U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Amarillo) was named to Republican House Whip Steve Scalise’s whip team on Thursday.

On Thursday, Jackson’s office announced that he had been tapped for the position by Scalise, who serves House Republicans as their minority whip. Jackson will be tasked with working to help keep Republicans on the same page when votes come up on the House floor.

In a statement, Jackson said he is excited about the opportunity to serve on the whip team.

“I am excited about being a part of the Whip Team, and I am grateful to Congressman Steve Scalise for his appointment,” Jackson said. “As the most radical agenda in American history comes through the 117th Congress, the Whip Team will play an important role in making sure House Republicans keep a united front in advocating for conservative policies and principles.”
