Freshmen Democratic Senators

Senator Conway won a caucus vote to become Majority Leader with the help of all 4 freshmen Democrats. In appreciation for their decisive margin, he meets with each one of them once a month (separately, one for each week of the month). At these brunches, the freshmen get unprecedented personal access to the Majority Leader, which represents one of their main sources of legislative influence.
