Fights Expected for Top Spots on Banking Committees

When Election Day ends, the fight to see who controls power banking committees on Capitol Hill will begin, Punchbowl News reported.

Reps. Andy Barr, R-Ky., and French Hill, R-Ark., are in the running to be the top Republican on the House Financial Services Committee, with Reps. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich., and Frank Lucas, R-Okla. in the mix, Punchbowl said.

Republicans have been unwilling to make dramatic moves because they are unsure of what leadership will look like if Democrats win control of the House, Punchbowl said.
