House approves legislative reorganization bill

Newly elected Republican Rep. David Jolly of Florida strides to a ceremonial swearing-in with House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, March 13, 2014. Earlier this week, Jolly edged out Democrat Alex Sink in a special election that Republicans cast as a referendum on President Barack Obama and his unpopular health care law. The Tampa-area district had been considered a toss-up. Jolly fills the open seat that had been held for decades by Republican C.W. Bill Young who died in October. The 41-year-old Jolly has long experience in Washington, first as an aide to Young and then as a lobbyist. Republicans now hold 233 seats in the House to the Democrats&#8217; 199. There are three vacancies. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
