Arrington chairs the House Budget Committee and Williams chairs the House Small Business Committee. Sessions chaired the National Republican Congressional Committee, Republicans' House campaign arm, from 2009 to 2012 and the House Rules Committee from 2013 to 2019. Jordan’s loss leaves an open field of potential candidates. Whoever puts their name up will need to convince a wide ideological spectrum of often antithetical viewpoints at a candidate forum at 6:30 Eastern time Monday.
Sessions staked his pitch on his performance leading the Rules Committee and the NRCC. While he was chair, the NRCC netted 63 seats in 2010 for Republicans, handing them control of the House. He wound up losing his seat in a competitive 2018 race to Rep. Colin Allred, D-Dallas, before winning it back again in 2020.
