Seniority in the United States House of Representatives

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a complete list of current members of the United States House of Representatives based on seniority. For the most part, representatives are ranked by the beginning of their terms in office. Representatives whose terms begin the same day are ranked alphabetically by last name.

Seniority calculation

[edit]

Seniority is calculated by:

  1. Number of total terms served (subtracting one term from the number of non-consecutive terms)
  2. Number of consecutive terms served
  3. Alphabetically by last name[1]

An additional clause applies for representatives that have a prior tenure of less than two terms. In this case, they will have preference over all other members who are freshmen by tenure.[citation needed]

An example of this ranking system is Rep. Pete Sessions had previously served eleven terms, from 1997 to 2019 (after his defeat in the 2018 midterms), when he was once again elected in 2020. Instead of holding seniority with others whose terms began January 3, 2021, he was credited with ten terms, and holds seniority above all representatives whose terms began on or after January 3, 2001.

Benefits of seniority

[edit]

Committee leadership in the House is often associated with seniority, especially in the Democratic Caucus. The Republican leadership, in comparison with the Democratic Party, prioritizes voting records and campaign fundraising over seniority for committee leadership.[2] Party leadership in the House is not strictly associated with seniority.

The more senior a representative is, the more likely the representative is to receive desirable committee assignments or leadership posts. Seniority also affects access to more desirable office space in the House Office Buildings:[3] after an office is vacated, members next in seniority can choose whether to move into it. Only after allocations for existing members are complete can incoming members be assigned offices via the congressional office lottery.[4]

Vacancies

[edit]
  • New Jersey 9: Bill Pascrell (D) died on August 21, 2024.[5] No special election will be held, and the seat will remain vacant for the remainder of the 118th Congress. Nellie Pou will assume office at the start of the next session.
  • Florida 1: Matt Gaetz (R) resigned on November 13, 2024, after being nominated by president-elect Donald Trump to become attorney general.[6] The seat will remain vacant for the remainder of the 118th Congress and a special election to fill the seat for the 119th Congress will be held on April 1, 2025.
  • California 30: Adam Schiff (D) resigned on December 8, 2024, after being appointed to the U.S. Senate. The seat will remain vacant for the remainder of the 118th Congress. Laura Friedman will assume office at the start of the next session.
  • New Jersey 3: Andy Kim (D) resigned on December 8, 2024, after being appointed to the U.S. Senate. The seat will remain vacant for the remainder of the 118th Congress. Herb Conaway will assume office at the start of the next session.
  • North Dakota at-large: Kelly Armstrong (R) resigned on December 14, 2024, to be sworn in as governor of North Dakota. The seat will remain vacant for the remainder of the 118th Congress. Julie Fedorchak will assume office at the start of the next session.
