New House Members Bring Experience to Congress
A group of 110 new House members arrives for briefings, led by veteran New York state legislator John M. McHugh. Most newcomers are seasoned politicians, under 45, with prior elective office and public affairs experience, not political neophytes. They aim to fix public policy and work within the institution, not topple the seniority system. For the first time since the Civil War, African-Americans from five states will hold House seats.
