Description | Like all new senators, John Barrasso will face a steep learning curve when he arrives in Washington, but in many ways will have a big jump on other freshmen.
Although his committee assignments remain up in the air, Barrasso will begin his Senate career with experienced staff in place, functional office space and the help of colleagues who have taken up some legislative priorities of the late Sen. Craig Thomas.
"I've spoken with Dr. John Barrasso and hope to have him in the Senate as early as Monday," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement. "His energy, combined with the excellent staff that served Sen. Thomas so well over many years will allow him to get started right away, in what will be a busy legislative session."
