House Republicans officially elected their leaders today for the 111th Congress. Leadership will look fairly different in 2009, though Minority Leader John Boehner will remain the top Republican after holding off a long-shot challenge from California Rep. Dan Lungren.

The new team (with out-going member in parenthesis):

• Minority Leader: Rep. John Boehner, OH-8 (re-elected)
• Minority Whip: Rep. Eric Cantor, VA-7 (Roy Blunt)
• Conference Chairman: Rep. Mike Pence, IN-6 (Adam Putnam)
• Policy Committee Chairman: Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, MI-11 (re-elected)
• Conference Vice-Chair: Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, WA-5 (Kay Granger)
• Conference Secretary: Rep. John Carter, TX-31 (re-elected)
• NRCC Chairman: Rep. Pete Sessions, TX-32 (Tom Cole)

"House Republicans will rebuild our majority coalition by winning the issues that Americans care about most, one issue at a time," said Boehner, according to a released statement. "We demonstrated our ability to do this last summer when we stood with the American people for more American energy and lower gas prices, and won the issue. President-elect Obama has expressed a desire to govern from the center. At times, his party will make it difficult for him to do this. When he extends his hand in good faith to put the needs of the country first, Republicans will extend ours in return."
