House Republicans will have a new leader next Congress since Speaker Paul D. Ryan is retiring, but will there be additional changes in their top ranks?

The answer to that question will depend in large part on whether Republicans can hold onto their majority in the November midterms, and if they do, how the speaker’s race unfolds.

Regardless of those outcomes, though, at least one lower-rung elected leadership position will be open with Republican Policy Committee Chairman Luke Messer of Indiana exiting the House after a failed Senate bid. The position of Republican Conference vice chair might also be open. Its current occupant, Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, is bidding to be the next Judiciary Committee chairman.

The other elected leadership positions include leader, whip, conference chair, National Republican Congressional Committee chair and conference secretary.

In the majority, Republicans would have eight elected leaders and in the minority they would have seven. But there may not be many crowded leadership races given that many GOP members are gunning for open committee chairmanships (or ranking member slots if they lose the House).
