Rep. Elise Stefanik has a seat at the House Republican leadership table again — filling a role that has been unused for more than a decade.

Stefanik, R-Schuylerville, announced on Wednesday that she will be the chair of House Republican Leadership. It’s a role that Stefanik said she will use to promote the Trump agenda.

“I am honored to be appointed Chairwoman of House Republican Leadership to lead House Republicans in implementing President Donald Trump’s mandate from the American people for an ‘America First’ agenda that includes securing our borders, strengthening our national security, growing our economy, and combating the scourge of antisemitism across our country,” she said in a statement.

Stefanik is also retaking her seat on the House Intelligence Committee and maintaining her seniority, and resuming her work on the House Armed Services Committee and the House Education and Workforce Committee. She will also take a seat on the Republican Steering Committee, which sets the goals and tasks for the Republican conference.

Stefanik had been chair of the House GOP Conference for three years before stepping down at the start of this congressional session, in anticipation of an appointment from President Donald J. Trump to be the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Trump reversed course on her nomination days before she was set to go to a final confirmation vote in the Senate last week, expressing worry that losing another House Republican vote would upend the chances they pass a budget resolution that’s been under development for months.

Trump left the door open to returning Stefanik to his Cabinet at a later date, and reports suggest he’s considering leaving the U.N. ambassador seat open rather than filling it, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio running point on U.N.-related issues.

Stefanik had all but walked away from her job in Congress ahead of her anticipated confirmation. Unlike other nominees Trump has pushed to add to his Cabinet, there were no real fears of a Senate vote against her nomination. Some of her team had resigned, others had identified themselves as employees for the U.N. ambassador on LinkedIn, and her district offices were emptying out, both of staff and equipment.

She’s spinning her operations back up, and has returned to commenting publicly on issues like Trump’s tariffs and antisemitism.

And now she’ll have significant influence over House GOP operations. Her position is one that’s been used infrequently by Republicans in leadership for a few decades.

Most recently, former Rep. Garret Graves, R-La., did the job for then-Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and helped to steer the fractious Republican conference after the 2010 elections and the Tea Party movement.
