CHC ON NEWLY ELECTED CBC LEADERSHIP
Washington D.C.: Chairman Charles A. Gonzalez (TX 20) released this statement after Congressional Black Caucus unanimously elected Congresswoman Marcia Fudge (OH-11) to serve as Chair during the 113th Congress.
The Caucus also elected G.K. Butterfield (NC-01) to serve as First Vice Chair, Yvette Clarke (NY-11) as Second Vice Chair, Rep. André Carson (IN-07) as Secretary and Rep. Karen Bass (CA-33) as Whip.
"The CBC has a rich history of exceptional chairs and Marcia Fudge will be a great addition to this legacy.

I look forward to opportunities that I can work with her and the CBC Executive Board to make the American dream accessible to all Americans."
