Today Senate Republicans elected their leadership team to guide the caucus in upcoming biennium. Senator Mark Johnson was re-elected as Minority Leader while Senators Julia Coleman, Gary Dahms, Karin Housley, John Jasinski, and Michael Kreun, and Jordan Rasmusson filled out the rest of the leadership team.

Sen. Johnson released the following statement:

“We elected a great team today and they are ready to work. Minnesotans elected the most balanced legislature possible: a one vote difference in the Senate, and a tie in the House. They expect us to have compromise and bipartisanship, and this leadership team is already planning for a great session to begin in January.”
