Elise Stefanik returns to House GOP leadership and committees: 'Honored'

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced that Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) was appointed chairwoman of the House Republican leadership.

President Donald Trump pulled Stefanik’s nomination to serve as ambassador to the United Nations last month ahead of Florida’s two congressional special elections, saying it was “essential that we maintain EVERY Republican Seat in Congress.” While Republicans won both races, the House GOP still has a slim majority.
