Schatz was nominated for the new role by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). In addition to the new leadership position, Schatz will retain his role as Chief Deputy Whip. “I’m honored to serve in this new leadership role,” said Senator Schatz. “We have more work to do in the Senate, and this new post puts me in a better position to help shape and defend our priorities. I look forward to working with Leader Schumer and our leadership team on building a stronger future for Hawai‘i and our country.” Winning more than 71 percent of the vote in Hawai‘i this year, Schatz was re-elected to the Senate in November with the largest margin of victory of any Senate candidate in 2022. “From the American Rescue Plan to bipartisan gun safety legislation, CHIPS and Science, Inflation Reduction Act, and more, the last two years have been about addressing the unprecedented challenges facing our country and where possible achieving bipartisan solutions. The American people have chosen progress and democracy, and our caucus will continue to provide the leadership necessary to provide relief to working families grappling with the health and economic aftereffects of the COVID crisis, worsening income inequality, and more. I look forward to leveraging the expertise of our diverse caucus, and as America confronts increasingly dark forces seeking to undermine the very roots of our democracy, it is all the more important that we never lose sight of what is important – improving the lives of American families,” said Leader Schumer. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |
