeffries, Clark, and Aguilar at this pivotal juncture in our fight for reproductive freedom, and we know that this trio will captain the Caucus with an unwavering commitment to the right to abortion. With the first Black congressperson elected to lead either chamber, this is also a historic step forward. With gratitude to Speaker Pelosi, Leader Hoyer, and Whip Clyburn, we congratulate this new generation of leadership and look forward to working with them to ensure reproductive freedom for everybody.”
