I look forward to leveraging our power to achieve our goals in the 119th Congress.” The CBC is the “conscience of the Congress” and has a longstanding history of effective policymaking and advocacy to address the needs of African Americans and other underserved communities across the country. The caucus will have a record number of 62 members, representing districts as diverse as America. As Secretary, Strickland will work to ensure that the Caucus is united in the fight for equitable access to housing, education, jobs, healthcare, and justice for every American. Strickland will serve alongside incoming Chair Rep. Yvette Clarke (NY-09), First Vice Chair Rep. Troy Carter (LA-02), Second Vice Chair Rep. Lucy McBath (GA-07), and Whip Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37) as part of the CBC leadership in the 119th Congress. In the 118th Congress Strickland served as the CBC’s Whip. Strickland is the first, and only member from Washington State and the Pacific Northwest to serve on the CBC Executive Board. U.S. Representative Marilyn Strickland serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. She is Whip for the Congressional Black Caucus, a member of the New Democrat Coalition, and one of the first Korean-American women elected to Congress. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z |
