Liberal freshmen are quickly becoming power players in the Democrat-led House of Representatives; new Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez score seats on the powerful House Oversight Committee.

Ocasio-Cortez was already assigned a place on the Financial Services committee, giving the new Congresswoman broad influence in her first year.
