Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) is running for House Republican conference chair, according to The Hill, which reported that a source familiar with the matter confirmed to the outlet that Steube is entering the race.
The Hill said his entry sets up a three-way contest between Steube, Rep. Erin Houchin (R-Ind.) and Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.), whom the outlet described as the current head of the conference.
Politico separately reported that Steube is the "third member to enter the contest" for GOP conference chair. Its headline refers to a No. 3 spot in House GOP, a phrase the excerpt available for this story does not explain.
Each report identifies the candidates by party and state. The Hill's summary lists Houchin as representing Indiana and McClain as representing Michigan, and it identifies Steube as representing Florida.
The two accounts describe the field the same way, naming Steube, Houchin and McClain as the contenders. The Hill's excerpt begins to describe the duties of the conference chair but ends before stating them, so this story does not report on that role.
Neither excerpt states when the leadership contest will be decided, how the members will vote, or whether additional candidates are expected to enter. The Hill's report was written by Sudiksha Kochi, and Politico's was written by Mia McCarthy.
Further details about the race were not included in the material used for this story.
