After criticism, GOP adds woman to chair House committee
After enduring negative headlines that all of the House Republican committee chairmanships will be filled by men in the next Congress, Republicans have found their woman. NBC News has learned that Rep. Candice Miller (R-Mich. ) will be named chair of the House Administration Committee. Miller did not serve on the committee during the 112th Congress. Lack of diversity has been an issue for the GOP, and many strategists believe that the party’s problems with women and minorities led to President Obama’s re-election. Miller has been in Congress since 2003, and her highest committee level post is on the House Homeland Security Committee. The House Administration Committee deals with the pertinent administrative business of the House.
