– Ted Yoho (Florida)
– Louie Gohmert (Texas)
– Paul Gosar (Arizona)
– Steve King (Iowa)
– Dave Brat (Virginia)

The official speaker’s election is set for noon on Tuesday, when the House will convene for a public floor vote to open the new Congress.
While the vote is usually just a formality, the hope of the anti-Boehner bloc is for enough Republicans to deny Boehner a majority of the vote, forcing him out of the race. Under the rules, that would likely require about 30 Republicans voting for someone else.
There have been reports Tuesday that as many as a dozen Democrats could skip the vote to attend former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo’s funeral. Snowy weather in D.C. could also prevent some from making the trip to the Capitol. Democrats missing the vote could give Boehner an easier time to win a majority of the votes cast.
