WASHINGTON (CNN) -- House Republicans chose to keep their leadership team intact Friday, a little more than one week after Democrats won the majority in the midterm elections.

Outgoing House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, was chosen for the No. 1 GOP spot in the 110th Congress, while Majority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Missouri, will remain in the No. 2. post. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Illinois, did not run for a leadership position.

Boehner vowed that GOP leaders would work hard to make sure Republicans win back the majority in 2008.

"I pledged to them to do everything I could to bring our team together and to work hard so that we can earn our way back into the majority," Boehner told reporters at a press conference in the Capitol.

Boehner defeated Rep. Mike Pence, R-Indiana, in the race for minority leader and Blunt beat Rep. John Shadegg, R-Arizona, to become minority whip. Both Pence and Shadegg are members of the Republican Steering Committee, a conservative group within the conference.

Rep. Adam Putnam, R-Florida, was elected as conference chairman -- the No. 3 leadership position. Putnam, who at 32 is set to begin his fourth congressional term, said the House GOP will offer a 'forward-looking' agenda.

"We are a unified team, forward-looking, concerned about our future with a vision for a brighter tomorrow," Putnam said.

House Republicans also elected four other members to round out their leadership term:

Policy Committee Chairman: Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, R-Michigan
Conference Vice-Chair: Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas
Conference Secretary: Rep. John Carter, R-Texas
NRCC Chairman: Rep. Tom Cole, R-Oklahoma
