Jenkins takes leadership role

Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins was elected conference vice chair of House Republicans.

She'll serve with Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, who was elected Chair.

Jenkins beat out Martha Roby of Alabama for the post.

I think this makes Jenkins number 5 in terms of power in the U.S. House, but I'm not certain.

Typically I think having more Kansans in leadership positions is a good thing, and then I think, but Bob Dole. Either way, congrats to Congresswoman Jenkins on the new gig.
