GOP legislators name leadership teams

Republican leaders in both chambers announced their leadership teams Monday, with only slight changes from the previous legislative session.

In the state Senate, Republican Leader Dave Cogdill (R-Modesto) named Sen. Sam Aanestad (R-Grass Valley) Vice Chair of the Rules Committee, replacing termed-out Sen. Jim Battin (R-Palm Desert).

Sen. Mark Wyland (R-Carlsbad) retained a position as Assistant Leader, and Sen. Tom Harman (R-Huntington Beach) stayed on as Caucus Whip. Sen. George Runner (R-Antelope Valley) remained Caucus Chair.

Assembly Republican Leader Mike Villines (R-Clovis) named Assemblyman Cameron Smyth (R-Santa Clarita) to be his party Caucus Chair, replacing Assemblyman Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar), who was elected to the state Senate.
