Staffers move into member seats

Posted by LegiStorm on Thursday, November 04, 2010

A few former staffers were lifted to seats of power in the Republican midterm wave. At least seven former congressional aides - all Republicans - won House of Representative seats in Tuesday's midterm elections.

The strangest case may be Frank Guinta, who worked for former Rep. Jeb Bradley (R-N.H.) from 2003-2005. Guinta ran for his old boss's seat, only to find Bradley calling on him to drop out of the race due to a mysterious infusion of Guinta's personal cash into his campaign despite not having listed any significant cash horde on his personal financial disclosure. Guinta later amended the filing and the controversy didn't keep him from victory.

Also included in the count is Kevin Yoder, who was an intern on Capitol Hill only eight short years ago and was elected in the 3rd district of Kansas. The 34-year-old Yoder briefly interned for Rep. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) in 2002, the same year he received his law degree from the University of Kansas.
