What A Democratic Majority In The House Could Mean For California And Nevada

I know we're still a couple of weaks of hard campaigning away from this scenario. Nevertheless I would like to tak a look at what positions in the House Democratic Californian and Nevadan Representatives could hold come January. The following is solely based on their current positions:

  • Speaker of the House: Nancy Pelosi (CA-08)
  • Chairman of the Committee on Education and the Workforce: George Miller (CA-07)
  • Chairman of the Committee on Government Reform: Henry Waxman (CA-30)
  • Chairwoman of the Committee on House Administration: Juanita Millender-McDonald (CA-37)
  • Chairman of the Committee on International Relations: Tom Lantos (CA-12)
  • Chairwoman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence: Jane Harman (CA-36)
  • Chairman of the Subcommittee (Agriculture) on Department Operations, Oversight, Nutrition and Forestry: Joe Baca (CA-43)
  • Chairwoman of the Subcommittee (Education) on Education Reform: Lynn Woolsey (CA-06)
  • Chairwoman of the Subcommittee (Energy) on Environment and Hazardous Materials: Hilda Solis (CA-32)
  • Chairwoman of the Subcommittee (Financial Services) on Housing and Community Opportunity: Maxine Waters (CA-35)
  • Chairwoman of the Subcommitte (Government Reform) on Energy and Resources: Diane Watson (CA-33)
  • Chairwoman of the Subcommittee (Homeland Security) on Economic Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Cybersecurity: Loretta Sanchez (CA-47)
  • Chairwoman of the Subcommittee (Homeland Security) on Intelligence, Information Sharing, and Terrorism Risk Assessment: Zoe Lofgren (CA-16)
  • Chairman of the Subcommittee (International Relations) on International Terrorism and Proliferation: Brad Sherman (CA-27)
  • Chairman of the Subcommitte (Judiciary) on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property: Howard Berman (CA-28)
  • Chairwoman of the Subcommitte (Resources) on Water and Power: Grace Napolitano (CA-38)
  • Chairman of the Subcommitte (Science) on Energy: Mike Honda (CA-15)
  • Chairwoman of the Subcommitte (Small Business) on Tax, Finance, and Export: Juanita Millender-McDonald (CA-37)
  • Chairman of the Subcommitte (Transportation and Infrastructure) on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation: Bob Filner (CA-51)
  • Chairwoman of the Subcommittee (Veteran's Affairs) on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs: Shelley Berkley (NV-01)
  • Chairman of the Subcommittee (Ways and Means) on Health: Pete Stark (CA-13)
  • Chairwoman of the Subcommittee (Intelligence) on Technical and Tactical Intelligence: Anna Eshoo (CA-14)
Granted, there are so many subcommittees that you've gotta be a freshman or a nobody to not get to chair some committee but I still thought it was interesting where Californians (and that one Nevadan) would yield some power should Democrats win back the House in a couple of weeks. And did you notice all the women? Women will for the first time in history (currently there is not one woman chairing a full committee) yield some significant power in Congress should Democrats win.
