Coveted Posts Shift Regions If Democrats Control Congress
Congressional Quarterly projects major shifts in chairmanships if Democrats win in November. Senate seats likely move toward the South and West, with six Southern and five Western chairmen, while the House would see eight committees led by Southerners. Key figures include Hayden, George, Murray, Gillette, Green, Hill, Byrd, Anderson, Long, Russell, McCarthy, and McClellan in line for influential roles amid anticipated partisan realignment.
