Government Affairs Forum: Congresswoman Katherine Clark (MA-5)

October 22, 2020 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Virtual via CrowdComms (Zoom)

Event Details

  • In her first address to the Chamber community, Congresswoman Clark will provide insight on her current policy priorities, as the sixth highest ranking Democrat in the 116th Congress.

Tickets

  • Member: Individual $25
  • Government: Individual $25
  • Non-Member: Individual $50
  • (Advance registration is required.)

In her first address to the Chamber community, Congresswoman Clark will provide insight on her current policy priorities, as the sixth highest ranking Democrat in the 116th Congress.

Congresswoman Katherine Clark, Representative for the Fifth District of Massachusetts, joins us for her first formal address to the Chamber community.

Congresswoman Clark’s career in public service is driven by her commitment to helping children and families succeed. She is a vocal advocate for ending wage discrimination, protecting women’s health care, access to affordable, high-quality child care, paid family leave, safer schools, and other reforms to address the challenges women and families face. She believes that Congress must work to end the glaring disconnect between the needs of families at home and priorities in Washington.

In Congress, she brings her experience as a state senator, state representative, general counsel for the Massachusetts Office of Child Care Services, and policy chief for the state attorney general. She represents a diverse district comprised of 24 cities and towns that stretch from the coastal communities of Revere and Winthrop through the economic engine of MetroWest.  

In fall 2018, she was elected by her colleagues to serve as Vice Chair of the Democratic Caucus, making her the sixth highest ranking Democrat in the 116th Congress. Additionally, she serves as a member of the Steering and Policy Committee within the Caucus.
