House Republican Conference Chair 2021-2025 · U.S. Representative NY-21 2015-present · Withdrew as U.S. Ambassador to UN nominee April 2025 (House-majority math) · Harvard B.A. · Youngest woman elected to U.S. House at 30 (2014)

Drag: M09 Score 2 named anchor — sustained moderate-Republican voting record + 2019 Trump impeachment defense + 2021 House Conference Chair role replacing Cheney represented extreme public-position reversal (Harvard student R-Center Director under George W. Bush administration + 2015-2018 moderate voting record → 2019-2025 sustained Trump alignment). M01 Score 4 — voted against certification of Pennsylvania electoral count January 6, 2021 + sustained 2020 election-fraud framing through 2024; M02 Score 3 sustained party-over-country pattern; M07 Score 3 sustained silence on Trump conduct + role replacing Cheney directly because Cheney refused. December 2023 University Presidents hearing (Harvard/MIT/Penn) sharp questioning produced major political moment but framing was performative.
