Guthrie lands top GOP post on higher ed panel

This from Bluegrass Politics:

Freshman U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Bowling Green, landed the Republicans’ top position on the House Education and Labor Committee’s panel on higher education.

Guthrie, who replaces retired Republican Rep. Ron Lewis in Kentucky’s 2nd District, will start his congressional career as ranking member of the subcommittee on higher education, lifelong learning and competitiveness.

It’s rare for an incoming lawmaker to be appointed to a committee or subcommittee leadership post.
