Biography & Current Office

Background & current office

Katherine Clark has represented Massachusetts’ 5th Congressional District since 2013. Her official biography records earlier service on the Melrose School Committee, in the Massachusetts House and Senate, and in state legal and policy roles.

Clark’s official House biography and the House Historian identify her as Democratic Whip in the 118th and 119th Congresses, the second-ranking position in House Democratic leadership.

Her official biography also records prior service as Assistant Speaker and vice chair of the House Democratic Caucus. TrumpsMouth keeps those leadership facts separate from any future claim-specific review.

Recent Recorded Votes

Official recorded-vote record

TrumpsMouth keeps vote data in the public-record layer rather than treating a vote by itself as a factual controversy. Use the official chamber roll-call database to inspect current votes; claim-specific vote explanations are added only when a sourced allegation requires them.

Sponsored/Cosponsored & Curated Notable Legislation

Legislation & official congressional activity

No legislation has been promoted into the curated editorial layer for this member yet. That is intentional: TrumpsMouth does not manufacture a “notable bill” merely to fill a profile.

Use the official federal records below to review sponsored legislation, roll-call activity and current office statements. TrumpsMouth will add claim-specific vote explanations only when a particular vote or legislative action is actually part of a sourced claim.
