This article discusses the House Republican Transition team’s intentions to include the newly elected freshmen representatives in leadership positions. Tim Walden, the Republican Congressman from Oregon, was chosen by party brass to lead this transition team. Walden spoke about the high quality and dynamic nature of the freshmen senators, and how their voices will be heard when they take office. A new GOP leadership position is being created for a freshman senator that will have significant power.
The GOP’s decision to create a new leadership position for a freshman representative is very important at this time because of the shift in political climate. The incoming class of Congressmen represents a distinct point of view that is unique to the Election of 2010 and the issues at hand. Also, it is crucial to infuse party leadership with new blood that have fresh ideas and a lack of Washington insider experience.
