FILE--In this March 28, 2017, file photo, Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, leaves a closed-door strategy session with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and the leadership at the Capitol, in Washington. Like many states, Idaho doesn't have resign-to-run laws preventing office holders from dedicating time and resources to campaign for another position. However, that's not stopping some state officials from asking Labrador to leave Congress while he campaigns for the Idaho governor's seat.(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite file)

Rep. Raul Labrador, Idaho Republican, a long shot to become the next house majority leader, said Republicans that run the chamber gives staff in leadership offices more influence than it gives to regular lawmakers. He contrasted it with his time serving in the Idaho state legislature, where he said every lawmaker had influence, something he'd like to see in the House. (Associated Press)
