List of freshman class members of the 110th United States Congress

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 110th United States Congress began on January 4, 2007, when 10 new senators and 54 new representatives swore (or affirmed) to support and defend the United States Constitution.[1] The representatives comprise a diverse group reflecting the multiculturalism of the U.S. One representative graduated with a high school class of 25; another is said to have a net worth of $50 million. Backgrounds include teachers, musicians, authors, engineers, a vice admiral, and a professional football player. Religions include Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, and Islam (although none claim to be atheist or agnostic). When taking office, ages ranged from 33 to 66, placing the class mostly in the baby boomer and generation X categories.
