Rep. Lisa McClain will seek the fourth-ranking House position of Republican conference chair after Rep. Elise Stefanik was tapped for United Nations ambassador.
Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., is running to lead the Republican conference in the next congress, officially announcing after the current chair was tapped for a top Trump administration role. 'The modern Republican Party personifies my home state of Michigan and delivered Republicans the White House, Senate, and House majority,' McClain said in a statement shared first with Fox News Digital.
The conference chair, the fourth-ranking position in the chamber, will preside over conference meetings and day-to-day operations for Republican members of the House. With Stefanik, who has held the position since replacing former Rep. Liz Cheney in 2021, stepping into the Trump administration, a race for the chair position remains wide open. Also reportedly running for the position is Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., and Rep. Erin Houchin, R-Ind. In a Dear Colleague letter, shared first with Fox News Digital on Monday, McClain made her case for the position.
