Summary
House GOP Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain rebuked a school board in Richmond, Michigan, for trying to remove a conservative colleague, Ray Steir, for missing meetings while on military deployment to the Middle East. Steir had been attending meetings remotely but lost virtual access. The board called for his removal, citing a “disservice” caused by his absence. McClain presented Steir with a commendation for his work, and Steir believes his case will refocus attention on the importance of the school board and its membership.
