<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao MvWXB TjIXL aGjvy ebVHC">No women will lead a House committee for the first time in two decades after House Republicans revealed their list of committee leaders for the 119th Congress on Thursday.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">The <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://scalise.house.gov/press-releases/Scalise-Applauds-Committee-Chairs-for-119th-Congress" target="_blank">17 standing committees</a>, whose leaders were selected by the House Republican Steering Committee, will be <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://x.com/Fritschner/status/1867348552311083008" target="_blank">dominated by white men</a> when the new Congress is seated on Jan. 3. No people of color were selected, either.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">The last time there was not at least one woman leading a standing committee in the House was the 109th Congress, from 2005 until 2006.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">&#8220;From securing our southern border, to unleashing American energy, to fighting to lower Bidenflation, and making our communities safe again, our Committee Chairs are ready to get to work fulfilling the American people&#8217;s mandate and enacting President Trump&#8217;s America-First agenda,&#8221; House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said in announcing the list of chairs. &#8220;House Republicans are heading into the 119th Congress prepared to address the issues most important to hardworking Americans and fight for meaningful legislative wins.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">&#8220;I look forward to working with these strong leaders and their Committees to advance President Trump&#8217;s priorities and deliver the American people the government they voted for in November,&#8221; he added.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">Three Republican women led House committees in the 118th Congress: Texas Rep. Kay Granger chaired the Appropriations Committee, Washington Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers chaired the Energy and Commerce Committee and North Carolina Rep. Virginia Foxx chaired the Education and the Workforce Committee.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">Neither Granger nor McMorris Rodgers ran for reelection in 2024, though Foxx did earn an 11th term in office. However, Foxx, 81, had already been <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/committee-chair-virginia-foxx-championed-issues-winners-gop/story?id=116658920" target="_blank">granted a waiver to lead her committee</a> in the 118th Congress beyond the six-year term limits the House GOP imposes, and she did not request an additional waiver. She had served as chairwoman in the 115th Congress, as well as ranking member in the 116th and the 117th. Michigan Rep. Tim Walberg will take over the chairmanship of the Education and the Workforce Committee instead.</p>

In fact, we elected some really strong women in the upcoming freshmen class.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">&#8220;We value those voices. And everybody has an equal say at the table,&#8221; he noted. &#8220;These are thoughtful elections. We have an embarrassment of riches, frankly.&#8221;</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy">The Republican Party will have a trifecta in the new year with control of the House, Senate, and White House, but the <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-set-office-razor-thin-house-gop-majority/story?id=116274023" target="_blank">razor-thin majority</a> of 220 Republicans to 215 Democrats in the House will leave little room for dissent, especially with two members of the House GOP set to be nominated for posts in the Trump administration and the resignation of Florida Rep.
