Foley is a democrat. He used to represent a district in Spokane, WA. Just ask WB

Yup- he was House Speaker for a number of years. Worst thing he did was some stupid post office scandal that involved his wife. Actually, he is a family friend- my mom worked for him and Scoop Jackson in the Sixties and Seventies.

Foley was the last Democratic Speaker of the House; it would be quite ironic if another Foley contributed to the return of a Democrat as Speaker
