In our simulation metaverse, Trump is still president but Democrats are in the majority. If class enrollment remains steady, we will have a 5-5 ratio on Judiciary, but with the chair having two votes.
HELP and Judiciary got the most support, and several of you wisely mentioned the cast of characters as a reason for picking them. The class is not large enough to include every IRL member, but the roster below seems representative. You can see the real rosters here:

If you have suggestions for any names below that we could swap out for an actual member, let me know.
Note that Thune and Schumer are not actually on HELP, but we need the party leaders in the simulation. And both have taken many issue positions on the topics that HELP covers.
