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. Her arrival raises the number of Harvard GOP affiliates in the Senate to nine (up three from the 115th Congress), and the total Harvard contingent in the House and Senate to 53.
