Following the 2020 presidential elections, Dean Doug Elmendorf removed Stefanik from the advisory committees after refusing his request to resign.

"Moreover, these assertions and statements do not reflect policy disagreements but bear on the foundations of the electoral process through which this country’s leaders are chosen."
