Massachusetts Lawmaker Bids to Become No. 2 House Democrat

Massachusetts Representative Katherine Clark officially launched a bid for the No. 2 leadership position in the incoming Democratic minority Friday as part of a generational shift at the top of the party.

“Now, we must be tough, agile, and united to stop the Republican House Majority’s dangerous agenda and take back the House,” she wrote in a letter to colleagues. “Our success will require a unified front. We are a team, and we must leverage our strength to win.”
