THE 10 US LAWMAKERS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IN 2023

Bloomberg identified 10 US lawmakers with the legislative expertise, political
stature, and ability to get things done in a divided Congress — and they'll be
making waves this year.

A new Congress takes power in January facing profound challenges for the US
economy and global markets including the threat of a debt-limit crisis and the
need to rein in cryptocurrencies after the spectacular collapse of Sam
Bankman-Fried's firm.

Lawmakers from both parties will also wrestle with calls to keep the capricious
billionaire Elon Musk in check, while seeking ways to match the rising clout of
a resurgent China determined to absorb Taiwan one day. Debates over persistent
inflation, abortion, gun violence and threats to democracy will also punctuate
the next two years.

With Republicans now taking control of the House, Capitol Hill power brokers
will have to navigate divided government to overcome entrenched hostilities and
cut deals that will affect the economy and US society for a generation.



Bloomberg has identified 10 lawmakers based on their legislative track records,
stature in their political parties and areas of expertise as well as their
ability to get things done. Some are veterans and others are rising stars. Half
of them are Republican, and half Democrats — reflecting the current split in
Congress.

At least one is an emerging presidential contender. Another is rehabilitating
her reputation after a fumble that sidelined her hopes for a top House post.
Many are fierce fundraisers who handily won reelection. And one survived a
runoff that ultimately handed a decisive defeat to former President Donald
Trump.

What do they all have in common? These are not necessarily household names but
we expect they will be one day. They reflect the increasing diversity on Capitol
Hill. And behind every deal cut in Congress that business cares about, they
likely will have played a key role.

Each year, we'll be back with your must-read guide to the Capitol Hill
personalities whose influence can be felt beyond the Beltway. In the meantime,
we will regularly revisit our cast of characters to see what impact they've had.

Hill, on Dec. 21. Photographer: Ting Shen/Bloomberg


REP. VERN BUCHANAN

Business Guardian



As one of the richest members of Congress, Buchanan brings a decidedly
pro-business bent to Ways and Means, the committee responsible for tax, trade
and health-care policy at a time many other Republicans find themselves at odds
with Corporate America over environmental and social policies.

Buchanan’s personal wealth is largely tied to his ownership of several car
dealerships, as well as smaller stakes in other companies. “I’d rather buy
businesses and help people be successful,” Buchanan said in a December
interview. “It's a lot more fun than just buying some stocks in the S&P 500.”

Buchanan was instrumental in securing tax breaks for small business owners in
the 2017 Trump tax law, which included a special deduction for owners of
pass-through entities, including limited partnerships, S corporations and
limited liability companies. That’s a legacy that he’s keen to extend, with many
of those tax breaks expiring in the coming years.



“I’m going to do everything I can to help American businesses get to the next
level,” said Buchanan, who is facing a challenge for the Ways and Means
Committee’s top job.

During the last two years, Buchanan sponsored 21 pieces of legislation, nearly a
quarter of which focused on taxation. As of Nov. 28, Buchanan had raised more
than $4.6 million in the 2022 election cycle, with much of that money coming
from real estate, insurance, and pharmaceutical industries. 

Buchanan, 71, says his business prowess is what makes him uniquely qualified to
lead a committee that will face the expiration of the Trump tax cuts and the
need to creatively craft trade deals with key allies, including the UK and EU.
The tax-writing panel is also looking for ways to combat Chinese influence in
the developing world. 

Buchanan, from port-heavy Florida, has a pro-free trade perspective, a stance
that has the potential to put him at odds with some of the isolationist factions
within his party. “As a business owner, when I’m looking to invest, I want to
know who’s running the state, the legislature, the country. Are they the wind in
my back or the wind in my face?” Buchanan said. “What we do in Washington makes
such a big difference to small and large businesses here and abroad.” —Laura

REP. PATRICK MCHENRY

Crypto Champion



Faced with the prospect of a narrow House majority, McHenry says he’s looking
for bipartisan opportunities, including on cryptocurrency, as he prepares to
take the Financial Services gavel. Whether it’s updating data privacy standards,
building consensus on capital formation initiatives or “giving legislative form
and definition to digital assets,” he says, “I think we have viable
opportunities to get a work product enacted into law.”

The FTX collapse hasn’t dimmed McHenry’s enthusiasm for digital currency,
although he doesn’t personally have any crypto holdings. He sees crypto as
“foundation stone of the next internet.”

McHenry, 47, has blasted the Biden administration for enacting policies by
regulatory fiat that they have been unable to get through Congress, including
Securities and Exchange Commission proposals that would force hedge funds and
private equity firms to reveal more about their fees, and would require
companies to make detailed environmental, social and governance disclosures.



He has also taken aim at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a political
lightning rod since its creation following the 2008 financial crisis, after the
agency bolstered its enforcement program and changed some exam criteria under
Director Rohit Chopra. “We will make it clear to them the confines of the law
that they should be operating under,” McHenry said.

McHenry’s national stature has risen as he has waged these regulatory battles, a
fact underscored by his fundraising reach. By Nov. 28, he had raised nearly $5.4
million in the 2022 election cycle, with his top donors coming from the
securities and investment, insurance and banking industries.

McHenry, who first came to Congress in 2005, has opted to forgo a leadership
position in the next Congress so he can lead Financial Services. He had been
eyed for Republican whip, the chief vote counter in the caucus. “I’m more
optimistic about my positive effect, on outcomes, than serving as whip,” he said
in an interview. —Billy House and Madison Mills

REP. KAY GRANGER

Money Manager



As she takes the gavel of the Appropriations Committee, Granger will be under
intense pressure from House Freedom Caucus conservatives to use any means
possible to cut domestic spending, rein in the Internal Revenue Service and fund
a border wall, the same issue that caused a 35-day shutdown in 2019. The genteel
former Fort Worth mayor and 25-year veteran of the House admits to becoming more
conservative over the years. But she is no firebrand and said she prefers to
make a deal.

Granger, 79, said the $1.7 trillion in annual government spending has to be
reduced and funding shifted toward security and defense. She said trips to the
US-Mexico border to educate lawmakers about the level of insecurity there can
lead to a meeting of minds.

“We are just spending way too much,” Granger said. “Our border is in a crisis,
our defense is in a crisis.”

Granger recently voted against two routine stopgap bills even though failure to
pass them would have caused shutdowns. She also sat out discussions on a
December omnibus spending package, backing House GOP leaders who demanded
Congress delay decisions on fiscal 2023 spending until next year. The moves
stuck out because Granger has generally been a deal-maker who can strike
bargains with the current panel chair, Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut. She talked
fondly of her friendship with former Democratic chair Nita Lowey, calling her
one of her best friends.

Granger, whose power to get bills approved was enhanced when Republicans voted
in December to keep earmarks, said she will work to avoid government shutdowns
next year. Her wariness stems in part from the effect on the US military and its
contractors. Granger’s district is home to employees working in major north
Texas facilities for top defense contractor Lockheed Martin, the maker of the
F-35 warplane, and Bell Textron, a key supplier of helicopters. Not
surprisingly, the top donors in her $2.2 million fundraising haul were from the
air transport and defense industries. —Erik Wasson

SEN. LISA MURKOWSKI

Unsinkable Maverick



As Alaska’s senior senator, Murkowski has been deeply involved in public land
issues as well as a staunch defender of her home state’s oil and gas industry,
including playing a pivotal role in Congress’s move in 2017 to lift a
40-year-old ban on oil drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. 

But Murkowski’s unique perspective representing a state on the forefront of
climate change has led her to support putting a price on carbon among other
positions to the left of her party on global warming. That could put her in the
mix for any bipartisan energy and climate deal.

In terms of fundraising, oil and gas was only Murkowski’s third highest donor by
industry, contributing some $537,000 to her campaign over the last six years. 



“She is a climate realist,” said McKie Campbell, who served as staff director
for the Senate Energy Committee under Murkowski. “She believes the effects on
climate that are happening are substantial, caused by humans, and there are
quite a number of steps we need to be taking to fight those changes.”

The Alaska Republican supports abortion rights and was one of seven Republicans
to vote to convict former President Donald Trump in his 2021 impeachment trial.
Her independent streak – and willingness to take on party leaders – will make
her a power player on both politics and policy in a divided government. 

Murkowski, 65, beat Kelly C. Tshibaka, a Republican challenger backed by former
President Donald Trump, in a runoff. But she’s no stranger to tough election
fights. Murkowski won a historic write-in campaign in the 2010 general election
after losing in the Republican primary. She still wears a gold version of the
bracelet her campaign handed out by the thousands to help voters remember how to
spell her name correctly.

“Alaska is no stranger to interesting elections,” Murkowski told CBS News after
her election victory in November. “We are mightily independent.” —Ari Natter

SEN. TIM SCOTT

Rising Star



Several Senate Republicans are talking Scott up as a potentially strong
presidential contender, with the No. 2 GOP senator — John Thune — saying he
"offers a lot" to any emerging field. That includes prolific fundraising, with a
campaign and leadership PAC that has totaled $54 million over the last six
years. His Opportunity Matters Fund spent more than $6 million on TV ads aiding
2022 GOP candidates

Scott ducks questions from reporters in the Capitol, and his press shop says
they won’t comment on his presidential ambitions. Whether or not he launches a
presidential bid, Scott’s profile rises as he becomes ranking Republican on the
Senate Banking Committee.

Scott, 57, is giving top priority to pushing back on so-called “corporate
activism.” At a committee hearing this year, he lambasted the CEOs of Wells
Fargo, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs for signing onto a statement opposing
“discriminatory legislation” amid a progressive backlash against a Georgia
election law. He also is skeptical of new bank and securities regulations over
concerns they could boost costs and curb access to credit.

Scott grew up in poverty and was raised by a single working mom, leading him to
propose “opportunity zones” that use tax incentives to lure investment to poor
neighborhoods. It was included in the 2017 GOP tax-cut law.

Legislation introduced by Scott and Democratic Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey
would allow states to move the tax incentives away from zones with economies
that have improved to new ones that need the help. It will be one of Scott’s
leading goals in 2023.

Scott also insists he hasn’t given up on another priority he shares with Booker,
an overhaul of policing practices sparked by George Floyd’s May 2020 killing.
Their talks stalled in the last session of Congress. —Laura Litvan


Gottheimer, following a vote on Capitol Hill, on Dec. 6. Photographer: Al
Drago/Bloomberg


REP. JOSH GOTTHEIMER

Problem Solver



Gottheimer will be at the center of the action for votes that require bipartisan
cooperation. As co-chair of the House Problem Solvers Caucus, a group equally
split between Republicans and Democrats, Gottheimer has racked up some wins,
including the infrastructure and semiconductor bills and shaping police training
and gun safety legislation.

While he doesn’t hold a leadership position, he’s found a way to work within the
system to get his bills and amendments considered. In the last Congress, he
sponsored 23 bills that ran the gamut from law enforcement to international
affairs.

“The best way to legislate is member to member. You can build coalitions in the
House and you also need to work closely with the Senate,” he said. “Not
everything has to go through leadership or committee. You can put together
strong policies with a group of members in both the House and Senate.”



Gottheimer, as a member of the House Financial Services committee, has also
taken a keen interest in cryptocurrency, particularly on stablecoin regulation.
He sees the efforts to address crypto as a series of incremental steps, rather
than one big bill, given the rapid pace of innovation.

Gottheimer, 47, also advocated to expand the state and local tax deduction, or
SALT, a priority that he and other Democrats are continuing to push. It may,
however, become a political non-starter in the Republican-controlled House next
year unless Democrats can use it as a bargaining chip for GOP priorities. —Laura

SEN. MARK WARNER

Intel Operator



As Intelligence chairman, Warner is focused on ensuring China doesn’t control
the technology for new drugs, food supplies, chemicals, artificial intelligence,
advanced energy and quantum computing. A former governor who made his fortune in
telecom, Warner also sees the potential for trade deals countering China, and is
wary of surveillance of Americans by Chinese-owned platforms like TikTok.

Warner, 68, is also worried that Musk’s dependence on China through Tesla could
lead to pressure on the billionaire’s latest acquisition: Twitter. “My concern
has always been about this financial overhang that the Communist Party of China
has over Elon Musk,” Warner said.



Warner, who is among the lawmakers briefed on the most sensitive security
matters, has been a strong supporter of arming Ukraine while trying to avoid a
wider war.

Bipartisan “gangs” will continue to be key to getting big bills done in the
Senate — a fact Warner embraces. “The old timers always looked down on these
gangs,” he said. “I’ve been a part of every one of them.”

Other priorities include bolstering Community Development Financial Institutions
to provide access to capital in rural and minority communities and expanding
housing.

He said he hopes Congress can pass some version of Senator Joe Manchin’s
permitting legislation to speed energy projects too. “Manchin did a real service
because he forced this agenda to the front burner,” he said.

One area Warner pushed hard during the Obama administration — a grand bargain on
the deficit — has yet to materialize. “It never came to pass because interest
rates were so low,” he said. He warned higher rates now threaten to cost the
government hundreds of billions a year. —Steven T. Dennis and Laura Litvan

REP. HAKEEM JEFFRIES

Next Gen Leader



House Democrats elected the 52-year-old Brooklyn native to serve as minority
leader in the next Congress, which will make him the first Black party leader in
Congress. He is a former litigator — he defended CBS in a lawsuit filed in Utah
over Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” at the 2004 Super Bowl —
state lawmaker, and Judiciary Committee member, serving as an impeachment
manager during former President Donald Trump’s first Senate trial.

Jeffries, who long has been regarded as Nancy Pelosi’s heir in leadership, said
in a November letter to fellow House Democrats he would focus on taking back the
House majority, “empowering” individual lawmakers and making security for them
and their families a priority.

Jeffries previously served as the fifth-ranking House Democrat, a post from
which he regularly dispensed jabs at Trump and Republicans, including while
traveling to raise money and stump for Democratic colleagues. There’s no
indication he plans to tamp that down in his new post as minority leader.

“It's my hope that we will not see on the Republican side of the aisle a MAGA
fire sale," Jeffries said in mid-December about Republican Representative Kevin
McCarthy’s speaker race.



Social and economic issues are a big part of his legislative repertoire,
including affordable housing and criminal justice reforms. He’s a member of the
liberal Progressive Caucus, but has also cultivated relations with the business
community, including New York’s finance industry. The securities and investment
industry is his biggest donor, followed by real estate and insurance. Tensions
with far-left House members have surfaced over defending moderate party
incumbents against primary challenges. Jeffries has worked to bridge
differences.

Jeffries can sometimes sound robotic. But his cerebral, scholarly arguments can
also deliver captivating pop-cultural references. Few others are likely to ever
recite lyrics from the late rapper and Brooklyn native — The Notorious B.I.G. —
to score points in the way Jeffries has on the House floor and even during
Trump’s second impeachment trial. “And if you don’t know, now you know,” he
said, quoting Biggie’s song “Juicy” on the Senate floor. —Billy House

Court, on Dec. 6. Photographer: Sarah Silbiger/Bloomberg


REP. PRAMILA JAYAPAL

Progressive Wrangler



The Washington Democrat suffered some missteps along the way, but she gained a
reputation as a skilled negotiator and built working relationships between the
party's liberal wing and the moderate White House that resulted in executive
actions on student loan debt and the so-called “family glitch” in the Affordable
Care Act.

“It’s not always that we’re on the same page, but we are very respectful of each
other,” Jayapal said in an interview. “We’ve been working very closely,
sometimes behind the scenes, to really enact these kinds of strong
administrative changes.”

On Capitol Hill, Jayapal, 57, unified progressives behind legislation that
excluded some of their priorities — including the expansion of the child tax
credit and free community college — to get others across the finish line. She
introduced some 40 bills in the last Congress, with most focusing on progressive
issues like health, civil rights, immigration and labor.



Even with Republicans in charge, Jayapal’s priorities remain largely the same —
Biden’s economic agenda, codifying Roe v. Wade, voting rights and worker
provisions, including a $15 minimum wage. She also hopes to get some bipartisan
antitrust and immigration legislation passed.

Jayapal causeds a stir in October when progressives sent an ill-timed letter to
President Joe Biden asking him to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir
Putin for an end to the war in Ukraine. The White House has said that there
would be no talks with Russia without a decision by Ukraine to pursue them.

Signatories distanced themselves from the letter, asserting it was drafted
months prior and they no longer supported the stance. Jayapal quickly retracted
the letter and said she took responsibility as CPC Chair.

That mistake may have hurt her chances for a longed-for leadership post, but
Jayapal proved her resilience when she was reelected chair of the 101-member
caucus. As for what is next, Jayapal says she’s looking for the places where she
can make the biggest difference.

“I'm used to people underestimating me,” Jayapal said. “It's a great superpower
to have because they don't know what hits 'em when I get what I need done.”

Murray, during an interview on Capitol Hill, on Dec. 15. Photographer: Ting
Shen/Bloomberg


SEN. PATTY MURRAY

No-Nonsense Negotiator



When President Joe Biden called to congratulate her after winning reelection in
November, Murray cut right to the chase. “I said, ‘thank you very much. Now we
need to get child care done,” she told Biden. “I hear about it everywhere I go.”

Her other priority this year: blocking Republican attempts to put new limits on
abortion rights after the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. “The
chaos of that decision is not going to go away,” Murray, 72, said.

As the chair of the Senate Health committee, Murray, 72, was a key architect of
the Biden economic agenda and played a significant role in lowering drug prices
in the Democrat-only bill. But Murray has also been known to reach across the
aisle, making deals with Republican colleagues on budgetary and other issues.

Now, the senator is in line to chair the powerful Appropriations Committee,
where she’ll work with moderate Republican Susan Collins to avoid government
shutdowns. Indeed, the leaders of both appropriations committees are all women,
which Murray considers a reason for hope.

“Our country does not want any more chaos. They don’t. And it is on our
shoulders to work us to a place where in good order we can get things done,” she
said, dismissing the possibility of a market-ratting showdown over the debt
ceiling.

How she handles the Appropriations job could determine whether Murray ultimately
becomes the first woman to lead either party in the Senate. In January, she will
serve as president pro tempore of the Senate, a largely seniority-based post
that puts her third in line of the presidential chain of succession.

Murray demurred when asked if she has any ambitions to be the Senate's first
female majority leader. “I have never charted the path of my life,” she said.
“What I have done is do my job, work hard and fight for what I believe in.”

Methodology and Sources

All election percentages are based on the latest data for the 2022 results from
the Associated Press as of Dec. 12, except for Sen. Warner’s, which is for his
2020 reelection, and Sen. Murkowski’s, which reflects her 2022 percentage in the
third round of ranked-choice voting. Those two figures are from Ballotpedia.

Legislation sponsored and their subject areas are for the 2021-22 (117th)
session as of Dec. 12, based on information from Congress.gov. The subject area
“Congress” covers anything related to the legislative branch, including
committee assignments and other housekeeping matters, honorary resolutions for
deceased members, committee funding and congressional buildings and medals.
Subject areas for amendments are not included.

Party unity figures are based on Bloomberg Government calculations as of Dec. 12
and indicate the percentage of votes in which the member voted with his or her
party's majority when the two parties' House or Senate majorities voted opposite
ways.

With the exception noted below, data related to top donors and fundraising are
from OpenSecrets and reflect contributions to both the member’s campaign and
leadership PAC in the two-year House cycle or six-year Senate cycle ending this
year. For top-donor industries, the percentages reflect contributions reported
and categorized as of Oct. 28. Fundraising totals are as of Dec. 11 or 12.

Out-of-state fundraising percentages reflect itemized donations made to the
member’s campaign only (not to leadership PACs) on or before Oct. 19, 2022, for
the latest two-year campaign cycle (as reported on candidates’ pre-general
election filings) and for similar windows (up until about 20 days before
Election Day) for prior cycles.

Committee assignments are for the 117th Congress (2021-22). Leadership posts are
for the 118th Congress (2023-24) and, in some cases, have not been finalized.
