It likely depends on what specific committees you want to serve on. It would be pretty much impossible for her to serve on say the house intelligence committee (who oversees DIRNSA and ODNI etc) as there is no feasible way she will gain a security clearance. That might not prevent her from serving faithfully on non-classified committees doing dull but necessary things our bureaucrats do to run the government.
As far as I could find, there are four GOP congressmen running with records (sans Chelsea), and one Democrat:

- kakarot 9y agoThanks for the list, just thought I would point out there was a bit of momentary confusion over the phrasing "critical to" vs "critical of". The former implies the reporter was an important asset to Gianforte and that's how I parsed it at first.
