Fox News
The House Republican Conference on Friday morning voted to elect Rep. Elise Stefanik as its chairwoman, sealing the New York lawmaker's ascent two days after the group ousted Rep. Liz Cheney amid strong tension over the party's future.
"I'm truly honored and humbled to earn your support to serve as our Republican Conference Chair," Stefanik went on to say. "I know we are all here to serve the people, the voters who place their trust and faith in us. You have put yours in me to serve this Conference and I will never lose sight of that. I will always work my very hardest to earn your trust every day." She added: "This will not be an easy job, but I know we are stronger when united as a team." Stefanik said she has spent the last several weeks speaking to Republican lawmakers, listening to their "feedback, goals and priorities."More Related News
