Having won a tight race, Virginia's Sen. George Allen is in his freshman Senate term. The eldest son and namesake of the late Redskins coach, he was previously the state's governor. Allen was tapped to lead the GOP's tech task force and to chair the Commerce Committee's technology subcommittee. As National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair, he has the task of expanding his party's slender Senate majority. Allen also sits on the Foreign Relations and Small Business and Entrepreneurship committees.
