One fmr lawmaker said the leadership team will grow more diverse soon (but we've heard that before) “They just haven’t had enough time to get their legs underneath them and deep enough to take on that type of role. So it’s a time issue, it’s not a quality issue. But it’s coming" — PolitiTweet.org

But if GOP wins majority, the top three leadership spots (+ others) are guaranteed to be occupied by white men: -- McCarthy (Speaker) -- Scalise (ML) -- Emmer vs. Banks vs. Ferguson (Whip) -- Hudson vs. LaHood (NRCC) -- Johnson (Conf vice chair) -- Palmer (Policy chair) — PolitiTweet.org

Scott Wong @scottwongDC

The NRCC says 80 GOP women are running for House seats in the November midterms. And Republicans have nominated a record 74 Hispanic, Black, Asian and Native Americans this cycle. That almost certainly means the House GOP conference will be more diverse next year. — PolitiTweet.org
