Today, Congressman Jake LaTurner issued the following statement after accepting an invitation to serve as an Assistant Whip on the House Republican Whip Team. Congressman LaTurner will assist GOP Whip Steve Scalise in advancing the Republican agenda on the House Floor:
"I am honored to have the opportunity to serve on the House Republican Whip Team to help advance common-sense conservative solutions that get our nation back on track and make it easier for Kansas families to succeed," said Congressman LaTurner. "It's crucial that House Republicans remain united in our efforts to push back against Speaker Pelosi's radical agenda that's only exacerbating the crises facing hard-working Americans. I want to thank Whip Scalise for giving me this opportunity, and I look forward to hitting the ground running with the rest of the team."
"I am proud to announce that Congressman LaTurner will be joining our Whip Team to fight against Speaker Pelosi's far-left agenda and reverse President Biden's disastrous policies that are hurting hard-working Kansas families. A dedicated public servant who loves his country, Congressman LaTurner previously served in both the Kansas State Senate and as Kansas' State Treasurer, where he championed fiscally conservative solutions that saved taxpayer dollars. Congressman LaTurner will play a vital role on our Whip Team fighting for farmers, workers, and small businesses -- just like he already does for his constituents in East Kansas," said House Republican Whip Steve Scalise.
