House Communications Subcommittee Chairman Rick Boucher (D-VA) lost his House race in a close contest with Republican Morgan Griffith. Chairman Boucher assumed office in 1983 and has been seen as a deliberative lawmaker on telecom policy. Democrats will need to figure out who should become their top member on the subcommittee. Candidates include Reps Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Ed Markey (D-MA).
Gigi Sohn of Public Knowledge writes, "Rep. Boucher, widely recognized as one of the most tech-savvy and intelligent members of Congress, has long been an advocate for consumers on a wide variety of communications and intellectual property issues."
