The Republican Steering Committee named the winners of four contested House chairmanship races on Jan. 9.

The committee includes several regional representatives who make determinations on committee assignments, including who receives the top spot on a committee. While the winners of uncontested chairmanship bids were announced in December, the panel held off on making picks for contested seats until the battle over the Speakership was settled.
