A Lamb among congressional lions: Freshman survives first day on Capitol Hill
WASHINGTON – If not for the freshly pressed suit and the lapel pin identifying him as a member of Congress, it would have been understandable to mistake Conor Lamb for a tourist.
He walked toward an escalator leading to an underground subway from the Capitol to the House office building, paused to get his bearings, and pondered which way to go.
“Lamb, are you lost?” U.S. Rep. Juan Vargas, D-Calif., asked as he redirected Congress’ newest member onto an elevator leading back toward his office in the Rayburn House Office Building on Tuesday.
Mr. Lamb, 33, spent much of the day reviewing upcoming legislation, meeting with his staff, getting his committee assignments – Veterans Affairs and Science, Space and Technology -- and setting up his new cell phone that as of early Tuesday had only one phone number stored in it, an essential one – chief of staff Craig Kwiecinski’s.

I'll get to vote for Lamb in the next election, I live in the seventeenth!
