(15 Nov 2018) The newly-elected members of Congress continued their introduction to Washington 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.
