House Republicans choose all-white, all-male committee chairs

The 113th Congress will set some big diversity records, with more women
serving than ever before and an entire delegation of women from New
Hampshire, but unfortunately none of that diversity will be reflected in
Republican House committee leadership.

House Speaker John Boehner announced the chairs of most major House
committees for the 113th Congress on Tuesday, and all 19 of them are
white males.

The lone Republican minority congresswoman who has served as chairwoman
of the Foreign Affairs Committee during the 112th Congress, Florida’s
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, is stepping down because of term limits.
