WASHINGTON, DC – This week, Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins (KS-02) was re-elected to Vice Chair of the House Republican Conference  by her colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives. After re-election to House Leadership, Congresswoman Jenkins issued the following statement:

“I am honored to continue to serve as Vice Chair of the House Republican Conference. The next two years are pivotal if we hope to turn this country around. With our experienced House leadership team finally able to work in partnership with a new Senate majority, I am confident Congress will be able to pass critical legislation and place those policies on the President’s desk. Our solutions will seek to empower all Americans and help everyone get ahead and achieve a better life. Instead of operating alone, via executive fiat and vetoes, we are hopeful President Obama will partner with us in our efforts to move our nation forward.

“From the very first time I ran for office I have believed you learn more by listening than talking. My first priority remains listening to Kansans each and every day to ensure their voices are heard at the leadership table in Congress.”

Vice Chair Jenkins joins Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Majority Whip Steve Scalise, Conference Chair Cathy McMorris-Rodgers, NRCC Chair Greg Walden, Republican Policy Committee Chair Luke Messer, and Conference Secretary Virginia Foxx as members of the House Republican leadership team. Vice Chair is the fifth-highest ranking position in House Republican Leadership.
