Friday From DC - New Faces In New Places
New Faces In New Places
It has been four and a half weeks since election day and the last race for Congress has been called. The final breakdown of the U.S. Senate will be 53 Republicans and 47 Democrats. The U.S. House of Representatives will also have a slim margin, with 220 Republicans and 215 Democrats. Complicating these margins, in 2025 two (2) Republican Senators and three (3) House Republicans will be leaving to assume positions in the Trump Administration. Those five seats will be filled with appointments by Governors in the case of the Senate and special elections for the House seats
In total, starting January 3, 2025, there will be 10 new members of the Senate and 63 new members of the House of Representatives. That means a lot of new faces in and around Capitol Hill. We have a lot of work to do introducing the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) and our legislative priorities to these new lawmakers!
You can help us meet these new legislators by joining us in Washington, D.C. for Bikers Inside the Beltway on May 19 and 20, 2025. In January the MRF website will have updates on registration and travel details. We need bikers to show up, be seen and be heard!
