GOP Reps Call For “Autopsy” On Disastrous Midterms

The Hill reports:

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is calling on incoming House GOP campaigns chief Tom Emmer (R-Wis.) and the rest of the leadership team to conduct an autopsy to find out what went wrong for Republicans in the disastrous 2018 midterms.

In a “Dear Colleague” letter obtained by The Hill, Stefanik and other allies wrote Monday that the “disappointing results” of the November election “require an honest, transparent assessment of the structural operations and decision-making process that led to our party losing an historic number of seats.”

Stefanik’s chief of staff, Anthony Pileggi, a former NRCC staffer, circulated the letter on Monday to GOP offices. In addition to Stefanik, it was signed by Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), as well as Reps. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) and Kevin Yoder (R-Kansas), who both lost their reelection bids.
