Rep. Lisa McClain will serve as House GOP conference chair next year, making her the highest-ranking Republican woman.
McClain defeated Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) 146-67-1, with one person voting for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), according to two people familiar with the vote.
The Michigan Republican, who was first elected in 2020 and campaigned with other GOP leaders this year, will replace Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), who was tapped to serve in the incoming Trump administration.
The No. 4 spot in GOP leadership was the highest-ranking open slot this year, sparking a flurry of lobbying. Leaning into her efforts to turn the swing state of Michigan red, she ultimately defeated Cammack, who is also finishing her second term in the House.
