WASHINGTON -- Congress returns to Washington on Monday with three items on its plate -- money, power and politics -- and Georgia's delegation will be right smack in the middle of it all.
One of the first orders of business when House lawmakers gather for the first time since the midterm elections is picking their new leaders. The caucuses are expected to vote on Wednesday, and the positions will take effect when the new term starts in January.
Republicans are expected to elect a new House speaker -- almost certainly Ohio Rep. John Boehner -- and other top House leaders. Rep. Tom Price of Roswell is running for one top post, chairman of the Republican Policy Committee. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland of Coweta County is jockeying for a regional leadership position on the influential Republican Steering Committee, which hands out committee assignments to other members.
