A STAR IS BORN
Another Michigan Congresswoman is a rising star in her party. Rep. Lisa McLain (R-Bruce Township, Macomb County) was elected by her fellow Republicans into a top leadership position, to replace former New York Rep. Elise Stefanik as the Republican House conference chair – which is the number four position following Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA). The leadership position opened up after President Donald Trump’s win in November, where he then nominated Stefanik to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. It’s a quick rise to leadership for McClain, who was first elected to congress to represent Michigan’s 9th District in 2020.
