WASHINGTON, D.C. (WWNY) – North country congresswoman Elise Stefanik is seeking another term in Republican leadership in the House of Representatives.
Stefanik is currently the Republican conference chair, a job she wants again. It’s the number three leadership position in the House.
In a statement, her campaign said Stefanik had the endorsement of the rest of Republican leadership and two-thirds of the conference.
She has opposition; Politico reports a first term congressman from Florida, Byron Donalds, one of two Black members of the Republican caucus, will also seek the conference chair job.
Stefanik must also first win re-election in her district this November, in order to return to Washington and seek another term in leadership. She’s opposed by Democrat Matt Castelli.
