Massie will take oath of office November 13

[tsai3904]

One week after winning a seat to Congress, Thomas Massie will go from working on his Lewis County farm to the middle of the showdown in the nation’s capitol over the nation’s debt and avoiding the “fiscal cliff.”

Massie will take the oath of office Nov. 13 to succeed U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, who resigned July 31 citing family health issues. Massie takes office earlier than others who won in the general election because he also won the special election to fill Davis’ unexpired term that ends Dec. 31.

A constant stream of calls from congressional members and staff have kept Massie busy since his Tuesday victory to get him ready for his quick introduction into Congress. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R.Va., sent him eagle cuff links to wear for the occasion.

Soon after taking the oath, Massie will vote on how Congress should handle the fiscal cliff, which is the mandatory tax hikes and government spending cuts set for Jan. 2 and precipitated by Congress’ 2011 agreement to increase the debt ceiling.

Good, then he will overlap with Ron.

Yup, not a sweeping wave of new Congressmen to have seniority over, but it's still something

Sadly, Congressman Elect Bentivolio won't be able to overlap with Congressman Paul. But Congressman Elect Massie can fill him in anyway when Rep-Elect Bentivolio takes office in January. Also, I'm excited about great congressmen like Congressmen Elect Ted Yoho, Markwayne Mullin, Steve Stockman and others!

Congressmen Elect Ted Yoho

THAT's the name! I recalled hearing about him, and he sounded promising based on what little I heard. But I couldn't remember his name, so I couldn't ask if he had won.

Guess I know now. Cool.
