The political parties are picking their leadership in Washington D.C. for the upcoming 120th Congress and Missouri will see one of its representatives in a position.

Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) was picked as the secretary of the House Republican Conference, according to a Tuesday press release from his office. He was first elected to represent the state’s Fourth District in 2022 and has won reelection twice.

Alford previously served as the deputy vice chair for communications at the National Republican Congressional Committee and as chairman of the Republic Study Committee’s Strategic Messaging Task force.

“I am deeply honored by the trust my colleagues have placed in me to serve as Secretary of the Republican Conference,” Alford said in a statement. “From my first day in Washington, my mission has been simple: I am here to help. As Conference Secretary, I look forward to being a servant leader and a catalyst to provide key resources for our members, while ensuring that leadership ALWAYS hears your voices as we navigate the 120th Congress.”
