One Change in Senate Leadership
The House has not yet met, but Senate caucuses met and kept leadership largely the same in both parties.
2009 Republican Leadership (2008 Ranking, score)
President - Sen. David Williams (19, 70)
President Pro Tem - Sen. Katie Stine (1, 82)
Floor Leader - Sen. Dan Kelly (11, 71)
Caucus Chair - Sen. Dan Seum (7, 74)
Whip - Sen. Carroll Gibson (11, 71)
2009 Democratic Leadership (2008 Ranking, score)
Floor Leader - Sen. Ed Worley (31, 48)
Caucus Chair - Sen. Johnny Ray Turner (24, 58)
Whip - Sen. Jerry Rhoads (31, 48)
Sen. Rhoads as the Democratic Whip is the only change from 2008. He replaces Sen. Joey Pendleton in that position. Sen. Pendleton ranked only slightly higher than Sen. Rhoads in 2008 (28, 52), so the change in personnel does not reflect any change in policy.
