House Democratic Leadership Positions

House Minority Leader
The Minority Leader serves as the senior official for House Democrats. As leader of the minority party in the House, the Minority Leader works with the Democratic Caucus to set the party agenda, message, and strategy. From time to time, the Minority Leader appoints Minority members to task forces and also has statutory responsibilities to fill positions on Commissions. As a courtesy, rather than referring to the officeholder as the “Minority Leader,” he is generally called the “Democratic Leader.”
