(15 Nov 2018) The newly-elected members of the US Congress continued their introduction to Washington on Thursday with an orientation briefing at the Capitol. The House of Representatives' newest members are in Washington this week for a series of orientation events and to complete the necessary administrative matters that come with being a member of Congress. Democrats picked up at least 32 House seats in last week's midterm elections, with several races still undecided. The new members are a younger, more diverse group. The freshman class includes a record number of women who drove the most powerful Democratic sweep of the House since the Watergate election of 1974.
