    Tis true. But, I was talking about committee chairs

      Every Chair.

        16 committee chairs are chosen every congress. The Republican caucus leaders choose theirs. The democratic caucus elects theirs, with the Dem leader playing a large role in aligning per senority. This year, Jeffries has decided to stay out of it giving the opportunity for younger congresspeople to take additional responsibilities. So essentially there is an internal campaign going on right now and the caucus will vote later. It has nothing to do with the election for the representative in the first place.

          I didn’t say it did. But that happens every 2 years for sure. Nobody is guaranteed their seat, in their district or their committee.

            Two separate things. But whatever the case you have to be a member of the caucus in order to vote for committee chair and that means you already won your district.

              And neither is guaranteed. It’s really a very simple concept. I’m not sure what you’re having trouble with.

                It’s not only simple, but meaningless. But, hey, thanks.
