Representative Bass Plays Lead Role in House GOP Leadership Reform

By Julie Donnelly on Wednesday, January 25, 2006.

Republicans in the US House of Representatives plan to hold leadership elections next week to replace indicted former majority leader Tom Delay.

NH Congressman Charlie Bass will be stumping for a conservative Arizona Republican he says will clean up Congress.

The second district Republican has put himself front and center in the debate on reforming ethics in the House.

He and other Republicans hope cleaning house now means they won't lose control of the House come November's election.

NHPR correspondent Julie Donnelly reports from Washington.
