State Rep. Allen Andrews was named to the Majority Whip team in the Missouri House this week – a position that will give him a more prominent role in determining the outcome of priority legislation. Andrews was named to the team by House Majority Whip, Rep. Steve Lynch.
“With there being many important issues before the House this session, it is vital to have a whip team dedicated to communicating the policies of the majority caucus.  Rep. Andrews will play a key role in communicating those policies and addressing the concerns of his colleagues. I look forward to working with him as part of my Whip Team,” said Lynch, R-Waynesville.
As part of the Majority Whip Team, Andrews will be responsible for assisting Rep. Lynch in rounding up votes on critical issues and communicating policy positions to other members of the majority. As one of two Deputy Whips, Andrews will be responsible for coordinating the activities of ten floor whips that will assist in informing caucus members on key issues and votes.
“I am honored to have the opportunity to play a much greater role in the legislative process,” said Andrews, R-Grant City. “As Deputy Whip I will also be able to better represent the interests of the 1st district. I look forward to working to help ensure the passage of legislation that will be of great benefit to the people in our area, as well as the entire state of Missouri.”
