House Rules Panel Chair Colmer to Retire Opens Leadership Shuffle
Rep William Colmer of Mississippi announced he will not seek re election. His withdrawal paves the way for a liberal successor such as Theo Ray Madden to take the helm of the House Rules Committee, likely shifting voting dynamics and easing obstruction to liberal leadership goals. Delaney J Delaney of New York stands third in line, noted for conservative voting in recent years.
