CNN
On the heels of Rep. Liz Cheney's ousting from her leadership post Wednesday morning, Rep. Elise Stefanik was out with a letter to her colleagues outlining why she wants to fill the post.
"This week, I have had hundreds of productive and informative conversations with Members from all corners of our Conference. Today I humbly ask to earn your vote for House Republican Conference Chair to unify our message as a team and win the Majority in 2022," Stefanik wrote. Stefanik has been working the phones for days trying to convince members to back her and is the only candidate in the race, despite growing concerns from more conservative members of the caucus who have raised issues with her voting record.More Related News
