House Republicans are gearing up for leadership elections in the next Congress, with Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and Majority Whip Tom Emmer all running for their current roles uncontested. National Republican Congressional Committee Chair Richard Hudson is also seeking another term.
However, the No. 5 and No. 6 House GOP leadership positions are expected to see competition. Three representatives, Erin Houchin, Kat Cammack, and Lisa McClain, are vying for the House GOP conference chair role, as Rep. Elise Stefanik will not be running for re-election due to her appointment as ambassador to the United Nations.
