Everything about The Gang Of Seven totally explained
The
Gang of Seven refers to a group of Republican
U.S. Representatives, elected in

House banking scandal and the
Congressional Post Office Scandal. They also criticised Congressional perks such as subsidies for the Capitol Barbershop and Senate Restaurant.
The seven Representatives were:
Since then, three of the seven left Congress after being defeated: Riggs, Santorum (who lost a re-election bid for U.S. Senator), and Taylor. Klug chose not to run for re-election in November 1998. Nussle choose not to run for re-election in 2006, instead he ran for governor of
Iowa, he lost to Democrat
Chet Culver. Doolittle, accused of involvement in the
Jack Abramoff scandal, is retiring at the end of 2008.
Boehner is thus the only one of the seven to remain in office. In February 2006, he became
House Majority Leader. After the November 2006 election, when the Republicans lost control of the House, he became the
House Minority Leader.
