Rep. Pete Sessions, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said he expects Republicans will pick up a net of five to seven House seats in November.
Speaking at a National Journal/Atlantic/CBS News event at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Sessions said Republicans put the necessary work in last year to defend new members who were swept into office in 2010 and have built an aggressive plan to maintain those gains. “I believe we will win a net of five to seven new seats across this country because we are playing offense not trying to protect what we have,” Sessions said.
