The election is over; now the race to secure leadership positions begins.

Federal News Network is tracking which members of the new Democratic majority are putting their names in the hat for leadership positions that can have a direct impact on federal employees, from Speaker of the House down to committee chairmanships and ranking member positions.

Meanwhile, Republicans have begun naming ranking members to the various committees. Some are familiar faces in committee leadership, while others are new.

Editor’s note: This resource will continue to be updated until committees and their leadership are officially assigned in January.
