| Description | Incoming Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) named two new members to his whip team yesterday: Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.), a member of the Congressional Black Caucus with close regional ties to Clyburn, and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), a member of the Thirty-Something Working Group who has been active in the Democrats’ campaign operation.
Butterfield and Wasserman Schultz will join a team of nine chief deputy whips serving directly under Clyburn in the next Congress. The seven others — Reps. John Lewis (D-Ga.), Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.), Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), Ed Pastor (D-Ariz.), Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), John Tanner (D-Tenn.) and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) — served in the same role this Congress under outgoing Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.). Lewis will remain as the senior chief deputy whip.
