McMorris Rodgers to seek Republican House leadership role

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Spokane), fresh off of a resounding re-election to a third term in the 5th Congressional District, announced Friday that she would seek the office of Vice Chair of the House Republican Conference.

The HRC is the organizational body for all Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives, and is integral in selecting House leadership and committee chairs, as well as intra-party communication and floor debate organization.

McMorris Rodgers’ press secretary Destry Henderson told PolitickerWA.com today that the vote to replace Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas), the current vice chair, could take place as early as next week, but the exact date of the vote has yet to be determined.

He also said that there are currently no other official candidates for the post besides McMorris Rodgers, and that reaction from fellow House Republicans has so far been positive.

McMorris Rodgers defeated Democrat Mark Mays in last Tuesday's election, 65-35.
