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.
