A local Senator will once again be leading the republican party.
Senator Devin LeMahieu of Oostburg was re-elected to his role as Senate Majority Leader, a position he has held for the past four years.
LeMahieu thanked his colleagues for their support, saying he is “honored by the trust they have placed in me to lead our caucus.”
As for the party’s plans moving forward, LeMahieu noted that the “number one issue we heard from voters was the effect of rising costs and inflation. Senate Republicans’ top priority will be returning the state’s surplus to hardworking families.”
