Summary, Etc. "This book looks back at three of the biggest groups of new members to enter the United States House of Representatives in the last half century: the classes of 1974, 1994, and 2018. Members of these classes looked different from their more senior counterparts. They were younger, less experienced, and came from diverse backgrounds. Almost all of them campaigned with promises to reform the institution and enact change. Through the stories of these three classes, this book shows what changemaking looks like in Congress and how forces such as violence, money, and technology such as social media have altered the landscape for incoming lawmakers and made it difficulty to bring about change in the federal legislature"-- Provided by publisher.
