Whip Katherine Clark is a force for change and a champion for Massachusetts’s 5th Congressional District. Since her first election, she has fought for women, children, and families – making sure the issues discussed around kitchen tables are heard in Washington. In 2022, her colleagues elected her Democratic Whip, making her the highest-ranking woman in Congress and only the second woman in history to hold the role.
Guided by her belief that politics should serve people, Katherine has built a career at every level of government—as a local school committee member, state legislator, and senior official in Massachusetts agencies—before coming to Congress.
Now in leadership, she is driving the fight to end wage discrimination, safeguard abortion rights, curb gun violence, expand affordable child care, and secure paid leave. She is equally committed to electing more Democrats to the House to advance these values and deliver for American families.
