Women are on the verge of a breakthrough on the House Appropriations Committee
, according to Jennifer Shutt at Roll Call. "Texas Republican Kay Granger and New York Democrat Nita M. Lowey are both vying to become the House Appropriations Committee's first chairwoman. And while only one of them can claim that title, if the other is named ranking member for the 116th Congress, they would make history together by being the first women to co-lead a standing House committee...since the Select Committee on the House Beauty Shop was eliminated in 1977."
