In New Congress, House Committees Will Carry a Strong Texas Accent

December 27, 2014 Black Truth News Politics, Recent Posts

“The Republicans having six committee chairs is certainly unprecedented, but it probably won’t mean that the Texas delegation is as powerful as it was when it had the majority leader and majority whip,” Sean M. Theriault, a professor in the Department of Government at the University of Texas, wrote in an email, referring to the period between 1995 and 2003 when two Texans, Dick Armey and Tom DeLay, served as the G.O.P.’s second- and third-ranking leaders in the House. “Yesterday’s chairs had tremendous amount of discretion to enact their will (or, perhaps even more powerfully, stop legislation they opposed).”

Should another Texan seek a leadership post, however, the fact that the state holds multiple committee chairmanships and the largest Republican delegation wouldn’t hurt.
