The House Republican Conference on Wednesday elected Rep. Blake Moore (R-UT) to be its next vice chairman, replacing Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who vacated the position when he won the gavel.

Moore, 43, was first elected in 2021 and has now risen to the ranks of leadership in less than two full years in Congress. While the role of the vice chair is not a flashy one, nor is it one that garners significant media coverage, it is a role that requires much work with little recognition.

“This role is a behind-the-scenes role,” Moore said. “So it needs to be hard work. Roll up your sleeves. Don't be the guy in the press gaggle all the time; help out other members and empower them.”

When Johnson was vice chairman, he worked closely with House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) in coordinating GOP communications and teaching members how best to craft their message.

As he ascends to the new role, Moore said he doesn’t want to change much and wants to carry on Johnson's roles while finding new professional development for “each of our staff.”

Moore wants to bring a “big, strong, optimistic, conservative message that can win the future” and give members the tools to communicate their priorities and achievements.

“I was not elected in a New York district or a Tennessee district. So it's irrelevant how I communicate to my district. But having them be able to take all the tools … and we want to just focus on empowering other members,” Moore said.
