Steve Scalise: “This week, we say good-bye to a longtime member of my staff and also a long-known face here on the floor of the House…”

“This week, we say good-bye to a longtime member of my staff and also a long-known face here on the floor of the House, Ben Napier. Ben started his career on the Rules Committee, and he has been a part of Team Scalise for nearly a decade. Starting as floor assistant and working his way all the way up to the position he serves today: floor director of the House of Representatives for the last 6 years. Nobody knows the ins and outs of floor procedure better than Ben, and he is a trusted presence and a familiar face on the floor to all Members. Ben has had a hand in every piece of legislation that has crossed the floor in the last 9 years and has shepherded nearly every House Republican through the process of getting bills to the floor. Ben has been an integral part in setting and carrying out the House agenda during our time in the majority and has overseen major legislative wins, touching everything from tax reform to energy policy to crypto modernization. Ben has been a trusted adviser and a critical team player. His departure will be felt by everyone on Capitol Hill, but I know he will excel in his next chapter. I thank Ben for his years of dedicated service to the Capitol family. Thank you and congratulations, Ben. ____________________”
