The powerful House Rules Committee will have new leadership in the 119th Congress, both publicly and behind the scenes.
Earlier this month, Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., claimed the Rules gavel after the retirement of Rep. Michael C. Burgess, R-Texas.
Committee staff director Jennifer Belair will soon follow Burgess out the door when she takes on a new position as senior vice president of government affairs at lobbying firm Atlas Crossing.
