Rep. Lisa McClain of Michigan has been elected as the House Republican Conference Chair for the 119th Congress. Her colleagues chose her for this leadership role, making her the fourth most senior Republican in the House and the highest-ranking woman in Congress.

Following her election, McClain expressed gratitude and outlined her vision for the role. "It is an honor to be selected by my Republican colleagues to represent our Conference as their Chairwoman," she stated. She emphasized the importance of unity within the party and expressed a commitment to working with members across the spectrum of their Conference.

McClain highlighted that the American people have given their party a mandate to lead and advance President Trump's agenda. She noted, "Our message of economic stability, safety at home and abroad, and returning to traditional American values resonated with Americans who have traditionally not supported our party."

In her new position, McClain aims to amplify voices within the Conference and reach beyond traditional audiences. She stated, "Leading this Conference as Chairwoman, I will listen just as much as I speak, unify our members with a simple, unified message, and empower our members to champion passage of our America First policies."

McClain concluded by expressing enthusiasm for her new role: "I am excited to get started telling the story of America’s next chapter of greatness."
