House GOP Votes Stefanik as Replacement for Cheney

Contact Your Elected Officials

House Republicans on Friday elevated Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) to one of their caucusesโ€™ most powerful positions, two days after they ousted Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from the same post.

The House GOP voted Stefanik, 36, as House Republican Conference Chair over challenger Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas).

The vote, which took place behind closed doors, was 134โ€“46.

โ€œI want to congratulate Elise Stefanik and welcome her to the leadership team,โ€ House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told a press conference.

Roy, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, launched a last-second bid on Thursday, with supporters arguing he would better represent Republicans.

โ€œThereโ€™s a lot of hunger in the conference for slowing down, thinking through this, doing the right thing, making sure that weโ€™re advancing the right policies in the right message,โ€ he told reporters before the vote.

Stefanik said she was focused โ€œon unifying our conferenceโ€ after Cheney rankled most members by continuing to attack former President Donald Trump, who garnered a record-number of votes for a Republican candidate in 2020.

โ€œWe are unified at making sure that we win the majority [in 2022] and that we focus on the damage that the Biden-Pelosi agenda is doing across America,โ€ Stefanik told reporters late Thursday.

Stefanik thanked Trump in her remarks after winning the GOP Conference Chair slot: โ€œI also want to thank President Trump for his support. He is a critical part of our Republican team.โ€

Trump threw his weight behind Stefanik earlier in the week, calling her a โ€œgifted communicatorโ€ who โ€œhas experience flipping districts from Blue to Red as we approach the important 2022 midterms.โ€

He also panned the entry of Roy into the leadership race, claiming the Texan โ€œwill probably be successfully primaried in his own district.โ€
