The House of Representatives will swear-in its newest member representative-elect Janice Hahn, D-Calif., Tuesday afternoon.
She defeated Republican Craig Huey in a special election last week to succeed former Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif.
Hahn will be sworn-in on the House floor first and make a brief speech. Then there will then be a ceremonial photo op with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

240 Republicans193 Democrats
Two vacancies remain, as the seats held by former Reps. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., and Dean Heller, R-Nev., who is now in the Senate have yet to be filled.
