Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, will challenge Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) for the Republican conference chair position, only days after he suggested Stefanik’s voting record was too liberal for the position and encouraged his colleagues to consider leaving the post vacant if they couldn’t find someone with conservative values.
Roy, a two-term congressman and former chief of staff to Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Stefanik, the New York congresswoman endorsed by former President Donald Trump, both spoke to Republican members during a candidate’s forum on Thursday evening.
