Interesting look into why the GOP lacks a broader representation in Congress and why thats unlikely to change in the near future. In 1950, 98 percent of House Democrats and 97 percent of House Republicans were white men. In the 64 years since, that share has fallen 51 points for Democrats, but only 8 points for Republicans. Today, all but one of 20 GOP committee chairs in the House are white men. fivethirtyeight/features/after-the-midterms-the-diversity-gap-in-the-house-will-be-wider-than-ever/
