Talk:List of new members of the 112th United States Congress

Missing members
Where is Joe Manchin of West Virginia? Chris Coons of Delaware? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.148.163 (talk) 05:52, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Because those were special elections, they became members of the 111th Congress once certified, accepted and sworn in, and therefore not freshmen members for the 112th; if not sworn in due to death, decline to serve, etc., not listed as members. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.202.99.215 (talk) 10:12, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Additionally, Kirk's will be determined by his resignation from the House of Representatives.75.202.99.215 (talk) 10:30, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

By the way, Manchin and Coons were elected to seats that, in 2010, were not up for regular election. It was different for Kirk of Illinois: He actually won 2 simultaneous elections, one for the little time left in now-President Obama's Senate term, and one for full 6-year term. But that's right, Manchin, Coons, and Kirk were all already in office before start of 112th Congress. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 15:07, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for creating this, as I'm using it to update he External links templates as their 'official links' are being created (GovTrack, Legistorm, etc.) Your work is appreciated. :-) Flatterworld (talk) 16:38, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Just wondering
Why is there no column to make note of politicians' education? And, especially given the separation of church and state in this country, why is there a column for their religion?

This! Why is there a column for religion????? Education is much more relevant! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.104.196.186 (talk) 07:43, 3 February 2012 (UTC) 72.84.198.62 (talk) 22:43, 27 July 2011 (UTC)VA prof

How about new special-election arrivals?
I take it you don't have a seniority list for U.S. House (although you have one for U.S. Senate) because of the much larger number of members. I have read that a replacement for Gabby Giffords just got elected in Arizona; yes, I know it's too late for the START of 112th Congress. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 15:01, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
