November 05, 2014 | 10:41 AM
House Agriculture Committee ranking member Collin Peterson, D-Minn., won re-election to the House of Representatives, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported late Tuesday.
Peterson is expected to stay as ranking member but he may lead a smaller number of Democrats on Agriculture because Republicans have increased their numbers in the House nationwide.
In the current Congress there are 233 Republicans and 199 Democrats and there are 46 25 Republicans and 21 Democrats on the House Agriculture Committee.
In the next Congress there are expected to be 250 Republicans and 185 Democrats.
