Every now and then, certain decorating fads sweep through the Capitol’s corridors of power.
Like dorm room decor, the flags, posters and signs that members of Congress display outside their offices can tell you a lot about who works (and sometimes sleeps) inside. If you see a Gadsden or Pine Tree flag, you can bet it’s a Republican; if there’s a rainbow flag, you can assume it’s a Democrat.
Handwritten sticky notes mark the doorways of some younger progressives, while Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich., greets you with a fact about his district. (Did you know it’s home to the only authentic and fully functioning Dutch windmill in the United States?)
