Behind the Scenes: New Members of Congress Move to Washington

ABC News documents the transition to power for several newly-elected politicos.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4, 2011— -- One hundred and eight newly-elected members of Congress from across the country converge on Capitol Hill this week, opening their offices, taking the oath, and assuming seats in their respective legislative chambers.

In the process, members of the freshman class leave behind an ecclectic mix of former day jobs -- and many of the comforts of home in their districts. So what's it like starting a new life in Washington?

ABC News partnered with a handful of members, Republicans and Democrats, to document their journeys and the emotional moments along the way. Here's a glimpse from inside the operations of several incoming members and their paths to power:

Frank Guinta, 40, is among the youngest newcomers to Congress. The former New Hampshire state rep and mayor of Manchester ousted two-term incumbent Carol Shea-Porter in November. He's promising to get tough on spending and has proposed more than 50 cuts to federal programs, from privatizing Amtrak to imposing a ban on earmarks.

But first, Guinta has had to juggle logistics surrounding a big move to the nation's capital, spending hours over the holidays packing up boxes and preparing to split time between two cities.

"I'm helping my dad get ready to go to Washington, D.C.," Guitna's daughter said, seated at his old desk. "This is my dad's whole office in Manchester, New Hampshire."

Chris Coons, 47, was officially sworn in as the newest Democratic U.S. Senator from Delaware on Nov. 15. But with the official start of the new Congress, the former county executive who defeated Tea Party favorite Christine O'Donnell in the general election is likely to weild new influence as a member of the Armed Services, Foreign Relations, Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees.

Coons says one of the best perks of representing Delaware is close proximity to Washington. "I love riding the train, and I always meet new people," he said. "I get to come home most nights and be with my family."

But ask his daugher, Maggie, what most excites her about having a U.S. Senator as a dad, and she says its "this thingy that writes his name."

"It's called an autopen," whispered Coons.

Rep.-Elect Frank Guinta

But first, Guinta has had to juggle logistics surrounding a big move to the nation's capital, spending hours over the holidays packing up boxes and preparing to split time between two cities.

\"I'm helping my dad get ready to go to Washington, D.C.,\" Guitna's daughter said, seated at his old desk. \"This is my dad's whole office in Manchester, New Hampshire.\"

Sen. Chris Coons

Chris Coons, 47, was officially sworn in as the newest Democratic U.S. Senator from Delaware on Nov. 15. But with the official start of the new Congress, the former county executive who defeated Tea Party favorite Christine O'Donnell in the general election is likely to weild new influence as a member of the Armed Services, Foreign Relations, Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees.

\"It's called an autopen,\" whispered Coons.
