“Rep. Katherine Clark’s career-long habit of making friends has the Massachusetts Democrat in contention to be the next speaker of the House.” Axios reports.
“Clark has built up a pile of chits in just under eight years in Congress, rising to assistant speaker — her party’s fourth highest-ranking slot in the House, and just one notch ahead of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).”
“Clark has a ‘shine-theory’ leadership mentality: investing in members so they may succeed and then, as a result, allow the entire Democratic caucus to shine.”
