Reps.-elect Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) said that they believe that Republicans picked up more House seats because the GOP leadership improved its recruiting efforts to include women and minorities.
“One of the reasons why you saw so many women take office on the Republican side was because of the efforts of leader Kevin McCarthy, because of people like Elisa Stefanik, Liz Cheney, Steve Scalise who went out there and recruited qualified women who have something to share with the American people, and who have the experience in the background to be productive participants in the legislative process,” Malliotakis told CNN.
