Congressman-Elect Rob Menendez to Serve as Regional Whip for House Democratic Caucus

WASHINGTON D.C. – Congressman-Elect Rob Menendez (NJ-08) was today announced as Regional Whip for the House Democratic Caucus. Menendez was appointed to the position by regional leadership and will work with incoming Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (MA-05) to serve the Caucus and the region.

“Our party delivers for the American people when we are focused and united,” said Congressman-Elect Rob Menendez. “The next two years will be a challenging time as the GOP will utilize their thin majority to target President Biden and block progress for working families. I look forward to working with our Caucus and as a part of incoming Whip Clark’s team to move our country forward.”

“Rep. Elect Menendez is a passionate advocate for working families and is committed to building a stronger, more just economy,” said Incoming Democratic Whip Katherine Clark. “I’m thrilled he will serve as a Regional Whip, helping House Democrats stop the Republican extreme agenda and build a tomorrow where everyone has the same access to opportunity and success.”

As Regional Whip, Congressman-Elect Menendez will assist the Democratic Whip in tracking votes of fellow Democrats and in pushing forward the people-focused Democratic agenda and legislative priorities.

In addition to his appointment as Regional Whip, Congressman-Elect Menendez was also recently elected by his fellow Members-Elect to serve on the House Democratic Steering & Policy Committee as freshman representative for 2023.

Congressman-Elect Menendez will represent New Jersey’s Eighth Congressional District, which includes portions of Hudson, Essex, and Union Counties.
