We are winding down the second session of the 117th Congress. There are no uncontested midterm election races and on December 6th, Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) defeated Herschel Walker for a full 6-year term in the Senate.
Both Democratic and Republican parties have begun the ritual of organizing for the 118th Congress that will convene on January 3, 2023.
Democrats traditionally use the seniority system to select chairs and ranking members on committees, and they do not enforce term limits. House Republicans adhere to a six -year term limit for chairs and often see competitive races for top committee gavels, like Appropriations and Ways and Means.
GETTING ORGANIZED— House Democrats are moving full speed ahead to lock-in lower ranking leadership roles and key committee leaders by the middle of next week. Ranking members of House committees could be set by then, after the Steering Committee makes its recommendations. Tomorrow the caucus will look at Budget Committee leadership and the new position of Battleground Leadership Representative, giving frontliners a seat at the leadership table.
Welcome back to Topless Government. This show is a cross between Schoolhouse Rock and civics for the masses. I want to make this show relatable and fun for everyone who would like to know how YOUR government works. Remember knowledge is power! So let’s get started.
I am the host, Crystal Ellerbe. I live, breathe, eat, and sleep politics. I’ve done two tours of duty in the US Senate and one tour of duty in the US House. I had the privilege of working in state and local governments, corporate America and several lobbying firms in Washington, DC.
As always I would be pleased if you would subscribe, rate, share, and review the show.
