GOP governors aim to reshape House via 1990s momentum
At the Republican Governors Association meeting in Parsippany New Jersey analysts argued that strong state wins in 1988 could empower GOP control of congressional reapportionment after the 1990 census. They warned political winds remain unsettled amid Iran Contra fallout, urging governors to build party strength locally while pursuing a 1991 plan to end Democratic control of reapportionment.
