The House Republican majority is slated to be younger and more diverse next Congress than in years past, boosting the GOP's efforts to be a national party.
U.S. House of RepresentativesAlthough Republicans fell far short of the much-predicted"red wave," the party still flipped 21 seats held by Democrats on their way to the House majority thisIn Texas, Rep.-elect Wesley Hunt won a newly drawn congressional seat based in the Houston suburbs.
"I was elected to represent a majority-White district," said Hunt."I ran in a primary against nine other White guys and beat my nearest competitor by more than 25 points. The left can claim the Republican Party is racist, but my story says otherwise."Hunt said his race was an added bonus, just like his status as a combat veteran, but not a defining feature of his campaign.
"In the best country in the world where anything is possible, I am now honored to represent my hometown in the U.S. Congress," said Arizona congressman-elect Juan Ciscomani, whose family immigrated from Mexico as a young child. "This party is more reflective of our country than almost anytime in our nation and it's only going to continue to grow," said McCarthy.

Republican firebrand Boebert wins House re-election after Democrat concedes(Reuters) -U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert, the polarizing Republican who gained national notoriety during her first term with her combative brand of politics, won re-election in a surprisingly close race after her Democratic opponent conceded on Friday. Adam Frisch, a businessman and former city councilman in Aspen, Colorado, said he had called Boebert and conceded the contest, which appears destined for an automatic recount with Boebert leading by fewer than 600 votes out of more than 325,000 cast in the Nov. 8 midterm election. 'The likelihood of this recount changing more than a handful of votes is very small,' Frisch said in a news conference streamed on his Facebook page, adding that he did not want to raise money from supporters for an effort that would not succeed.
