Joe Biden was elected the 46th President of the United States by winning close races in Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin, and also carrying Michigan and Pennsylvania. While President Donald Trump has yet to formally concede and continues to bring legal challenges, there does not appear to be a viable pathway to change the result. Control of Congress remains in doubt. Democrats will continue to run the House, but barely, after Republicans flipped at least eleven seats. When the remaining races are called or decided, the Democratic majority in the House may have been trimmed to a margin of just four or five. The outcome in the Senate remains unsettled, as the country will await the results of the January 5th run-off elections in Georgia. Currently, the Republicans have 50 Senators and the Democrats have 48 (which includes two Independents who caucus with the Democrats). If the Democrats can defeat both Republican Georgia Senators in the high-stakes run-off elections, there would be 50-50 tie, which would be broken in favor of the Democrats by Vice President- Elect Kamala Harris. To help you assess the 2020 election, we have prepared a comprehensive guide that summarizes the results and their impact on the 117th Congress, which will convene in January. The Election Guide lists all new members elected to Congress, updates the congressional delegations for each state, and provides a starting point for analyzing the coming changes to the House and Senate committees. Please click here to download the most up-to-date version of this Election Guide, which will be updated on an ongoing basis as more of the close races are called and committees are finalized.

ABOUT THE 2020 ELECTION GUIDE K&L Gates is providing this guide to help you better understand and keep track of the changes in Congress. It provides a starting point for assessing the coming changes in House and Senate Committee and Subcommittee memberships. The following are included within this guide: • All new Members of Congress are listed alphabetically by state along with links to their campaign websites, which contain biographical information. Outgoing Members of Congress are listed, with the reasons for their departures. • Complete delegations for each state are included with new Members of the House and Senate highlighted in yellow to indicate no change in party and their predecessors shown. Seats that switched parties are highlighted in red for Republican pick-ups and blue for Democratic pick-ups. Races that are too close to call are marked with an asterisk and highlighted gray. • Roster lists for each full Committee from the departing 116th Congress are included, with non-returning members lined out. The full Committee House and Senate Chairmen and Ranking Members noted reflect the 116th Congress, not necessarily what to expect for the 117th Congress. We will continue to update the Committee information as Chairmen and Ranking Members are selected and the rosters are finalized for the new Congress. 4 NEW MEMBERS OF THE SENATE (7) Democrats ( 3) Republicans (4 ) Mark Kelly (AZ) Tommy Tuberville (AL) https://markkelly.com/ https://tommyforsenate.com/about/ Ben Ray Luján (NM) Roger Marshall (KS) https://benraylujan.com/ https://kansansformarshall.com/ John Hickenlooper Bill Hagerty (TN) https://hickenlooper.com/ https://teamhagerty.com/meet-bill/ Cynthia Lummis (WY) https://www.lummisforwyoming.com/ NEW MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (56) Democrats ( 14) Republicans (40 ) Sarah Jacobs (CA) Jerry Carl (AL) https://sarajacobsforca.com/ https://jerrycarlforcongress.com/ Nikema Williams (GA) Barry Moore (AL) https://www.nikemaforcongress.com/ https://barrymooreforcongress.com/ Kaiali’I Kahele (HI) Jay Obernolte (CA) https://www.kaikahele.com/ http://electjay.com/ Marie Newman (IL) Michelle Steele (CA) https://www.marienewmanforcongress.com/ https://www.michellesteelca.com/ Frank J.
