WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Rep. Blake Moore has been appointed to the House Republican Whip Team, responsible for rallying GOP support on issues of import and maintaining party discipline.

The freshman lawmaker, running for reelection this cycle, will serve as an assistant whip, aiding House Republican Whip Steve Scalise, a Louisiana congressman.

“It is imperative that House Republicans are united in our efforts to push legislation that promotes fiscal responsibility, supports our military and veterans, strengthens our national security, fights for energy independence and more,” Moore said in a statement on Thursday.

Scalise lauded Moore’s “servant’s heart.” The Utah lawmaker will “play a vital role in helping House Republicans reverse President (Joe) Biden and (House) Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi’s self-made crises that are hurting millions of families, workers and small businesses across the country.”
