Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) was reelected Tuesday by a majority of her Republican colleagues to serve as House GOP Conference chair in the next Congress.
Stefanik was first elected to the role, the third-highest ranking position within the GOP Conference, after Republicans ousted Rep. Liz Cheney in May 2021.
Cheney, who has been vocally hostile toward former President Donald Trump since the 2020 election, was removed from her leadership position after ceaselessly criticizing Trump for his perceived role in spurring the January 6 Capitol riot.to restore a “unified leadership team” within the conference. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, and House GOP Conference chair Elise Stefanik at the U.S. Capitol, September 29, 2022.
The newly reelected chairwoman noted in her statement Tuesday the success Republicans saw in her blue home state during last week’s midterms. Stefanik said New York’s, an outlier in an otherwise mostly disappointing midterm election for the GOP, served as evidence that constituents are seeking “an alternative to Democrats’ failed, Far Left policies.”
“As we saw clearly across my home state of New York, the American people cannot afford Democrats’ reckless spending and want an alternative to Democrats’ failed, Far Left policies,” Stefanik said. “House Republicans have solutions and are ready to prosecute the case against Joe Biden and his failed radical agenda.”
