WASHINGTON, DC — Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37) issued a statement today following her election as the Whip of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) for the 119th Congress:
“I am deeply honored to be chosen to serve as Whip of the Congressional Black Caucus for the 119th Congress. Known as the ‘conscience of the Congress,’ the CBC is grounded in our pursuit of justice, equity, and opportunity for Black Americans. With unprecedented challenges ahead, our role as that conscience and our shared work will become more crucial than ever.
“Serving in this role is about more than counting votes; it is about building and sustaining cohesion within the CBC, uplifting every unique voice and perspective within our ranks, and ensuring that our members—both new and returning—have the resources they need to succeed. From championing voting rights and environmental justice to safeguarding healthcare and education, I am committed to working alongside our executive board to find new, innovative ways to drive change on the issues that matter most.
“As Whip, I will work tirelessly to ensure that our caucus remains strong, disciplined, and focused on delivering for those we represent. Together, let us not only carry forward our legacy but expand it—pushing forth our agenda and fortifying our role as a relentless force for fairness, progress, and the protection of Black communities.”
