The Senate Republican Caucus reelected Senator David Hann (Eden Prairie) as Leader, a position he has held since 2012. Senator Gary Dahms (Redwood Falls), Senator Paul Gazelka (Nisswa), and Senator Warren Limmer (Maple Grove) were also reelected as Assistant Leaders, all having served in the previous biennium. Senator Michelle Benson (Ham Lake) was also newly elected as Assistant Leader, and she has previously served in that position.
“Senate Republicans look forward to continuing our work in January, and are committed to working with the new House Republican majority to advance new ideas and improve the lives of Minnesotans over the next two years. We also intend to be a needed check on Governor Dayton and the Senate Democrats now that Minnesotans decisively voted to restore balance and end one-party rule at the capitol,” said Republican Leader David Hann.
