Conservative takes former Speaker Boehner's House seat

WASHINGTON — Republican Warren Davidson was sworn into the House on Thursday to take former House Speaker John Boehner’s long-held seat, elected with the backing of the same conservatives who helped drive Boehner from Congress. Davidson, 46, a former Army Ranger and businessman, became a cause celebre for conservative groups who craved the symbolic triumph of capturing Boehner’s old district in southwestern Ohio.
