Local Congressmen Rodney Davis and Darin LaHood have not said whether they voted to oust Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney as the House Republican Conference Chair this morning. Cheney was removed early this morning in a closed-ballot vote by colleagues.
House Republican leadership had said in previous weeks that Cheney’s open fight with former-President Donald Trump had become a distraction and that she should not serve in a leadership position in which the job is to unify the party as it seeks to combat current President Joe Biden’s agenda, as well as hopes of winning back the U.S. House in the 2022 elections.

A Republican defeated a Democrat in a New Hampshire House special election Tuesday in Merrimack, a town President Joe Biden carried by six points in the 2020 presidential race.
In the state’s first special election since the 2020 cycle, Town Councilor Bill Boyd beat out former state Rep. Wendy Thomas by eight percent, strengthening Republicans’ majority in the 400-seat House, 213–186.
“The turnout was huge by special election standards, reflecting the enthusiasm on both sides,” local outlet WMUR observed. The seat became vacant after the death of state Rep. Dick Hinch, a Republican who had just been elected speaker of the House before he died in December.

But after a year of conflict and connection around race in America, when we were shaken awake to unresolved issues from King’s day, it’s worth reflecting on who’s carrying his torch in 2021. In honor of Martin Luther King Day, this Sunday Magazine introduces you to today’s leaders across issues to which King devoted his life’s work: poverty, labor, religion and civil rights.
