Policy Committee)
In just three terms in office, McCotter has risen from freshman congressman to a driving force of the Republican Party's nationwide agenda.
Chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee since November 2006, this representative of Michigan's 11th Congressional District works with think tanks, party leaders and Republican supporters to develop the GOP's policy initiatives. It's an exclusive club: Past chairmen included former Vice President Dick Cheney, and ex-Reps. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.) and Christopher Cox (R-Calif.).
