Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL-2)
Background Republican Martha Roby is known as an articulate conservative in a party trying to reach out to women voters, but has drawn some flak from the tea party wing for being insufficiently committed to its agenda. Her votes in Congress have already garnered some criticism from the conservative wing of her party. In September 2011, Roby was the subject of a derisive blog post by Erick Erickson of the influential RedState.com. “She has carried water for the leadership” and “betrayed her conservative constituents,” he charged. But Politico named her the most underrated member of the 2010 freshman class in December of that year, saying, “If she’s able to win reelection, she could be a leader of her party.” Recognizing her appeal to younger voters, Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign brought her to North Carolina to stump on his behalf at a September rally. To buy Roby some extra insurance after her close defeat of Bright in 2010, Republican redistricters in Alabama shifted the most heavily black Montgomery precincts from the 2nd District to the 7th District. The move ensured that no Democrat, not even Bright, would ever have a chance there again, and Roby in 2012 sailed to reelection. After winning, she ran for GOP conference vice chair, but lost to the more senior Lynn Jenkins of Kansas.

On the Armed Services Committee, Rogers became chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee in He seeks to protect Anniston Army Depot as well as Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base and Fort Benning in nearby Georgia. Like other Alabama Republicans, he has supported having the power to earmark spending bills to protect those and other state interests. He has been highly critical of the Transportation Security Administration, saying in May 2012 that the aviation security agency must become “smarter, leaner, and tougher.” In general, Rogers harbors a conservative’s distrust of federal agencies, saying in a 2011 radio interview, “Who says the federal government has to have an EPA?” He is occasionally centrist on economic issues, but has been a reliable Republican vote since the GOP regained the majority in 2011.

Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-AL-4)
Background Robert Aderholt, a Republican first elected in 1996, is a mild-mannered conservative who prioritizes obtaining federal money for the state, though he often ventures into social issues. In 1992, Aderholt was appointed Haleyville municipal judge. Three years later, he became a top aide to Republican Gov. Fob James. Aderholt’s voting record is generally conservative, and he was among the first House Republicans to join the Tea Party Caucus in July However, he often votes with labor on trade issues because of local imperatives. He voted against normalizing trade relations with China and opposed free-trade agreements with Chile, Morocco, and Singapore. In 2005, however, he was a crucial vote for the Central America Free Trade Agreement after he got a last-minute letter from President George W. Bush delaying the phase-out of tariffs on socks. Recognizing Aderholt’s electoral vulnerability, Republican leaders appoint him to the Appropriations Committee. He ascended through the ranks, becoming ranking Republican on the Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee. In 2013, he became chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture. The only House member from Alabama in to vote against the $700 billion rescue of the financial markets, he cited the need for a more market-based approach.

In 2017, he ran unsuccessfully for the US Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions. Recently, the Lugar Center measured Brooks to have the lowest Bipartisan Index in the House.

Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL-6)
Background Republican Gary Palmer won Alabama's 6th District in 2015, supported by cash from conservative groups as well as the district's strong Republican lean. He started his early career in the private sector before cofounding the Alabama Policy Institute (API) in In 2012, API joined a coalition that successfully campaigned against a public referendum on a measure to transfer money from the Alabama Trust Fund—which collects royalties from offshore gas exploration—into the state's cash-strapped General Fund, which covers many social services. Palmer and other conservatives argued that a "no" vote on the transfer would force the state to downsize and allocate its spending more efficiently. Palmer also pushed a proposal to Washington Republicans that any debt-ceiling deal should contain language allowing oil and gas exploitation on federal lands as a way to pay down the national debt. Before taking office, Palmer joined a small coterie of GOP freshmen who suggested that they would not back Boehner's speakership. In a debate before the runoff, Palmer told the audience: "I cannot in good conscience support John Boehner because I think he lost his legitimacy to lead" after bringing to the floor bills that most Republicans opposed.

Rep. Donald Young (R-AK-AL)
Background Don Young has been Alaska’s congressman-at-large since 1973 and is now the most-senior Republican in the House. He moved to Alaska in 1959, the year that the territory became a state. Young was elected mayor of Fort Yukon in 1964, to the state House in 1966, and to the state Senate in He ran for Congress in 1972, but lost; however, he was elected in 1973 in a special election. Soon after taking his seat in the House, Young voted for building the Alaska pipeline. But he often found that his aggressive pursuit of economic development for his state conflicted with the environmental lobby and its interest in preserving wildlife. In October 2011, the House passed two Young-sponsored bills of local interest: one to authorize hydroelectricity projects in part of the Denali National Park & Preserve, and another to authorize funds for coastal mapping and hydrographic surveys of the Arctic region. In an effort to protect the fishing industry, Young forged an unlikely alliance with liberal Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., on a bill that passed the House in June 2011 to bar the Food and Drug Administration from spending money on bioengineered salmon.

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ-7)
Background Democrat Ruben Gallego, a first-generation American, was the first in his family to go to college. He was elected in 2014 to represent Arizona's 7th District—and he did it without having to fend off a Republican opponent, beating Libertarian Joe Cobb. Gallego's biography is made for a political candidate, including a hardscrabble upbringing, a Harvard degree and military service in Iraq. It was his experience in Iraq and as a veteran, he has said, that led him to get involved in politics and to help veterans. Gallego was elected to the Arizona Senate in 2010, rising to the role of assistant minority leader in Gallego = founded Citizens for Professional Law Enforcement, which has the goal of recalling Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. When longtime Democratic Rep. Ed Pastor decided to retire, Gallego left the legislature to run. Since the ultra-blue district (it went 72 percent for President Obama in 2012) was considered a shoo-in for the Democratic candidate, the true contest for Gallego came in the August primary. His closest competition was Mary Rose Wilcox, who is also Hispanic and, as Maricopa County supervisor, had high name recognition. Gallego pledged to work on veterans' issues, education and income inequality.

Rep. Rick Crawford (R-AR-1)
Background Crawford was born in Florida on the former Homestead Air Force Base, where his father as stationed. Growing up in a military family, Crawford attended a dozen schools as a child. After graduating from high school in Hudson, N.H., he enlisted in the military. When his military service ended, he moved to southern Missouri and enrolled at Arkansas State University to study agribusiness and economics. He competed on the college rodeo circuit until injuries forced him to quit. He then found work as a rodeo announcer, which led to a news-anchor job in Jonesboro after graduation. He eventually started his own business, the AgWatch Network, a farm-news outlet that today broadcasts on 39 radio stations. When Crawford decided to challenge Democratic Rep. Marion Berry for the 1st District seat, national Republicans were at first cool to the idea, hoping to recruit a more seasoned candidate. But Crawford gained traction after Berry announced he wouldn’t run, which made the district ripe for a GOP takeover. In the House, Crawford got a seat on the Agriculture Committee, where he focuses on ways to protect farmers from what he considers overly burdensome regulations. In 2016 he ran for re-election against Libertarian candidate Mark West and beat his opponent easily.

Rep. French Hill (R-AR-2)
Background J. French Hill, an investment banker and former senior policy adviser for President George H. W. Bush, was elected in to replace retiring Rep. Tim Griffin, keeping the district in GOP hands. Hill's race against former North Little Rock Mayor Patrick Henry Hays was competitive, even though the district had voted for Mitt Romney by a 12-point margin in Hill also served as senior adviser for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's 2008 run for the White House. In the 2013 election, Hill campaigned on a platform of fiscal conservatism that he highlighted in ads promoting "old Blue," a dusty 1998 Volvo. He took some heat, however, for failing to mention his other cars, including a BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Hill advocated approval of the controversial Keystone pipeline, the delay of which had impacted the Little Rock pipe-manufacturing firm Welspun. He pushed for a reduction in the corporate income tax while opposing efforts to hike the minimum wage—a stance he modified when voters approved a referendum to put the issue on the ballot. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee poured more than $1 million into the race, while Hays tried to link Hill to disgraced former Democratic state treasurer Martha Shoffner.

Rep. Steve Womack (R-AR-3)
Background Republican Steve Womack won a vacant seat in the 2010 House election. He has since proposed several high-profile bills that have angered Democrats, including one that would have eliminated funding for President Barack Obama’s teleprompter. As the mayor of a small city, he had a reputation for tough enforcement of immigration laws. Local Hispanic leaders were incensed when Womack claimed that a majority of crimes in the city were committed by illegal immigrants. In 2007, Womack directed city officials to cooperate with raids by federal immigration agents on a Northwest Arkansas Mexican restaurant chain. In the House, Womack established himself as a firmly conservative vote. He made a pitch for a coveted slot on the Appropriations Committee, telling Republican Chairman Harold Rogers of Kentucky that being a mayor had taught him how to say “no.” He got the seat, then immediately went to work saying “yes” to local interests. He added a provision to a spending bill blocking a rule that would have altered the way that cattle, hog and chicken producers are compensated by meat processors, including Arkansas’ Tyson Foods. With Jackie Speier, D-Calif., he introduced another bill enabling Amazon and other online retailers to collect state sales taxes, something that benefitted regular retailers, such as Arkansas’ Wal-Mart, which already collect state sales taxes online.

Westerman was elected to the Arkansas House in 2010 and reelected in 2012, the year the GOP took control of both chambers of the state Legislature for the first time since Reconstruction. In the Arkansas House, Westerman had a solid record as a social and fiscal conservative, voting to override a gubernatorial veto of a voter ID law and for a law banning abortions after 20 weeks. He supported a wide array of legislation expanding gun rights; a measure setting dress codes in public schools; and a bill to require that tests for driver's licenses be offered only in English. He was an architect of the "SIMPLE Plan" to reduce taxes and cut government regulation, a GOP agenda that Westerman says helped win a Republican majority in the 2012 elections. He opposes the so-called Private Option, Arkansas's expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.

Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA-1)
Background Republican Doug LaMalfa won California’s reconfigured 1st congressional district in He hails from what he calls “the real California,” a wide swath of rural California north of Sacramento, close in distance but culturally removed from the liberal Bay Area. A fourth-generation rice farmer from Richvale in Butte County, he was born in Oroville and attended area schools. He later graduated with degrees in agriculture and business from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo.

LaMalfa has made his name in Sacramento by promoting agricultural interests and fighting new government spending and regulation. He ran on a platform that heavily criticized excessive government spending, prompting critics to highlight the $4.7 million in federal agricultural subsidies he received for his family’s rice farm. LaMalfa claimed the federal help was necessary for a small farm to comply with onerous federal regulations. In 2016, he faced off against Democratic challenger Jim Reed and won by almost 20 points.

He attended the University of California, Santa Barbara, on a volleyball scholarship, later becoming a three-time NCAA All-American. He was also a backup player on the US volleyball team in Three years later, Huffman earned his law degree and went to work on antitrust litigation at a San Francisco- based firm before opening his own practice. In 1994, Huffman ran for elective office for the first time and won a position on the board of the Marin Municipal Water District, an experience that led to a job with the Natural Resources Defense Council. In California’s new jungle primary system, the top two vote-getters in the primary, regardless of party affiliation, advance to the general election. There were eight Democrats in the primary race, which split the progressive vote. Huffman finished first, and the splintered Democratic voting effectively eliminated Norman Solomon, an antiwar activist and media critic who would have been Huffman’s toughest opponent in the general election. The second spot went to Republican Daniel Roberts, virtually guaranteeing Huffman victory in the fall in the solidly Democratic district. He won the seat with 71% of the vote.

Rep. Paul Cook (R-CA-8) Background
A 26-year Marine Corps veteran and Vietnam-era war hero, Republican Paul Cook knocked back a surprisingly tough tea party challenger in 2012 on his way to claiming the seat of retiring GOP Rep. Jerry Lewis. In his race for Congress, Cook enjoyed the support of a host of California Republicans, including former Gov. Pete Wilson and Reps. Darrell Issa and Jeff Denham. He also got endorsements from the US Chamber of Commerce and California Taxpayers Association. He joined a crowded field of 13 candidates in the 8th District primary to succeed Lewis, who had served 17 terms (in the pre-redistricting 41st District) and became a powerful appropriator. Despite the endorsements, Cook trailed a newcomer tea party candidate Gregg Imus in the primary by just 237 votes. Under California’s new top-two, all-party primary, that set up a general election race between the two Republicans, and Cook won 57% to 43%. Cook picked up momentum in the general-election campaign, significantly outraising his opponent. He ran on promises not to raise taxes and to fight for veterans and military families, using the issues to distance himself from Democrats. “Military and veterans seem to be a low priority with this administration, but I won’t let Washington replicate the past, where they forgot about veterans returning from Vietnam,” he said.

Rep. Jerry McNerney (D-CA-9)
Background Democrat Jerry McNerney (CA-09), first elected in 2006, has been one of the most politically vulnerable members of his party: he won in one of the most hard-fought contests of the 2006 wave election and in two high-profile reelection battles. Though he is more moderate than most California Democrats, his background in the energy field puts him solidly on his party’s side on energy issues. In the House, energy has remained his prime interest. He has established the most moderate voting record in California’s delegation, especially on cultural issues, and in 2011, be voted with a majority of Republicans to extend several provisions of the USA Patriot anti-terrorism law.

Rep. Mark DeSaulnier (D-CA-11)
Background State lawmaker Mark DeSaulnier was elected to the House in He is a veteran of California politics with blue-collar bona fides. In his early career, he was a trucker, probation officer, and hotel worker before entering the restaurant business, eventually owning several Bay Area dining locales. A keen interest in local politics inspired him to run for Concord City Council in 1991, and he became mayor in His involvement with local and county politics later led him to run for a state Assembly seat in 2006 and the state Senate in In January, when Democratic Rep. George Miller, a liberal leader and close ally of Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, announced his retirement, DeSaulnier got his opening. In running for Tauscher's seat, he fell to a better-known candidate, John Garamendi; but after the state's 2012 redistricting, Garamendi won election in the neighboring 3rd District. That opened up an opportunity in the 11th, and this time DeSaulnier made sure he was well positioned. Armed with the biggest war chest and a slew of endorsements (including Miller and the San Francisco Chronicle), DeSaulnier quickly established himself as the primary front-runner. At the same time, he used his day job in the state Senate, where he chairs the transportation committee, to advance liberal priorities.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA-12)
Background Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House from 2007 to 2011 and minority leader since Democrats lost control of the chamber, is one of the most polarizing figures in politics. Detested by Republicans for her proudly liberal views, she is beloved in her party for her legislative accomplishments as well as her fundraising and politicking. Pelosi was the first woman to achieve the speakership and was elected to Congress in June As minority leader, Pelosi’s public image has receded since 2010, when Republicans ran hundreds of ads vilifying her in their successful campaign to gain control of the House. Democrats' dismal showings in both the 2010 and 2014 midterm elections fueled speculation about whether it was time for her to step aside. However, she has proven far too skilled at hauling in campaign funds; she collected more than $101 million during the cycle. Of that amount, more than $65 million went to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. In the 111th Congress, Pelosi pushed hard for legislation restricting carbon emissions, her signature issue. The other major initiative for Pelosi was Obama’s Affordable Care Act, and its passage was the defining moment of Pelosi’s speakership and showcased her skills at putting together complex legislation and rounding up reluctant votes, amid a volatile climate of public opinion.

After a visit to Cuba, she called for the end of the 40-year embargo. She led a delegation of Democrats there in 2009 to discuss trade and other issues, and two years later helped to get charter passenger flights to the island nation from Oakland’s airport. As the co-chair of the Progressive Caucus, she laid out an agenda with three priorities: economic justice and security, protection of civil rights and liberties, and promotion of global peace. She was a founder of the Out of Iraq Caucus, a group of the most vocal antiwar House members. When outspoken black GOP Rep. Allen West of Florida cited her in August 2011 as one of the leaders seeking to keep African-Americans on a “21st century plantation,” she said his remarks were “absurd on their face and are simply another in a long stream of incendiary comments designed to fan the flames of the extreme right.” She voted against that month’s hard-fought deal to raise the debt ceiling.

Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA-16) Background
Democrat Jim Costa, elected in 2004, is a farmer who concentrates on the agricultural issues of his district’s residents, often trying to find a middle ground between production and resource protection. He is among the California delegation’s most conservative Democrats, but takes his party’s side on most big issues. Born in Fresno, he was raised on his family’s dairy farm. In 1978, Costa was elected to the state Assembly, where he was known as a moderate Democrat. In 2002, after he was forced to retire that year because of term limits, Costa founded a consulting firm. Two years later, Costa ran for the House, benefitting from the fact that his former state Senate district covered the entire 20th congressional district. Costa’s lengthy legislative record didn’t readily lend itself to the “liberal” label, but Costa won 53%-47%. In the House, Costa got seats on the Agriculture and the Natural Resources committees, both important to the Valley. When Costa bucks his party, it tends to be on the fiscal issues that bring out his conservative impulses. He was one of just 22 House Democrats to support a failed proposal in March 2012 to adopt the Simpson-Bowles commission’s budget, which imposed politically painful spending reductions to balance the budget.

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA-1)
Background After surviving a fierce battle with a tea-party candidate in 2014, Republican Earl "Buddy" Carter crushed his Democratic rival, Brian Reese, to represent Georgia's 1st District. He succeeded GOP Rep. Jack Kingston, who gave up his seat for an unsuccessful Senate bid, to represent a stretch of coastal Georgia that runs from Savannah to the Florida border.

Rep. John Lewis (D-GA-5) Background
John Lewis, a Democrat first elected in 1986, made history as a leader of the civil rights movement, an experience that informs his work as a legislator on voting rights and makes him one of the iconic figures in American politics today. In March 1965, he led the Selma-to-Montgomery march to petition for voting rights. During that historic event, he was beaten by policemen, who fractured his skull. Quietly maintaining his poise and sound judgment under harsh circumstances, Lewis was one of the people who risked their lives to make the civil rights revolution happen. He worked for Robert Kennedy’s campaign for president in 1968 and was with him in Indianapolis when they heard Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had been shot. Lewis has been a strong partisan, with a firmly liberal voting record. Although usually quiet, he can speak with the forceful cadence of Black civil rights-era preachers, which he did in 1991, in opposition to the Gulf War resolution, and in to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. In March 2010, Lewis linked arms with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and walked to the Capitol in support of the Affordable Care Act, through a gauntlet of taunting protestors.

While in law school, he clerked for a firm in Washington, where he worked on issues related to President Clinton’s energy policy and then First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton’s health care initiative. He fell in love with being on the frontlines of national policymaking and worked out a deal with the dean of the University of Georgia School of Law to allow him to finish his degree in Washington. In 1994, Woodall left his job at the law firm and took a 50% pay cut to go to work as a legislative aide for Linder.

Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA-8)
Background Republican Austin Scott is a devout fiscal conservative who upset four-term incumbent Democrat Jim Marshall in 2010, a victory that symbolized the waning lifespan of Blue Dog Democrats in the South. After college, Scott opened an insurance brokerage firm, which he continues to operate today. Scott first won election to the state House at 26. He sponsored a bill to provide better funding for the state’s trauma care system. In January 2009, Scott got into the Georgia governor’s race. To boost awareness of his campaign, he went on a 1,000-mile walk around the state, talking to voters. He made his 64-day journey in the height of summer, losing 7 pounds in the process. But his campaign failed to gain traction, and after briefly considering running for lieutenant governor, he decided to challenge Marshall. Scott won the race 53% to 47%. Scott ran for reelection unopposed in When he got to Washington, Scott’s role as freshman class president led him to be regularly called on to interpret his boisterous classmates’ actions to the news media. He was given a seat on the Armed Services Committee, fulfilling a campaign promise from then-Minority Leader John Boehner.

Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA-9)
Background Republican Doug Collins is a Baptist minister who beat a Tea Party-backed candidate in 2012 to claim the newly drawn 9th District seat. In 1988, Collins graduated from North Georgia College & State University, where he studied political science and business. He worked in several jobs in the hazardous materials industry but then felt a calling to the ministry. After spending some time volunteering as a youth minister, he entered the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. In 2002, Collins joined the Air Force Reserve and, in 2008, did a tour in Iraq as a chaplain, an experience that he says gave him “a whole different perspective of what freedom is like and what the lack of it is like.” Beginning in 2005, he attended law school in Atlanta and later opened his own practice in Gainesville. In 2006, Collins successfully ran for the state House from a district north of Gainesville and was reelected in 2008 and Reapportionment gave Georgia a 14th seat in the US House. The new 9th District was drawn by state Republicans to elect one of their own. Collins faced Gainesville talk-show host Martha Zoller in the primary, and won in the runoff election 55% to 45%. The party’s nomination was tantamount to election in the heavily GOP district, and Collins coasted to victory in the general election against Gainesville lawyer Jody Cooley, a Democrat.

Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA-10) Background
Jody Hice was a Baptist minister and radio talk-show host who has made a career at the forefront of the culture wars, pledging to fight for "constitutional conservatism." In his 2012 book, It's Now or Never: A Call to Reclaim America, he argues that supporters of abortion rights are worse than Hitler and that homosexuality causes shorter life spans as well as depression. Hice got his first taste of political battle in 2003, when he helped lead a campaign against a lawsuit by the ACLU seeking to remove a Ten Commandments display at the Barrow County courthouse. Five years later, he waged a successful effort against the IRS over whether politically active clergy can keep their tax-exempt status. In the May primary in the House race in 2014, Hice came out on top by a hair, at 33.5 percent, with Mike Collins less than a percentage point behind. The result forced them to face each other in a July runoff, where Hice had the advantage because the other primary candidates had split the more conservative vote. Hice defeated Collins, 54 percent to 46 percent, and went on to coast to an easy general election victory. Immediately after the election, the liberal website Salon declared him "America's worst new congressman." Hice won reelection in 2016, running unopposed.

Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA-11)
Background Republican Barry Loudermilk was elected to the House in He initially turned to state politics after a stint in business, after being elected to the state House in He was elected in 2010 to the state Senate, where he served on the committees for economic development and transportation and chaired the science and technology panel. The GOP primary initially drew six candidates after GOP Rep. Phil Gingrey vacated his seat for an unsuccessful primary bid for the Senate. Loudermilk and former Rep. Bob Barr were the top two vote-getters and ultimately faced each other in a runoff in July. Loudermilk drew attention from outside the state, notably from some liberal groups and the blogosphere, for his association with self-described historian David Barton. Barton has argued that the framers of the US Constitution intended to establish a conservative Christian government and that the First Amendment applies only to Christians. In the end, Barr’s attacks did little to slow Loudermilk's march to the runoff, where he trounced Barr by a 2-to-1 ratio. The 11th District, which covers Bartow and Cherokee counties as well as parts of Cobb and Fulton counties, gave Mitt Romney 67 percent of the vote in and is so reliably Republican that no Democrat even considered running. Loudermilk was criticized for revealing that he did not vaccinate most of his children.

Rep. Rick Allen (R-GA-12) Background
Republican Rick Allen reclaimed this increasingly red district for the GOP in 2014 by ousting five-term incumbent John Barrow. Allen advocated greater fiscal discipline, calling for reductions in government spending, and blasted excessive taxation and regulation as barriers to job creation. Unlike former primary winner and state Rep. Lee Anderson, who drew criticism from local newspapers for his refusal to debate Barrow, Allen debated the congressman, though he drew attention for refusing to do so at an Islamic community center. He called it a "suspect venue," and the location was changed to a government complex. Allen touted his support for the Second Amendment, but Barrow boasted an A+ rating and an endorsement from the National Rifle Association. He also won the backing of other traditionally Republican groups, such as the US Chamber of Commerce. With little daylight between the candidates on a number of issues, from gun control to agricultural policy, the Republican strategy focused instead on the national Democratic Party. Barrow was again a top target for the National Republican Congressional Committee, which bolstered Allen's campaign with ads linking the congressman to Obama. Allen took 55 percent to Barrow's 45 percent.

Rep. David Scott (D-GA-13)
Background David Scott represents Georgia’s 13th district. Scott is known for being more of a centrist than his other Democrat colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus. Born in rural South Carolina, Scott later moved to Scarsdale, N.Y. He later graduated from Florida A&M University, then interned with the US Labor Department in Washington. Scott later earned his M.B.A from the prestigious Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He moved to Atlanta in the early 1970s, and in 1974, he was elected to the Georgia House. In 1982, he won election to the state Senate, where he chaired the Rules Committee. From 1979 to 2002, he owned Dayn-Mark Advertising, which creates and places radio, television, and print ads. The firm is now operated by his wife and two daughter. In 2002, Scott won the newly created 13th District seat. In the House, Scott has been a more faithful party vote in recent years but has had no reluctance about going his own way voting with Republicans to audit the Fed in 2012 and supporting the Bush tax cuts. On the Financial Services Committee, Scott criticized predatory lenders that exploit would-be homeowners in poor communities. He initially opposed the bailout of the financial markets, but after Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., promised to address the Black Caucus’ call for additional protections for homeowners facing foreclosure, Scott switched his vote.

Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA-14) Background
Republican Tom Graves was elected in a June 2010 special election to replace 17-year incumbent Nathan Deal, also a Republican, who resigned his seat to run for governor. A well-regarded figure among his fellow conservatives but a periodic annoyance to House GOP leaders, Graves lost a bid in November 2012 to chair the Republican Study Committee, the caucus of the chamber’s most right-wing members. In 2001, he and his wife Julie, the founding president of the Gordon County Right to Life chapter, successfully opposed the construction of an abortion clinic in the area. The campaign propelled Graves to a seat on the county board and later in the Georgia House, where he served more than seven years. While a state legislator, he advocated for abortion restrictions and lower taxes, including a successful 2009 business tax cut bill. In the special election runoff to succeed Deal, Graves bested Republican state Sen. Lee Hawkins, 56% to 44%, in a June 2010 runoff for the remainder of Deal’s term. Then, the two faced off again in the primary for a full term. Graves won the August primary runoff, 55% to 45%, earning the Republican nomination to run in the general election, which was a pro forma affair with no Democratic opposition. In Washington, Graves joined the congressional Tea Party Caucus.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL-16)
Background Republican Adam Kinzinger, elected in 2010, is a telegenic conservative just in his 30s who has racked up considerable experience in the military and political worlds. He served three tours in Iraq from 2007 to 2009 and a tour in Afghanistan. A former Air Force pilot, he dispatched first-term Democratic Rep. Debbie Halvorson, and then two years later, knocked off 10-term Republican Don Manzullo in a brutal Republican primary in When he got to Washington, Kinzinger had his first brush with the national news media when The New York Times took him to task in a December 2010 editorial after Kinzinger held a $5,000-a-head breakfast at the Capitol Hill Club to raise money for his campaign debt. The editorial said it smacked of “business as usual” for a lawmaker who had promised to be different. But he became a favorite of House GOP leaders, who put him on the whip team and gave him a choice seat on the Energy and Commerce Committee, where he has generally upheld business’ interests. He has called for dramatically overhauling the tax code to make it friendlier to companies. He got a bill through the House in September 2012 aimed at helping states streamline certification requirements for veterans with emergency medical technician training who want to continue as civilian EMTs.

Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-IL-17)
Background Democrat Cheri Bustos in 2012 took advantage of her roots in Illinois politics—her father was a former chief of staff for Democratic Sen. Alan Dixon—and the district’s Democratic leanings to unseat Rep. Bobby Schilling, who had ridden the Republican wave to victory in As the 2012 election approached, Democrats were eager to reclaim the 17th District House seat from freshman Republican Schilling, and redrew the district lines after the 2010 census to make it more Democratic. When Bustos entered the race, her friendship with Durbin paid off—he provided a rare primary endorsement in January 2012 and urged other Democrats to exit the race. She went on to win the primary over two other candidates with 54% of the vote. In the House, Health-related issues are a key concern for her: She lost her uninsured sister-in-law to cancer, and her brother to cancer months later, after his insurance refused to cover the medication he needed. President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, she told National Journal, is “at least in the right direction,” but Bustos insists that more has to be done to improve what she calls a “broken” system. In November 2016, she won re-election by over 20 points in a district won by Donald Trump.

Rep. Ron Estes (R-KS-4) Background
Prior to his election to the House, Estes served as the state treasurer of Kansas for seven years. Estes, a fifth generation Kansan, visited all 105 counties across the state as treasurer. In 2017, after Mike Pompeo vacated his House seat to head the CIA, Estes ran to take his place in what was widely considered a safely conservative district. President Trump won the district by 27 points and Pompeo won by 31 points in However, GOP Governor Sam Brownback’s deep unpopularity, along with Democratic enthusiasm in turning out to vote, had Republicans worried in the days leading up to the election. In the end, Estes won by about 7 points with the help of a last-minute influx of support from prominent GOP leaders like President Trump and Senator Ted Cruz. National Democrats did not help fundraise for Estes’ opponent. Estes cited low voter turnout as the reason for his slim margin of victory.

With his journalism background, he joined a “messaging” group that advised Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders on media strategy. He joined the Budget Committee, where he frequently jabs at Senator McConnell (R-KY) on fiscal policy. But Yarmuth also goes places rhetorically where most Democrats won’t venture. After the House passed the fiscal-cliff budget compromise, he praised House Speaker John Boehner. Northup came back for a rematch in 2008, and even though she raised more money than Yarmuth, he had a much easier time than in 2006, winning 59%-41%.

Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY-5) Background
Harold Rogers, a Republican first elected in 1980, is beloved in his rural district: he regularly is reelected with more than 75% of the vote. Rogers grew up in Wayne County, graduated from the University of Kentucky, served in the National Guard and then practiced law in Somerset before buying the Citizens National Bank in Somerset. In 1969, at age 34, he was elected Pulaski-Rockcastle Commonwealth attorney. In 1979, he was the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor. The following year, when the 5th District congressman retired, Rogers was one of 11 Republicans in the primary. He got the nomination with 23% of the vote (Kentucky has no runoff except in gubernatorial races) and then easily won in November. Rogers rose to chairman of Appropriations in 2011 after Republicans won control of the House. After the 2010 election, Lewis sought a waiver of the Republicans’ three-term limit on chairman and ranking member positions, but the Republican Steering Committee did not agree and named Rogers as chairman. Part of the reason for Rogers’ continuing clout is his ability to work with Democrats. Another source of his influence is the inability of recent congressional majorities to pass individual appropriations bills, which has led to massive omnibus spending bills.

Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY-6) Background
Two years after losing to Democratic Rep. Ben Chandler by just 647 votes, Republican attorney Andy Barr got his revenge by winning Kentucky’s 6th District in 2012, even after boundary changes made the district slightly more Democratic. Barr grew up in Lexington and graduated from the University of Virginia with a bachelor’s degree in government and philosophy. After two years as a legislative assistant for then Rep. Jim Talent, R-Mo., Barr returned to his hometown to earn a law degree from the University of Kentucky. Since then, he has practiced law as well as taught constitutional law and administrative law as a part-time instructor at Morehead State University. Barr also served as a deputy general counsel to former Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher. The race against Chandler in 2010 went down to the wire, and although Barr hoped a recheck of voting machines would narrow the gap, he decided against a recount and conceded to Chandler 10 days after the election. Barr got an earlier start in his 2012 rematch and attacked President Barack Obama’s policies—especially on coal, an important issue to the district—and aggressively went after his rival. Polls showed the race tightening, and Barr got fundraising help from GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and outside Republican groups that helped put him over the top. He won, 51% to 47%.

In 1994, he was elected Baltimore County executive, a position once held by Republican Vice President Spiro Agnew.

Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD-5)
Background Democrat Steny Hoyer, elected in 1981, is the longest-serving member of Congress from Maryland. He is the minority whip and the de facto leader of his party’s shrinking moderate wing in the House. He is a bipartisan deal-cutter despite his role as a public critic of Republicans. He grew up in New York City, but moved from place to place with his mother and stepfather, who was in the Air Force and, when Steny was in high school, was transferred from Florida to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. In 1966, just after graduating from law school, Hoyer was elected to the Maryland Senate, at age 27.

In 1981, after incumbent Gladys Spellman was incapacitated by a heart attack, the 5th District seat was declared vacant. Hoyer won the special election, edging out Spellman’s husband and several other Democrats in the primary and beating a well-financed Republican in the general. The district then was entirely in Prince George’s County. Hoyer has fine political instincts, works hard, and can speak in an old-fashioned, patriotic style that can be genuinely moving. His voting record is relatively moderate among Democrats, especially on foreign policy issues. Hoyer won his first leadership post in 1989 as chairman of the Democratic Caucus. Hoyer later became minority whip in 2002.

A Washington Times study found that McGovern had the lowest turnover among staff of any member of Congress from to On Rules, McGovern started with the advantage of already being versed in House procedures. With GOP lawmakers dominating the panel, he showed a sharp partisan edge as he embraced parliamentary maneuvers that led to cries of outrage from House Republicans. With his considerable leverage, he became a party leader on Iraq war policy, sponsoring an unsuccessful 2007 bill to withdraw US troops from Iraq in six months. Later that year, he proposed a war surtax, but Democratic leaders rejected it. He subsequently turned his attention to Afghanistan, and in May 2011 nearly succeeded in getting the House to pass a resolution aimed at accelerating troop withdrawals.

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA-6)
Background Democrat Seth Moulton, a former Marine captain and Iraq War veteran, was elected in Massachusetts came within a hair's breadth in 2012 of seeing its all-Democratic House delegation change when Republican Richard Tisei lost to embattled Democratic Rep. John Tierney by 1 percentage point. Two years later, Democrats were ready to take on Tisei again and nominated Moulton, who ousted Tierney in the primary and Tisei in the general by selling himself as a fresh face. After graduating from Harvard University with a BS in physics, he joined the Marine Corps, attending Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Va. He served four tours of duty from 2004 to 2008, and in 2008 he took on the role of special liaison with tribal leaders in southern Iraq at the personal request of Gen. David Petraeus. He later earned his M.B.A. and master's in public policy from Harvard University. Moulton said he decided to get involved in politics while still in the Marines. In 2014, Moulton ran as a progressive Democrat and won endorsements from Petraeus, retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He beat Tisei easily and immediately began drawing significant attention for his unusual-for-a-Democrat resume. He vowed not to be a typical congressman, saying he has told his former Marine buddies to watch him closely.

When some Democrats in February called for releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to try to reduce gasoline prices, Lynch called the idea “premature.” He moderated his stance on abortion in February 2013, saying he believes it is a constitutionally protected right and that as a senator he would oppose anti-abortion Supreme Court nominees. He showed unexpected support for gay rights causes, developing a political alliance with home-state colleague Barney Frank, an openly gay Democrat. Lynch has been reelected without great difficulty. His opposition to the health care bill prompted a primary challenge from the left in from Mac D’Alessandro, a former regional political director for the Service Employees International Union. In early 2013, Lynch entered the primary contest for Kerry’s seat, a race that also drew his more-senior Massachusetts Democratic colleague, Ed Markey. Markey easily defeated Lynch in the primary.

Bergman also has experience as a pilot for Northwest Airlines and in the medical equipment field. Following Rep. Dan Benishek’s (R) decision to not run for reelection, Bergman defeated Michigan State Senator Tom Casperson and former Michigan State Senator Jason Allen in the district’s primary. In the general election, Bergman prevailed over Democrat Lon Johnson in the mostly rural district that encompasses all of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and the upper third of the lower peninsula. Hotly contested issues in the race revolved around whether either candidate was truly from the 1st district and Social Security reform. Despite Johnson’s fundraising advantage, Bergman ultimately won the tough-fought race, in part, by appealing to his status as a political outsider.

Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI-2)
Background Republican Bill Huizenga was elected in 2010 to succeed his friend and former boss, Rep. Pete Hoekstra. He is a staunch conservative and has been even further to the right on fiscal issues than Hoekstra. When Hoekstra decided to run for Michigan governor in 2010, the real contest for his House seat in the heavily Republican district was the GOP primary. In the seven-way race, Huizenga touted his conservative credentials, saying he supported conservative proposals for a “flat tax,” which would replace the income tax with a 23% sales tax, and to create private Social Security accounts. He also ran as an anti-abortion candidate. In the House, Huizenga won notice for his facility with Congress’ inner workings in contrast to other freshmen. Washington Post conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin said admiringly in January 2011 that he “seems to understand how to advance aggressive goals without being aggressive or off-putting.” After opposing the New Year’s Day budget deal aimed at averting the so-called “fiscal cliff” of tax hikes and deep spending cuts, he called for providing block grants for Medicare and Medicaid to states while re-examining who qualifies for Social Security. Huizenga took up Hoekstra’s longtime crusade against Federal Prison Industries, contending that it harms small businesses because of its access to cheap labor.

After graduating from college, he became a consultant for his family’s tool-import business. He also served as a corporate lawyer for a year before running for a seat in the Michigan House in Amash entered the 3rd District race, he said, because he was fed up with eight-term incumbent Rep. Vern Ehlers’s moderate voting record. But then, Ehlers announced his retirement. He won the August primary, and entered the general election against Democratic lawyer Pat Miles. He won 60% of the vote to 37% for Miles.

James Barcia, considered a challenge, but Kildee ultimately ran in the primary unopposed. He then had little trouble dispatching Republican former state Rep. Jim Slezak in the general election, winning 65% to 31%.

But he also freely exercised his independence when his party controlled the House from 1995 to In his voting patterns, Upton did become more conservative as he was courting Republican leaders for the chairmanship in Taking the helm of Energy and Commerce in 2011, he confidently predicted that “a significant number of Democrats” would join his party’s efforts to overturn President Barack Obama’s health care law. It turned out, though, that the repeated votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act never drew more than a handful of Democrats in support. In the past several years, many of Upton’s initiatives got through the House on largely party-line votes and were left for dead in the Senate.

His great-grandfather founded a lumber business in Minneapolis in 1907 that his family still runs. Emmer practiced law and first served on the city councils of Independence and Delano before being elected to the state Assembly in His GOP colleagues eventually voted him deputy majority leader despite his lack of seniority. During his 2010 race against Dayton, Emmer staked out one of the most conservative platforms this blue-leaning state had seen in decades. But the national Republican wave that year was not strong enough to lift him over Dayton. Emmer subsequently launched a conservative AM radio talk show in the Twin Cities.

Rep. Ann Kuster (D-NH-2) Background
Democrat Ann McLane Kuster was born in Concord and is part of a prominent political family in the Granite State. Her great-grandfather John McLane served as governor of New Hampshire, while her father, Malcolm McLane, was mayor of Concord and later an unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate. Her mother, Susan McLane, was a Republican state legislator for 25 years. When Kuster was 16, she worked on the failed 1972 presidential campaign of Rep. Pete McCloskey, R-Calif., an anti-Vietnam War candidate who challenged President Nixon. Kuster later graduated from Dartmouth College in 1978 and worked in McCloskey’s Washington office for three years. During that time, she specialized in foreign policy and traveled to South Africa, where the apartheid system was still in place, and to newly independent Zimbabwe. In 2010, Kuster faced off against Republican Charlie Bass. She was definitely the underdog in a strong year for Republicans and she lost with a slim margin. In 2012, Kuster ran unopposed in the Democratic primary. In the fall campaign this time around, Kuster had a more favorable political climate, as the strength of the antigovernment tea party receded. She won, 50% to 45%.

Rep. Donald Norcross (D-NJ-1)
Background A union business manager who started his career as an electrician, Norcross jumped into politics in 2009, when he won election to the state Assembly. A year later, he was appointed to fill a vacated state Senate seat. He was a leading backer of the state's constitutional amendment to raise the minimum wage as well as a bill providing tax incentives to businesses that operate in hard-hit areas. But on other issues—notably charter schools—Norcross has staked out more centrist positions. Norcross got his opening when Andrews announced he was stepping down to take a job at a Philadelphia law firm. Norcross was primed to run from the start. Blessed with Andrews's backing, he promptly lined up endorsements from key Democrats across South Jersey. Two months later, when he filed his first-quarter numbers in April, he had already raised $379,000 and reported $350,000 cash on hand. He was in a strong position not just because he was the favored Democrat in a blue district; his brother, George Norcross III, is a longtime power broker in the state and, until recently, owned a majority stake in The Philadelphia Inquirer. Norcross's two primary opponents, Frank Minor and Frank Broomell, tried to play up his entrenched political ties as a liability. But he handily beat them in June and ran an easy race against Cobb, who from the start faced an uphill battle in a district where President Obama won 66 percent of the vote in 2012.

Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ-4)
Background Republican Chris Smith, first elected in 1980, combines a vociferous opposition to abortion with an equally passionate commitment to human rights and other normally Democratic priorities. Such independence does not always sit well with Republican leaders, but Smith’s tenacity has made him one of the most successful legislators at guiding bills into law. Smith grew up in the Trenton area, worked in his family’s sporting goods business, and, after graduating from college, became executive director of the New Jersey Right to Life Committee in Four years later, he ran for the House in a Trenton- centered 4th District and defeated 26-year Rep. Frank Thompson, a Democrat convicted in the Abscam bribery scandal. He won passage of 30 bills from 1991 to 2008, the fifth-largest number for any member of Congress during that period. Even during the four years in which Democrats controlled the House from 2007 to 2010, Smith still managed to get 11 of his bills passed. Among his legislative successes in the 112th Congress ( ) was the Combating Autism Reauthorization Act, a law authorizing $693 million in spending on autism research over three years. A devout Roman Catholic, Smith is best known for his fight against legalized abortion.

Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ-6)
Background Democrat Frank Pallone, first elected in 1988, is one of his party’s chief messengers on health care and environmental issues as the most senior member of the Energy and Commerce Committee. He became the panel's ranking Democrat in 2015 after edging out Anna Eshoo, a favorite of Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Pallone started as a political maverick, but has become more loyal to the Democratic Party as he has risen in the party hierarchy. He was among those tied in National Journal rankings for most-liberal House member in 2011 (he was 38th in 2012 and 20th in 2013). His environmental focus has been on protecting the New Jersey shoreline. In 2006, he won passage of a bill to reduce and prevent debris in the marine environment. And two years later, he was the lead sponsor of a bipartisan bill to rebuild American fisheries. As chairman of Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Health in 2009, Pallone helped steer to passage the Democrats’ expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, which he called “a down payment to ensuring that all Americans have access to affordable health care.” During the health care overhaul debate, he shuttled among the various factions of Blue Dogs and progressives to try to get them to be flexible. After the bill passed in 2010, and Republicans tried to repeal it, Pallone was among its most outspoken defenders.

Sires succeeded Menendez as the only Cuban-American House member from a state other than Florida (although Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas joined that group in 2013). Sires has been reelected easily since then. In the House, Sires established a liberal voting record that has placed him in the middle of the pack among New Jersey’s House Democrats.

Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY-1) Background
Republican Lee Zeldin's race in 2014 against Democratic Rep. Tim Bishop was far more successful for him than their matchup, when Bishop prevailed in what was a strong Democratic year. The second time around, Zeldin was able to convince voters it was time to replace an opponent he called a "backbencher." After completing his education, Zeldin received an Army commission as a second lieutenant and deployed to Iraq with an infantry battalion of paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division. The national Republican Party had sought for several years to make inroads in the eastern Long Island swing district. Bishop defeated Zeldin in 2008 with 58 percent of the vote, but the gap narrowed in subsequent years. Zeldin won election to the state Senate in 2010 and became known for his effort to fund a pilot program for soldiers suffering from post- traumatic stress disorder. In the GOP primary for the 1st district, he defeated perpetual candidate George Demos even though Demos outspent him by a ratio of more than 3-to-1. In the general election, a September poll showed Bishop with a 10-percentage-point lead. The American Action Network and the NRCC each spent more than $1 million accusing Bishop of being a corrupt Washington insider. He won to become the House's lone Jewish Republican, a status once held by Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia before his primary loss and subsequent resignation.

Rep. Pete King (R-NY-2) Background
Republican Peter King, first elected in 1992, went from being known mainly as a loquacious maverick to becoming a serious counterweight to the Obama administration on domestic security matters. His penchant for quotable quips has made him a constant presence on cable television. King’s voting record ranks him near the ideological center of the House. He is more conservative on foreign policy than on economic or social issues, but with distinctive interests. He is far to the left of other Republicans on gun control, declaring after the Newtown, Conn., school massacre that Americans “don’t need assault weapons” and renewed his calls for background checks for firearm purchases at gun shows. He opposes racial quotas and preferences as well as bilingual education. He supports English-only laws and opposes aid to illegal immigrants. King occasionally has picked fights on TV with Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, one of the leaders of the tea party movement. During the presidential transition, King met with Trump and urged him to consider a Muslim domestic surveillance program. When Trump issued an executive order a few days after he took office that imposed a temporary immigration ban on several Muslim-majority countries with records of supporting terrorism, King said that it was "overdue."

Her nickname is "La Luchadora" -- "The Fighter.“ She grew up in Puerto Rico as one of nine children of sugarcane field workers.

She studied political science at the University of Puerto Rico and taught there in the 1970s. After graduate school in New York City, she went to work for Rep. Edolphus Towns of New York. In 1983, she became the first Hispanic woman to be elected to the New York City Council. When the 12th District was created in 1992, Velázquez was a major contender in the Democratic primary but had to overcome Rep. Stephen Solarz, who had decided to run in the new district rather than in the Manhattan-dominated 8th or in the 9th District, where incumbent Democrat Charles Schumer had a heavy advantage. Velázquez beat Solarz 34% to 28%. She won in November with 77% of the vote. In the House, Velázquez has a solidly liberal voting record, with occasional pro-business votes on economic issues. As the panel’s chairman in March 2009, she praised the Obama administration for requiring the nation’s largest banks to report monthly on how much lending they do to small businesses.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY-8)
Background Democrat Hakeem Jeffries was elected in 2012 to New York’s 8th District seat to replace Democrat Edolphus Towns, who retired after 20 years in Congress. During his six years in the New York State Assembly, Jeffries was viewed as a rising star and sometimes called “Brooklyn’s Barack.” After a one-year clerkship with a federal judge, he went to work for Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, a law firm known for launching the careers of prominent Democratic New York politicians. Jeffries endured what he called “knock-down” but not “knockout” blows when he twice challenged multi-decade Democratic Assemblyman Roger Green in 2000 and Despite losing both races, Jeffries earned a reputation as a strong campaigner and efficient fundraiser. When Green stepped down in 2006 to run for Congress, Jeffries won the seat easily. After Towns announced his retirement, Jeffries faced another African-American politician, New York City Councilman Charles Barron, in the Democratic primary for Towns’ seat. Many national politicians backed Jeffries, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee even tapped him as a fundraising “all-star,” asking him to help campaign around the country in other important congressional races. Jeffries won the primary race in a rout, getting 72% of the vote to just 28% for Barron. In the heavily Democratic district, he easily won in the fall with over 90% of the vote.

Background Democrat Jerrold Nadler, first elected in 1992, is among the House’s most outspoken liberals, with a strong civil libertarian bent. Nadler was born in Brooklyn and moved around with his family as a child. Interested in politics from a young age, Nadler campaigned for Democrat Eugene McCarthy for president while at Columbia University, where he roomed with Dick Morris, who would later become a top adviser to President Bill Clinton. In the US House, Nadler’s leftward leanings are evident in his open fondness for the New Deal. He considers the periodic vote to raise the debt ceiling a form of GOP “blackmail." As the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee’s Constitution Subcommittee, Nadler has been a counterweight to lawmakers of both parties seeking expanded police powers to crack down on terrorism.

She also blasted GOP efforts to bar funding for Planned Parenthood and prenatal care. When conservatives that year removed expanded protections for lesbians and Native Americans in a reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, Maloney called it “as chilling and callous as anything I have seen come before this Congress in modern times.” Earlier, she demanded that the Food and Drug Administration permit over-the-counter sales of morning-after birth-control pills, and she opposed separating men and women in basic training in the military.

Rep. José Serrano (D-NY-15)
Background Democrat José Serrano, who won his seat in a 1990 special election, is known for his jesting about everything from Republicans to his thick mustache. But he gets serious in going against his party when he considers it important for his district—among the country’s poorest—or his native Puerto Rico. A native of Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, he grew up in the Mill Brook project in Mott Haven. After serving in the Army, he worked at a bank and as a school administrator. Serrano moved up while other Bronx politicians fell by the wayside because of corruption. He was elected to the New York Assembly in and chaired its Education Committee.

Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY-17) Background
Democrat Nita Lowey, a close and persuasive ally of Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, is a formidable insider among House Democrats . In 2012, she became the first woman to serve as the Appropriations Committee’s ranking Democrat. Lowey was born in the Bronx, and after graduating from Mount Holyoke College with a degree in marketing, she moved to Queens, where she became a homemaker raising three children. She first got involved in politics when her neighbor, Mario Cuomo, got Lowey to help out in his campaign for lieutenant governor. He lost that race but was appointed New York secretary of state and hired Lowey as his assistant in In the House, Lowey’s voting record is liberal, although she is moderate on foreign policy. She has been a strong advocate of aid to Israel and voted for the 2002 Iraq war resolution. Her ties to Pelosi were evident when she beat out Marcy Kaptur of Ohio for the ranking Democratic slot on Appropriations, despite Kaptur’s seniority. Lowey thought about a Senate bid in 2000, but deferred to first lady Hillary Clinton. Her party loyalty and avid fundraising led to her appointment to chair the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for the 2002 election. That year, the GOP’s six-seat gain was a disappointment to Lowey, who bowed out of the chairmanship. In 2008, she was mentioned as a possible successor to Clinton, but the plum went to Democratic Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21)
Background Republican Elise Stefanik defeated Democrat Aaron Woolf in the 2014 open contest to succeed retiring Democratic Rep. Bill Owens. Not only was the race a top GOP pickup opportunity; it also elevated Stefanik -- the youngest woman ever elected to Congress -- as a rising young Republican star. Born and raised in Albany, Stefanik grew up among entrepreneurs, with both parents running a wholesale plywood business. She became politically engaged during her college years at Harvard, and upon graduating in 2006, she landed a job with the Bush administration's Domestic Policy Council. She then went on to work in the White House chief of staff's office, and later joined Tim Pawlenty's 2012 presidential campaign. After Pawlenty withdrew, she stayed involved in the 2012 contest, working for Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin after Mitt Romney named him his running mate. After Owens announced his retirement in 2013, she proclaimed her House bid and secured the backing of the National Republican Congressional Committee's "Young Guns" initiative, which supports new talent. In September, she posted a 13-point lead in a nonpartisan poll, with Green Party candidate Matt Funicello draining some support from Woolf.

Rep. Tom Reed (R-NY-23) Background
Republican Tom Reed was elected in 2010 to fill the unexpired term of Democrat Eric Massa, who resigned amid allegations of inappropriate sexual contact with his staff. Reed was born in Joliet, IL, the youngest of 12 children. Reed ran successfully in 2007 for mayor of Corning. Because there were a few weeks remaining of Massa’s term, Reed was sworn in in November for the remainder of the 111th Congress. Despite his centrist tendencies, he stuck with his party on major legislation and impressed House leaders by getting colleagues to sign a letter supporting free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea. In June 2011, Reed got a prized seat on the House Ways and Means Committee, rare for a freshman, and later that year was one of the six GOP members chosen to be a conferee in the payroll tax cut negotiations. On local issues, Reed added an amendment to the House-passed fiscal 2013 energy and water spending bill to increase money for cleanups at sites such as his district’s West Valley Demonstration Project, a former nuclear fuel reprocessing facility.

Rep. John Katko (R-NY-24) Background
Katko retired from the Justice Department in January to challenge Maffei, a former congressman who briefly lost his seat in the 2010 GOP wave and earned it back in 2012—albeit with just 49 percent of the vote (President Obama received 57 percent in the district. Katko drew substantial media attention when he noted that Maffei and his wife had their baby in a D.C. hospital, a question that the congressman said was "out of bounds." As in past campaigns, Maffei emphasized his moderate stripes and nonideological pragmatism. He also criticized Obama's handling of the Ebola situation in the United States and declared his unhappiness with the administration over its handling of the conflict in Syria. Maffei and Democrats tried to poke holes in Katko's record as a prosecutor, criticizing him for his handling of a local mayor's sex-offender case as well as for an incident involving a gun that was stolen from Katko in 2000 and used in a robbery that left two people dead. Katko complained that such campaign attacks "destroyed my character." But he overtook his opponent in polls in the race's final week and snared the endorsement of local digital paper Syracuse.com, which said Maffei's performance in office has been "steady but uninspiring.... It's time to give someone else a chance."

Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY-26)
Background Democrat Brian Higgins, elected in 2004, devotes his energies to reviving the Buffalo area’s economy, from working to get money for a new federal courthouse to securing grants to help the local wine industry. A political junkie, he launched his career in government with staff jobs in the Erie County sheriff’s office, the state Assembly and the county legislature. In 1993, after six years on the Buffalo City Council, he ran for county comptroller and lost. In 1998, he was elected to the Assembly and served three terms. In a district crowded with unionized workers, Higgins often reminded voters that his father and uncle were bricklayers and stressed his Irish immigrant heritage. A House seat unexpectedly opened up in 2004, when Republican Rep. Jack Quinn announced he was retiring. Higgins was the favorite in the primary and won with 44% of the vote. Higgins won the general election against Republican Nancy Naples 51%-49%. In the House, Higgins established a centrist voting record with a liberal bent on economic issues, helped set up a national cancer trust fund and pushed for money for Buffalo’s Roswell Park Cancer Institute. He helped to broker an agreement with the New York Power Authority for local financial aid, including waterfront improvements, in exchange for its long-term right to operate the Niagara Power Project.

Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY-27)
Background Republican Chris Collins, a self-made multimillionaire, won election to the House in 2012 by defeating Democratic Rep. Kathy Hochul in a closely contested battle. He graduated from high school in Hendersonville, N.C., then went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from North Carolina State and a master’s in business administration from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He got a job with Westinghouse in Buffalo, and when Westinghouse approached Collins about taking over its plant, he agreed. He ran the Nuttall Gear Corp. from 1983 to 1997, when he sold it. Former Rep. Bill Paxon of New York, a Republican House leader in the 1990s, persuaded Collins to get into politics. Collins lost a race in 1998, but 10 years later, in 2007, New York Republicans again tapped Collins, this time to run as Erie County executive. He ran as an independent on a platform of business know-how and won with 64% of the vote. He lost the position in 2011, when Democrats ran a challenger against him in the heavily Democratic county. Collins said his experience at the county level inspired him to head to Washington, where he said he hoped to apply his budget experience. As the 2012 election approached, Republicans were eager to unseat Hochul, and Collins jumped into the race. He beat Hochul, 51% to 49%.

Rep. George Holding (R-NC-2)
Background Republican George Holding grew up in Raleigh and attended boarding school in Massachusetts. Regan was president during his formative years, which helped Holding develop an interest in conservative ideas and worked as a summer intern for North Carolina’s iconic right-wing Republican Sen. Jesse Helms. Holding went on to attend law school at Wake Forest, where he met his wife. After graduating and working at a law firm, he returned to work for Helms as a legislative counsel, concentrating on business, tax, and tobacco issues. In 2006, President Bush nominated Holding as US attorney for eastern North Carolina where he served until his 2012 campaign for the 13th district.

Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC-3)
Background Republican Walter Jones, first elected in 1994, is one of his party’s leading iconoclasts. An evangelical Christian and devout social conservative, he has been the GOP’s most fervently antiwar House member. Jones grew up in eastern North Carolina, and served in the National Guard. In the House, Jones’ voting record began consistently conservative and hawkish, but over the years has moderated. He had a remarkable conversion on the issue of the war in Iraq. Jones voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq in 2002, as did all but six House Republicans. When his party assumed the House majority in 2011, Jones was the chamber’s most liberal Republican that year, according to National Journal’s rankings (he was third most liberal in 2012). He refused to support John Boehner for House speaker in January 2013, casting his vote for former Comptroller General David Walker, a deficit hawk. He was the only Republican to vote against a fiscal 2011 bill making billions of dollars in spending cuts. In December 2010, he was one of just three Republicans to support a Democratic bill extending the Bush- era tax cuts for low- and middle-income Americans but not for the wealthy. After the Supreme Court’s controversial Citizens United decision on campaign finance, Jones co-sponsored an Obama White House-backed bill aimed at restricting companies’ ability to air campaign ads. He later opposed the bill because of the exemptions granted to the NRA and others.

Rep. David Price (D-NC-4)
Background Democrat David Price was first elected in 1986, lost the seat in 1994, and regained it in Since his return, he has distinguished himself as a thoughtful voice on anti-terrorism and border security in addition to education and science issues. Price grew up in East Tennessee, the son of a school principal and an English teacher. He is an interesting blend of political scientist, practical politician, and lay Baptist preacher. He came to Chapel Hill to go to college, worked as a young aide on Capitol Hill, earned a degree in divinity and a doctorate in political science at Yale University, and taught there for four years. In 1973, he took a job as a political science professor at Duke. He was executive director of the North Carolina Democratic Party in the 1980 election season and chairman in In 1986, he ran for the House and beat Republican freshman Rep. Bill Cobey. In the House, Price’s voting record typically placed him near the center of House Democrats, but he has moved sharply leftward in recent years. His Education Affordability Act, which he worked on for a dozen years and considers his proudest achievement, was folded into the 1997 Balanced Budget Act and became law.

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC-5)
Background Republican Virginia Foxx, first elected in 2004, is one of Congress’ most vocal conservatives and earned a position in the leadership ranks by becoming House Republican Conference secretary in Foxx grew up in the hardscrabble hollows of Western North Carolina. She graduated from UNC and had a diverse professional and political background before winning election to Congress at age 61.

Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC-6)
Background Republican Mark Walker, an ordained minister running as a Washington outsider, easily defeated Democrat Laura Fjeld in to succeed retiring GOP Rep. Howard Coble. Walker has cited Ronald Reagan as a chief inspiration, especially on foreign policy, and framed his campaign in religious terms. Most of Walker's professional career has been serving churches in the region, most recently at Lawndale Baptist Church. But he also devoted time to helping local and state Republicans on campaigns as well as engaging in civic affairs in Greensboro. Walker’s 2014 race was unusual in that he aimed to get the edge on the ground rather than seek support of national Tea Party groups, and he openly pledged to decline PAC money.

Rep. David Rouzer (R-NC-7)
Background With his election in 2014, David Rouzer became the first Republican to represent southeastern North Carolina since the late 19th century. He bested Democrat Jonathan Barfield Jr., a New Hanover County commissioner, and Libertarian J. Wesley Casteen. He came tantalizingly close to winning the 7th District in 2012, losing by fewer than 700 votes. Rouzer was born in Landstuhl, Germany, and raised in Durham, North Carolina. He attended North Carolina State University's College of Agriculture, where he received his bachelor's degree in three majors: agricultural business management, agricultural economics, and chemistry. He has spent much of his career working in Washington as an aide to two of the state's Republican senators, Jesse Helms and Elizabeth Dole; as a Bush administration appointee in the Agriculture Department; and as a lobbyist for tobacco companies. In the general election, Rouzer campaigned as a brash, unabashed conservative. As in his 2012 run Rouzer argued for a strong military, less regulation, and a simplified tax code, preferably a flat tax. Both Rouzer and Barfield said they supported the airstrikes on Syria, but Barfield said he did not want to see US boots on the ground. Rouzer left the door open for broader military action.

Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC-8)
Background Republican Richard Hudson, a veteran congressional staffer, captured the 8th District seat in 2012 by knocking off Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell, who had ousted Hudson’s former boss, Rep. Robin Hayes, in Hudson grew up in the Charlotte area, helping his grandfather campaign in the northeastern part of the state for the Roanoke Rapids City Council, where he served for 30 years. After college, Hudson continued to work behind-the-scenes in politics. In Washington, he served as chief of staff to GOP Reps. Mike Conaway and John Carter of Texas and Virginia Foxx of North Carolina. Republicans made Kissell’s seat a top 2012 takeover target after the favorable work of GOP map-makers. Although Hayes passed on a bid, the race drew four other Republican candidates in addition to Hudson. Hudson captured first place on the primary ballot with 32%, setting up a runoff with former Iredell County Commissioner Scott Keadle. When Keadle tried to portray Hudson as a Washington insider out of touch with the needs of the district, Hudson maintained that his experience on Capitol Hill created connections that would allow him to be more effective than most freshmen. He also got endorsements from former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum. Hudson cruised to a runoff win, 64% to 36%.

Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC-10)
Background Patrick McHenry, a Republican first elected in 2004, has evolved from a highly partisan warrior in his early years into a more thoughtful legislator. That evolution was confirmed in June 2014, when new Majority Whip Steve Scalise tapped McHenry to be chief deputy whip. At age 29, McHenry was the youngest member of the House when he arrived. Instead of keeping a low profile and doing constituent work to sew up his seat, as freshman usually do, he made repeat appearances on talk shows for his ability to serve up red meat and sound bites. On the House floor, he took on Democrats no matter how powerful or senior. When Republicans took majority control of the House in January 2011, McHenry became chairman of a new subcommittee specializing in government bailouts. On the Financial Services Committee, he won enactment of his bill allowing financial institutions involved in multiple transactions to combine them into one contract. In 2012, McHenry was named one of Time magazine's "40 Under 40" civic leaders who is "at work trying to fix a broken system" and restore public faith in government. McHenry’s lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union through 2012 was 98%, the highest of any North Carolinian.

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC-11)
Background Businessman and longtime Republican activist Mark Meadows took back this seat for his party in Western North Carolina’s 11th District by beating Democratic Rep. Heath Shuler’s former chief of staff, Hayden Rogers, in Meadows was born in the 42nd Army Field Hospital in Verdun, France, while his father was stationed abroad. His father was a draftsman; his mother, a surgical nurse. He attended high school in the Tampa, Fla., area, where he met his wife, Debbie, and went on to get a degree in business management from the University of South Florida. After college, he went to work for Tampa Electric, but he and his wife dreamed of living in North Carolina. A self-described history buff, Meadows says that his observations of history and experiences as a businessman drew him to conservative politics. He was the only person who showed up for a precinct meeting of the local Republican Party, thus becoming precinct chair and eventually county chair. He has worked on behalf of GOP candidates for 25 years and was a delegate to state and national Republican conventions. He is the current chair of the influential Freedom Caucus.

Rep. Alma Adams (D-NC-12) Background
Adams arrived in Washington as a rarity: a lawmaker with a fine-arts background. She holds a doctorate in arts education from Ohio State University, and until 2012, she taught art at Bennett College, a historically black women's college. Democrat Alma Adams easily defeated Republican Vince Coakley in North Carolina's 12th District to take the seat vacated by Rep. Mel Watt, a Democrat appointed to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency in January The departure of Watt, who had represented the region since 1993, set off a scramble to fill the seat. Seven Democrats jumped into the race, but Adams was in an especially strong position when it came to money, endorsements, and name recognition. In a heavily Democratic district that is split evenly between white and black voters, the candidates' messaging skewed left, and they largely agreed on the core issues: supporting the Affordable Care Act, opposing the decision of GOP Gov. Pat McCrory to block Medicaid expansion, and taking aim at Republican efforts to curtail early voting. Like Florida Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson, Adams is known for her hats; she estimated that she has 900 of them. "It's a part of my wardrobe," she told NPR, "I started wearing hats because I was sick a lot. And I remember my grandmother telling me, 'Cover your noggin; you'll stay healthy.'''

Rep. Theodore Budd (R-NC-13)
Background Ted Budd was born on October 21, 1971 and raised on a cattle and commercial chicken farm in Davie County, North Carolina. Prior to being elected to Congress, Budd worked for his family’s facility-services business, The Budd Group, and was the owner of ProShots, a shooting-sports retail store, training center and indoor range. Budd met his wife, Amy Kate Budd, while on a mission trip to the former Soviet Union. In February 2016, redistricting in North Carolina changed the constituency of the state’s 13th district. Consequently, incumbent George Holding (R) decided to run for re-election in the North Carolina’s 2nd district, thus opening the door for Budd to run without facing a powerful incumbent. Billing himself as a political outsider, Budd won a crowded 16-contender primary for North Carolina’s 13th district, garnering less than 40% of the vote.

Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH-1)
Background Republican Steve Chabot first came to the House as part of the historic GOP Class of 1994 and served 14 years before losing his seat to Democrat Steve Driehaus. He got it back by beating Driehaus in 2010, and he reclaimed his status as one of the chamber’s most conservative members. In 1994, he was among the conservative Republicans who successfully ran for Congress and ended 40 years of Democratic control of the House. In his 14 years on Capitol Hill, Chabot took principled and politically risky stands opposing federal spending on projects in his district and was a leader on social issues, particularly opposition to abortion rights. In 2003, he helped enact a ban on “partial-birth” abortions, and he also pushed a bill to prevent minors from crossing state lines to get abortions. Chabot was a House manager during the 1998 impeachment of President Bill Clinton. In retrospect, Chabot said, he is most proud of his work in fighting wasteful spending. Chabot lost his seat in 2008, when Driehaus defeated him by 5 percentage points. In the 2010 campaign, Driehaus had trouble generating much voter excitement for his reelection and Chabot won, 52% to 46%. Ohio Republicans, in post-2010 census redistricting, made the 1st District substantially more Republican. “Unless Steve Chabot commits a felony, he will be there for as long as he wants to be,” Hamilton County Democratic Party Chairman Tim Burke lamented to The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH-2)
Background A foot surgeon and Iraq War veteran, Republican Brad Wenstrup scored an upset over GOP 2nd District Rep. Jean Schmidt in a March 2012 primary, taking advantage of anti-incumbent sentiment in the heavily Republican district. He went on to win the seat easily in the fall. Wenstrup was born and raised in Cincinnati. His father is an optician, and his mother still works part-time at a Stein Mart department store. As early as second grade, he had given thought to a career in medicine as well as serving in the military. I knew at an early age I wanted to be a doctor, but the idea of serving (in the military) never really left my mind,” Wenstrup recalled in an interview with National Journal. Wenstrup opened his practice in 1986, and it was incorporated into Wellington Orthopedic & Sports Medicine in He joined the Army Reserve in 1998 and became a combat surgeon in Iraq in 2005 and “I tell people, it’s the worst thing I ever had to do, but the best thing I ever got to do,” he said.

Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH-3)
Background Democrat Joyce Beatty’s election to the House in 2012 gave Ohio its first two African-American members of Congress serving together. The other is Cleveland Democrat Marcia Fudge. Beatty is the daughter of a brick mason and stay-at-home mom. Her parents moved from the inner-city to a predominately white neighborhood with better schools when Beatty was young, and she and her family were the only blacks on their street in Dayton. Beatty’s parents constantly stressed the importance of civil rights for women and African-Americans, and her interest in politics was fueled by hearing Jesse Jackson speak at the Democratic National Convention. When she entered the race for the newly drawn 3rd District encompassing much of Columbus, Beatty cited her knowledge of how to “make a payroll” and her ability to work with businesses and labor unions to bring jobs to central Ohio. She made education a central focus of her campaign, drawing on her background to call for making college more affordable and bringing public-private partnerships to the area to work on job training initiatives with community colleges and training centers. Instead of traditional town hall-style meetings, Beatty held what she called “listening tours,” bringing in “everyday folks,” such as small-business owners and educators, to speak to voters. Beatty defeated Republican John Adams in both the 2014 and 2016 Ohio general election.

During his time in the legislature, Jordan compiled a solidly conservative voting record, sponsoring legislation creating Ohio’s “Choose Life” license plates, backing a ban on same-sex marriage, and supporting government vouchers for private school tuition. In the US House, Jordan established an unfailingly conservative voting record, with a 100% lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union through With his right-wing bona fides well established, Jordan succeeded Georgia’s Tom Price as head of the 170-member Republican Study Committee when Price won a GOP leadership post in late Under Jordan’s guidance, the RSC in early 2011 unveiled a budget plan that called for cutting spending by a whopping $2.5 trillion over 10 years.

Mullin admitted he had not performed a background check on Saylor, who had worked for a company that Mullin bought, and that he had shot guns with him. Mullin also faced questions about whether he had illegally purchased a gun for Saylor, which he denied. In addition, Democrats alleged that Mullin omitted his association with the jujitsu center from a personal financial disclosure in 2012.

Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK-3)
Background Republican Frank Lucas, a farmer, won his seat in a 1994 special election. As chairman of the Agriculture Committee until 2015, he sought to unite deal-oriented lawmakers from farm states and budget-conscious conservatives. Lucas’ family roots in western Oklahoma extend more than 100 years; he owns a 480-acre farm and cattle ranch in Roger Mills County. He studied agricultural economics at Oklahoma State University. He was elected to the Oklahoma House in 1988 at age 28 after losing two races. Since then, he has been reelected by wide margins.

His main focus is the pragmatic work of the Agriculture Committee, where he became the ranking Republican in the 111th Congress ( ) and rose to chairman in 2011 when Republicans took majority control of the House. He found himself leading a committee full of freshmen and new members who did not share his bipartisan leanings.

He remains a proponent of government support for alternative fuels, particularly switchgrass. On the Financial Services Committee, Lucas has been a reliable supporter of the banking and insurance industries.

Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR-1)
Background Suzanne Bonamici, a Democrat who succeeded scandal-plagued Rep. David Wu, represents Oregon’s 1st District. Wu stepped down amid charges alleging that he made sexual advances to a friend’s teenage daughter. In the general election, Bonamici again faced Rob Cornilles, a sports business consultant and Wu’s Republican opponent in Cornilles played up his business experience and also kept his distance from the national GOP. He praised the Democrats in the Oregon delegation, touted his endorsements from Democratic mayors, and refused to take the no-new-taxes pledge that many Republicans in Congress had taken. Bonamici emphasized the need to tax the wealthiest Americans and to end corporate tax breaks in order to fund education and infrastructure projects. In the House, Bonamici has a solidly liberal voting record. According to National Journal’s 2012 vote ratings, she was the most reliable Democratic vote in the Oregon delegation. She pushed a bill to crack down on online payday loans, arguing that predatory lending practices are driving up consumer debt. Bonamici has also opposed cuts to the social safety net.

Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR-2)
Background Greg Walden, elected in 1998, has emerged as one of the Republican Party's most highly-regarded inside strategists. Walden grew up on an 80-acre cherry orchard; his father ran radio stations that had been in the family since the 1930s and also served in the state House. Walden followed his father into both pursuits. Then, he got involved in politics as the press secretary and chief of staff for Republican Rep. Denny Smith from 1981 to In 1988, he was elected to the state House, eventually becoming majority leader. In the House, he is a conservative on fiscal issues but more of a moderate on cultural issues. Walden has been an active legislator who caught the eye of Republican leaders with his political knowledge, knack for forming friendships, and devotion to the party agenda. In 2011, The Oregonian newspaper wrote that Walden is known for being “reliable, self-deprecating, and largely without ego.” When Republicans reclaimed the House majority, Walden helped steer his party’s transition to power, handling issues ranging from rules changes governing debate to finding ways to save money on House operations. As chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, he was at the forefront of a successful GOP effort to expand its majority in 2014, and served a second term in the more challenging election environment of 2016.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR-3)
Background Democrat Earl Blumenauer, who won a special election in May 1996, is best known for his role as Congress’ point person on “smart growth” planning strategies that combat urban sprawl and promote alternatives to driving. He is also known for his distinctive bow ties. In the House, Blumenauer was the most liberal member of the Oregon delegation until 2013, when his new colleague Suzanne Bonamici edged him out after winning election in He and Colorado’s Jared Polis were lead sponsors of the February 2013 bill allowing states to legalize medical marijuana and to regulate it in a manner similar to alcohol. Blumenauer rides his bicycle everywhere he travels around Washington. He formed a Congressional Bike Caucus that boasts more than 170 members. Blumenauer was astonished to find that the House subsidized parking for employees, but not mass transit; now, employees can get subsidized transit fares. The sometimes nerdy policy wonk has developed an audience for his gospel of livability and civic values. On economic issues, he has actively promoted trade across the Pacific. Blumenauer chairs the Congressional Public Broadcasting Caucus and was an outspoken critic of a Republican proposal to strike funding for National Public Radio in In his Democratic bastion, he has never drawn less than 67 percent of the vote since and has not faced a serious primary challenge.

Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR-4)
Background Peter DeFazio, a Democrat first elected in 1986, is a persistent—and sometimes petulant—populist who doesn’t mind showing his independence from his party or loudly criticizing the conservative ideas he disdains. Oregon’s longest-serving House member, he became the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee's top Democrat in DeFazio grew up in Massachusetts, came to Oregon for graduate school, was a bike mechanic, and went to work for 4th District Rep. Jim Weaver, a Democrat. In 1982, DeFazio moved to Springfield and won a seat on the county commission. When Weaver retired in 1986, DeFazio won his House seat in a tight race. DeFazio has compiled a record that seems to satisfy both Eugene and the rest of the district: he’s liberal on most issues, yet moderate on social issues. An original founder of the loose-knit Progressive Caucus, he has not been shy to express his anger that millions of working Americans suffered during the boom years before He opposed NAFTA and later was a leader in the fight to defeat normal trade relations with China. DeFazio is known for sarcasm and his tendency to yell during debates.

Schrader launched himself into public service as a member of the Canby Planning Commission. In 1997, he won a seat in the state House, and six years later, was elected to the state Senate. He developed a reputation as a conservative Democrat and opposed his party on increasing the minimum wage. In the House, Schrader has backed his party on most significant measures but also shown a willingness to go his own way. In 2013, he became the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Coalition’s co-chair for communications and outreach. He originally cosponsored the DREAM Act for children of illegal immigrants but later voted against it, not because it went too far but because he wanted to see a more comprehensive immigration-reform solution.

Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA-2)
Background Democrat Brendan Boyle cruised to victory in 2014, defeating Republican Dee Adcock to take over the seat held by retiring Democratic Rep. Allyson Schwartz. Boyle is one of the youngest members of Congress, but he emphasized old-school populism in his race. Raised by working-class parents, he was the first in his family to go to college, and his interest in public policy eventually led him to pursue a master's degree at Harvard. In 2008, he won a seat in Pennsylvania's House. Boyle's chance at a US House run opened up when Schwartz announced she would compete in the Democratic primary for governor. With Boyle financially outgunned—especially by rival Valerie Arkoosh, a well-funded doctor—he hit the pavement. He held a total of 225 voter events and played up his roots, noting that his father was a public-transit maintenance worker and his mother a school crossing guard. Boyle generally tried to stay above the fray while his rivals sometimes took a more negative approach. In the end, Boyle scored an easy primary win in May, besting runner-up Margolies, 41 percent to 27 percent. Her ties to the Clintons were not enough to overcome what many saw as a weak and disorganized campaign. And once the primary results were in, Boyle's path in the general election proved easy, given the strong Democratic lean of the district.

Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-PA-8)
Background Scranton lawyer and political newcomer Matt Cartwright toppled Rep. Tim Holden in the 2012 Democratic primary by running to the left of Holden in a redrawn district that contained significant new territory for the incumbent. He started at Temple University’s law school before transferring to earn his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. “I wanted to make something of myself, and I knew I was lousy at math,” he said of his decision to pursue law.

Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA-10)
Background Republican Scott Perry claimed the 4th District House seat in 2012 after prevailing in a crowded primary, although he was the underdog. He is considerably more conservative than his predecessor, retiring moderate Republican Rep. Todd Platts, and ran on a message of a leaner federal government, gun rights, and traditional marriage. Perry was born in San Diego, Calif., but moved at age 7 to central Pennsylvania. After graduating from high school, Perry worked as an auto mechanic before enlisting in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. He distinguished himself as a helicopter pilot, eventually rising to the rank of colonel. While serving as state representative, he was called to serve for a year in Iraq in 2009, flying 44 missions. When he launched his bid for Congress, Perry’s past legal troubles became an issue in the seven-person Republican primary field, but it never got traction. He garnered endorsements from Corbett and from GOP Sen. Pat Toomey. Perry’s win was attributed to his military background, which resonated in the district, and his higher-than-average profile in Harrisburg, according to the PoliticsPA website. He had no trouble in November against Democrat Harry Perkinson, an engineer, who struggled against the strong Republican tilt of the district. Perry won, 60% to 34%.

Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN-3)
Background Republican Charles (Chuck) Fleischmann was elected in 2010 to succeed GOP Rep. Zach Wamp, who ran unsuccessfully for governor. Fleischmann is more of a team player than the independent-minded Wamp and was rewarded in 2013 with a seat on the Appropriations Committee. When Wamp announced he would leave Congress to run for governor in 2010, Fleischmann decided to run, saying he was “very, very upset with the way things were going in Washington, D.C.” In the House, Fleischmann has been a dependable GOP vote; he was the chamber's 18th most conservative member in 2013, according to National Journal rankings. He is capable of serving up red-meat rhetoric; asked at a 2012 debate for his views on climate change, he responded: “I think we ought to take Al Gore, put him on an iceberg, and put him way out there.” He joined fellow Tennessee freshman Republican Scott DesJarlais in opposing an Energy Department plan to consolidate management of Oak Ridge’s Y-12 weapons plant with the one at the Pantex facility in Texas, and he stressed the need for money to replace Chickamauga’s deteriorating 75-year-old river lock by overhauling the project’s funding mechanism, the Inland Waterway Trust Fund. His position on Appropriations, especially its Energy and Water Development Subcommittee, gives him a critical voice on those local needs.

In recent years, Cooper has focused on being a leader of the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Coalition and a consensus-builder within the national Democratic Party. New York Times columnist Joe Nocera, in a 2011 column titled “The Last Moderate,” praised Cooper as “the House’s conscience, a lonely voice for civility in this ugly era.” He has introduced numerous measures with GOP support. A longtime proponent of increased government oversight, his bill to strengthen the independence of federal inspectors passed Congress and, despite a veto threat from President George W. Bush, became law in During the health care debate, Cooper was among the Blue Dogs who worked with Waxman, the Energy and Commerce chairman, to moderate some provisions that conservative Democrats considered government overreach.

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN-9)
Background Democrat Steve Cohen, elected in 2006, is one of the few white members of Congress representing a majority-minority district. He has easily fended off primary challenges from the district’s African-American majority by maintaining one of the House’s most liberal voting records and concentrating on issues of strong interest to his constituents. He was elected to the Shelby County Commission and, in 1982, to a Memphis-based state Senate seat, where he served for the next 24 years. Cohen wanted to run for Congress in 1996 when 22-year veteran African-American Rep. Harold Ford, Sr., announced his retirement, but he found his path blocked by the incumbent’s 26-year-old son, who secured the seat. He got a second chance in 2006 when Ford, Jr., ran unsuccessfully for the Senate. As the only serious white contender among the 15 candidates who filed to run, Cohen faced considerable criticism from local black leaders, who publicly asserted that an African-American should represent the district. Upon his election, Cohen won a plum seat on the Judiciary Committee, where he has worked on bills to force radio broadcasters to pay money to performers whose music is played and on studying racial disparities in the criminal justice system. On the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Cohen opposed a bill that could have exposed FedEx to worker strikes.

Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX-4)
Background Republican John Ratcliffe chalked up an easy win in 2014, running unopposed in the general election. But his primary race drew national attention: he ousted 91-year-old incumbent Ralph Hall, the oldest member of Congress, who was seeking his 18th term. Hall's defeat meant the 114th Congress was the first without a World War II veteran. Ratcliffe grew up as the youngest of six children and earned a scholarship to Notre Dame, where he graduated in three years. He has served as a US attorney and as partner at a law firm run by former Attorney General John Ashcroft. He also was mayor for two terms in the town of Heath. He has cited his background in law enforcement—particularly in matters of illegal immigration and homeland security—as one of his main motivations to seek higher office. Leading up to the primary, Ratcliffe sought to touch upon the issue of Hall's age without offending seniors, who make up more than 15 percent of the district's electorate. In terms of substance, little distinguished the two. Hall had one of the most conservative voting records in Congress. A bigger difference lay in their tactics; Ratcliffe pursued a data-driven approach, while Hall favored old-school stumping. During his campaign, he spoke out against raising the debt ceiling and suggested that House Speaker John Boehner should resign. However, he subsequently supported Boehner for speaker.

Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX-8)

Brady grew up and went to college in South Dakota, and moved to Montgomery County, Texas in In 1990, he was elected to the Texas House and five years later won a U.S House seat. Though he has a conservative voting record, Brady has gained a reputation as more of a pragmatist than other Texas conservatives. After taking over the Ways & Means health subcommittee in 2013, his agenda included repealing parts of the Affordable Care Act, such as a tax on medical devices and an advisory panel that critics say usurps Congress’s responsibilities. He previously led that panel’s trade subcommittee and has adamantly fought for more free trade agreements, which he contends are essential to the US economic recovery. Concerned about the Federal Reserve’s repeated lowering of interest rates, he has called for reforming the agency and appointing a bipartisan commission to study its operations.

Background Republican Rep. Kay Granger was born on January 18, 1943 in Greenville, Texas. She in Fort Worth, graduated from Texas Wesleyan College, and worked as a teacher in North Richland Hills, where she raised three children and started her own insurance agency. In 1989, she was elected to the Fort Worth Council, and two years later, was elected as mayor. In 1995, when Rep. Pete Geren, a conservative Democrat who succeeded Wright, announced he would not seek reelection, both Republican and Democratic leaders tried to recruit Granger. She decided to run as a Republican, winning the general election against Democrat Hugh Parmer 58%-41%. In the House, Granger’s voting record has tended to be moderate on cultural issues and more conservative on economic issues. In 2012, however, she was the least conservative Republican in Texas’ House delegation on fiscal matters. With a seat on Appropriations, Granger keeps a close eye on local Pentagon spending. She has worked to maintain production of Lockheed Martin planes that are produced in her district. In 2011, she became chairman of the State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee, where her experience with military spending and her interest in human rights are useful.

Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX-14)
Background For the first 58 years of his life, Weber lived within a five-mile radius in his hometown of Pearland, Texas. His father owned a gas station and later ran an RV business. After high school, Weber enrolled in Alvin Junior College, where by his own admission he was a subpar student until he became a born-again Christian. Soon after becoming a father for the first time, Weber began taking night classes at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. Balancing work at his father’s RV business with caring for a new baby and going to school, he recalls, required waking up at 4 a.m. to study and keeping the baby on Wednesdays while his wife went to school to earn a teaching degree. After graduating from college, Weber was keen to branch out. In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan’s message of limited government inspired Weber to get politically involved. He became an active party volunteer, as well as a precinct judge and election official. From 1990 to 1996, he served on the Pearland City Council and later ran for the Texas House, where he worked on issues ranging from veterans affairs to domestic human trafficking. In his congressional race, Weber emerged from a field of more than a half-dozen credible GOP contenders, securing endorsements from Texas Gov.

Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX-15)
Background Vicente Gonzalez was born to a military family in Corpus Christi, Texas. His mother stressed the importance of education, which motivated Gonzalez to go back to school and get his GED. Afterwards, Gonzalez attended community college classes and eventually earned his B.A. at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University at Corpus Christi Naval Air Station. Soon after receiving his B.A., Gonzalez continued to heed his mother’s advice, pursuing a law degree at Texas A&M.

The firm focuses on business litigation, catastrophic accidents and property damage. Gonzalez has taken on several major cases including helping South Texas school districts recover millions of dollars from contractors who misspent bond money. Gonzalez announced his candidacy for Texas’s 15th congressional district in November 2015 after Rep. Rubén Hinojosa (D) announced he was retiring. Gonzalez faced off against Edinburg School Board Member Juan "Sonny" Palacios, Jr in the Democratic primary. Gonzalez largely self-financed his campaign so he would not have to accept corporate contributions. Even though his campaign was self-financed, he outspent his rival substantially. He won the Democratic primary and went on to defeat Tim Westley in the general election.

Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX-22) Background
Pete Olson, a Republican elected in 2008, represents the district once overseen by Tom DeLay, the powerful former House majority leader. Olson is every bit as conservative as DeLay and just as vigilant in advocating on behalf of Texas’ oil and space interests. He led a congressional effort in February 2013 calling for the Government Accountability Office to release a study on the use of federal funding by Planned Parenthood and other health organizations that perform abortions. He got a plum seat on the Energy and Commerce Committee in 2011 and joined fellow Texas Republican Joe Barton on the panel as a staunch defender of their state’s oil and gas industry. The House passed his bill in August 2012 allowing power companies off the hook if they violate environmental laws while attempting to comply with federal mandates to maintain the reliability of their electricity grids during power emergencies. The Senate did not take it up. Olson was among lawmakers in February who accused the Interior Department of being too slow to approve new drilling permits and later was an outspoken advocate of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, which is designed to carry Canadian oil to Texas refineries.

Representative Will Hurd is a native of San Antonio and the youngest of three children of a mixed-race couple; his father is African-American. He graduated from Texas A&M University in 2000 with a degree in computer science, a minor in international relations, and some acclaim as student body president for having helped a grieving campus recover from the collapse of the traditional football bonfire which killed 12 students and injured 27 others. He moved to Washington, D.C., to work as a CIA officer and was soon stationed in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. He left the agency in 2009 and returned to Texas. He was a partner in the strategic advisory firm Crumpton Group. During the 2014 election cycle, Hurd decided to run for Texas’s 23rd Congressional seat. Tea Party supporters backed Hurd's campaign that emphasized his intelligence service "in this time of heartbreak and troubles throughout the world." And while Gallego portrayed himself as a moderate Blue Dog Democrat, Hurd criticized him as too aligned with President Obama and "radical environmentalists." The race remained tight to the end, with the party congressional campaign committees pouring hundreds of thousands into the campaign and outside groups spending millions on ads. The race was tight but Hurd won by 2,500 votes. In a 2016 rematch, Hurd won, 48.3%-47.0%, a margin of 3,000 votes.

Rep. Kenny Marchant (R-TX-24)
Background Republican Kenny Marchant, elected in 2004, is seated on the Ways and Means Committee, a reward for his loyalty to the GOP agenda. Mild-mannered and deeply religious, Marchant had been chairman and floor leader of the Texas House Republican caucus and served on the House Redistricting Committee during the bitter 2003 redistricting battle. Unsurprisingly, the redistricting plan couldn’t have been more favorable to him. In the House, Marchant has a solidly conservative voting record. He was among the original members of the Tea Party Caucus and a co-sponsor of the so-called “birther” bill in 2009 requiring future presidential candidates to prove US citizenship. Marchant in 2011 sponsored a bill to prevent the federal government from subsidizing illegal immigrants’ housing purchases by requiring borrowers to submit to the E-Verify background check program. He joined 50 Texas state lawmakers in February 2013 in calling for the Boy Scouts to keep in place its ban on gay scouts and leaders. Marchant has had no trouble winning reelection. He drew a spirited GOP primary challenger in 2012 in Grant Stinchfield, a former TV news investigative reporter. The incumbent won 68%-32% and coasted with 61% in the general election.

Background Republican Roger Williams, a former Texas secretary of state and prolific fundraiser, easily won a wide-open GOP primary in to take the district that had become reliably Republican in redistricting. He has quietly gone about his work, which includes a seat on the Financial Services Committee. Williams grew up in Fort Worth, where his father was a Chevrolet dealer and his mother ran a needlepoint business. He attended Texas Christian University on a baseball scholarship. After graduating in 1971, he played with the Atlanta Braves farm team for four years until he injured a shoulder. He returned home to run the family car dealership and to TCU, where he coached baseball for three years. It was a shared love for baseball that connected Williams and George W. Bush. A former owner of the Texas Rangers, Bush invited Williams to be a state finance chairman for his 1994 and 1998 campaigns for governor, which was Williams’ first foray into politics. He made his way to Washington in 2000, when President Bush appointed him to the Republican National Committee’s Eagles program. He left that position to accept Gov. Rick Perry’s appointment as secretary of state.

Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX-26)
Background Michael Burgess, a conservative Republican physician first elected in 2002, is a spokesman for House Republicans on health care issues.

He joined the Tea Party Caucus when it formed in Also that year, he voted “present” on a resolution commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Vietnam-era shootings at Kent State University because he said the measure implied that the National Guard was at fault. He has for several years pushed legislation to implement a flat tax, a popular idea with conservatives that would replace the federal income tax with a 23% sales tax on goods and services. He drew headlines in August 2011 when, while attending a Tea Party meeting, he responded to a question about whether impeaching President Barack Obama would tie up Obama’s agenda by saying there was “no question” that it would. When a Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter asked later about the comment, he said: “We need to tie things up. The longer we allow the damage to continue unchecked, the worse things are going to be for us.” But he said later that he didn’t advocate impeachment.

He graduated from Georgetown University and the University of Texas law school, and he later got a Ph.D. in government from UT. From his base in Laredo, he served in the Texas House from 1986 to 2000, where he helped to author the Texas Grant college aid program. In 2001, Republican Gov. Rick Perry appointed him secretary of state even though he is a Democrat. Cuellar resigned in 2002 to run against veteran Republican Rep. Henry Bonilla in the old 23rd District. He got a big boost from a Bonilla gaffe; Bonilla claimed he didn’t need Laredo to win, and in response, the Webb County Republican chairman endorsed Cuellar. In the House, Cuellar was the ninth most conservative Democrat in 2012, according to National Journal’s annual rankings.

Rep. Marc Veasey (D-TX-33)
Background Democrat Marc Veasey won a hard-fought primary in 2012 to claim the seat in the newly created 33rd District, which Texas gained in the 2010 reapportionment. The win gave him a lock on the general election in the solidly Democratic district. He has credited his involvement in politics to his uncle, who worked for Fort Worth’s Jim Wright, the Democratic speaker of the House from 1987 to His main competition in the decisive primary for the House seat was Dallas attorney Domingo Garcia. In the initial balloting, Veasey bested Garcia, 37% to 25%, but not by enough to avoid a runoff. In the runoff campaign, Veasey targeted regular Democratic Party voters on his home turf and black voters and Hispanics in Dallas County. Veasey won the runoff 53% to 47% and was careful to sound a conciliatory note in his acceptance speech, noting that the election was, "about making sure North Texans were represented fairly and honestly,” according to The Dallas Morning News. In the fall of 2012, Veasey had little trouble defeating Republican Chuck Bradley, 73% to 26%. Before running for the 33rd District, Veasey served in the Texas house since 2005, where he spent much of his time dealing with banking and pension issues and on an environmental regulations committee.

Rep. Filemon Vela (D-TX-34)
Background Democrat Filemon Vela won the 34th District House seat in part on the strength of his illustrious political family. Brownsville’s federal courthouse bears the name of his late father, a US district judge for more than two decades, and his mother who was the city’s first elected woman mayor. Vela was born in Harlingen, at the southern tip of Texas, and raised in nearby Brownsville. After receiving a bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University and a law degree from the University of Texas, he returned to Brownsville to practice law. As a civil attorney, Vela represented school districts seeking restitution for shoddy construction by independent contractors. He was a civil attorney for 25 years. When Vela launched his campaign, some political observers were surprised by the “D” next to his name. His wife is a Republican justice on the Texas Court of Appeals, and Vela acknowledged that he has at times backed GOP office-seekers. But he aligned himself with the Democratic agenda, calling for “a realistic and fair way” to deal with illegal immigration, protection of Medicare and Social Security benefits, and tax cuts for small businesses as an incentive to hire workers. Vela is considered a moderate left of center voter within the Democratic party and was reelected easily in 2016.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX-35)
Background Liberal Democrat Lloyd Doggett, first elected in 1994, is a respected voice in his party on tax and environmental issues. His political views and pugnaciousness have made him a target of Texas’ GOP-led redistricting, but he has eluded efforts to draw him out of a seat. Doggett grew up in Austin, finished first in his class at the University of Texas in He was elected to the state Senate in 1972 and elected to the Texas Supreme Court in When Democratic US Rep. Jake Pickle retired, Doggett ran for his seat. Doggett’s voting record puts him among the most-liberal Texans. He is at times highly partisan. When Democrats controlled the House between 2007 and 2010, Doggett was active and often influential on the Ways and Means Committee. His priorities included eliminating tax shelters and loopholes and giving the federal government power to negotiate prescription drug prices for Medicare. He also sought tax incentives for purchasers of plug-in hybrid electric cars. In May 2009, when President Barack Obama announced his plan to reform international tax policy, he cited Doggett’s input on proposals to crack down on overseas tax evasion. Doggett also pressed the president’s Simpson-Bowles fiscal commission to scrutinize the more than $1 trillion a year that the Internal Revenue Service provides in the form of reduced taxes or refunds to companies and individuals.

Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX-36)
Background Brian Babin, a dentist and local GOP leader, decisively beat Democrat Michael Cole in 2014, taking over the seat held by retiring GOP conservative firebrand Rep. Steve Stockman. Babin succeeded in his third run for Congress by outmuscling tea- party favorite Ben Streusand in the primary. He entered local politics by serving as an alderman and mayor in Woodville. Babin got his chance to seek larger office due to redistricting. The 36th has skewed toward the GOP over the last decade, most recently sending Stockman -- one of the most outspokenly conservative Republicans to serve in recent years -- to Congress. When Stockman announced that he would give up his House seat to challenge Republican Sen. John Cornyn, Babin seized on the chance to convert his decades of local political activism into a viable congressional run. His general election victory was largely a formality. On his first day in office, Babin voted "present" rather than support John Boehner for House speaker. He was the only member in the chamber not to case a "yes" or "no" vote. Babin has worked with the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology and Transportation and Infrastructure Committees since he was sworn in. Prior to serving, Babin attended Lamar University and obtained his degree to practice dentistry at the University of Texas at Houston.

He is known for a sarcastic wit that he employs in blasting Democrats, and took over as chairman of the Natural Resources Committee in On Natural Resources, Bishop showed little early inclination to compromise with Democrats. Soon after taking over as chairman, he included in a border- security bill a provision to exempt border immigration enforcement activities from some environmental laws within 100 miles of US borders, a move that critics called a thinly disguised attempt to bar any regulation of those lands. He introduced a similar bill in 2011; it passed the House in 2012 on a near party-line vote and advanced no further.

Background Vermont’s only House member is Peter Welch, a Democrat first elected in He serves as a chief deputy whip and is active on energy and health care issues. In the House, Welch is known for his legislative skill, though he retains an understated and collegial style. In his first term, he was one of four freshman Democrats to get a seat on the Rules Committee. After the GOP takeover of the House in 2011, he became a chief deputy for Minority Whip Steny Hoyer. He helped liberals articulate their opposition to both the tax cut extension deal between President Barack Obama and House Republicans in December 2010 as well as the GOP’s vote to repeal health care reform the following month. But Welch is not a strict partisan. He worked with Republicans on a measure in early 2013 to allow states to ensure online merchants collect sales taxes in return for simplified tax procedures, and a 2011 bill he introduced to prevent the Afghan government from taxing American companies delivering US aid to that country drew support from several conservatives. Welch got a provision into House-passed energy and climate change legislation in 2009 to invest billions of dollars in energy efficiency efforts. He also won committee passage of a measure to provide tax rebates to consumers for installing upgraded insulation, storm windows, and other energy efficiency measures.

Democrat Don Beyer soundly beat Republican Micah Edmond and Libertarian Jeffrey Carson in 2014 to succeed retiring Democratic Rep. Jim Moran. His district covers the wealthy and heavily Democratic Northern Virginia suburbs, and he has one of the shortest commutes of any member—around "18 minutes," he says. American politics is rich in examples of second and third chances, and Beyer is no exception. He built a reputation as an affable deal-maker who could work with both sides of the aisle when he served two terms as Virginia's lieutenant governor, starting in But in 1997, when he sought the prize of the governorship, he floundered in his campaign against Republican James Gilmore III, stumbling in particular over the issue of the state's contested car tax. He lost by 10 percentage points. Beyer's next big chance came when Moran announced his retirement. Beyer promptly announced his bid. Although all endorsed staunchly progressive ideals, Beyer stood out by demonstrating a strong grasp of both foreign and domestic policy. He went on to serve as ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein for four years under the Obama administration. On the Science, Space and Technology Committee, Beyer has been the ranking Democrat on the Oversight Subcommittee. He worked with Republicans on cybersecurity issues, including at the Office of Personnel Management and in the banking industry.

He became assistant Republican leader in He was a vocal supporter of GOP Gov. Scott Walker's 2011 budget bill, which weakened public-sector unions. In April 2014, Grothman announced he would challenge Petri, who ultimately decided to retire. In the closest congressional race in Wisconsin since 1970, Grothman beat the second-highest vote-getter, state Sen. Joe Leibham, by 219 votes. Leibham declined to ask for a recount. Both Grothman and Harris argued that the other was too extreme for the district. Harris said Grothman was weak on women's issues, while Grothman in a fundraising labeled Harris a "far-left politician." Harris cast himself as being more like Petri—a "thoughtful, quiet, moderate." But Grothman had demographics on his side. Newly drawn boundaries made the 6th District the second-most-Republican of the state's eight congressional districts.
