‘LaPolitics’: Scalise increases fundraising haul, national travel schedule Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas and Wisconsin. Plus Louisiana, of course, and Washington, D.C. That’s a sampling from the travel schedule of U.S. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise of Jefferson Parish—from the first two weeks of the month, at least. As he has done in previous terms, Scalise is recruiting new GOP candidates in competitive districts, helping fellow incumbents stand strong and raising money at each and every turn. From 2008 to 2013, Scalise made a name for himself on the Hill as a go-getter who wore out the shoe leather to strengthen the party’s foothold in the lower chamber. By 2014, he was the GOP whip. Today, he clearly knows that making it into the party leadership isn’t the same thing as staying in the leadership. “I’ve been doing more,” Scalise told LaPolitics in an interview. “I’ve been on the road a lot.”
