Harvard degree-program affiliates in the 116th Congress

Degree-program affiliates now number 53, with 15 in the Senate and 38 in the House.

The Senate tilts red, the House blue for Harvard degree-program alumni or matriculants in the 116th Congress. The GOP roster now has eight senators (up two) and six representatives (down one); across the aisle are six senators (down one) and 32 representatives (up 3). Asterisks mark the newcomers.

Updated 12/18/18: Republican Martha McSally, M.P.P. ’90, the Arizona representative who lost a race for  Senator Jeff Flake’s seat in November, has been named to fill the Senate seat formerly held by John McCain.
