The fresh faces of the 120th Congress arrived on Capitol Hill on Monday for Senate freshman orientation following Democrats’ takeover of the upper chamber in last week’s midterm elections.
Among the incoming senators is Sen.-elect Adam Hamilton (D-KS), the megachurch pastor who flipped a Senate seat in a state that had not elected a Democrat to the chamber since 1932. Hamilton has already signaled he wants to chart an independent course, declining to publicly endorse Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for majority leader and calling for a new kind of leadership built around bipartisanship and bringing people together. He has also said he plans to continue preaching on a limited basis.
