Gimenez | G000593 | gimenez.house.gov | gimenez | https://gimenez.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Carlos Gimenez was elected by his colleagues to serve as the next Vice Chairman of the Republican Governance Group (RG2). The Republican Governance Group was founded in 1994 and currently has 41 members in the 118th Congress. RG2 is the pragmatic governing wing of the House Republican Conference. As Vice Chair, Congressman Gimenez will prioritize passing effective legislation to grow the economy, bolster national security, and achieve the results the American people set in their mandate when giving the GOP the House majority. "I am honored to have the support of my colleagues to serve as the next Vice Chairman of the Republican Governance Group," said Congressman Carlos Gimenez. "Whether as Mayor of Miami-Dade County or as a Member of Congress, I am proud to lead with our commonsense values to deliver results for our community and the nation. The Members of the Republican Governance Group delivered the House Majority, hailing from some of the most competitive districts in the nation. My RG2 colleagues are among the most effective legislators in Congress, and I look forward to continuing working with Chairman David Valadao (R-CA) to grow RG2, expand our majority, and build on the historic gains we achieved this cycle with the Hispanic-American community." ### Congressman Carlos Giménez represents Miami-Dade County and the beautiful Florida Keys. He is the only Cuban-born Member of the 118th Congress, having fled his homeland shortly after the Communist takeover of the island. He is the first career firefighter paramedic elected to the House of Representatives and served as the former Fire Chief of the City of Miami and Mayor of Miami-Dade County. He serves as the Chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security, the Armed Services Committee, and the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z |
