Democratic Whips (1899 to present) About this object A ten-term Member of the House, Oscar Underwood of Alabama served as the first Democratic Whip in 1899. The Democratic Whip assists the Democratic leadership in managing the party's legislative program on the House floor.
If the position becomes vacant during a Congress, a new Whip is elected at a subsequent meeting. When Democrats are in the majority, the Whip is the third highest position in the caucus, behind the Majority Leader and the Speaker. When in the minority, the Whip is the second highest position behind the Minority Leader. Of the 25 members who have served as Democratic Whip, five later became House Speaker, eight became Democratic Leader, and two moved over to the Senate. The Democratic Whip organization has also grown over time as the legislative agenda became busier and the issues of national governance grew more complex.
