The Missouri Senate majority has chosen its leaders, including President Pro Tem Sen. Jason Bean, R-Holcomb; Majority Floor Leader Sen. Nick Schroer, R-St. Charles County; Assistant Floor Leader: Sen. Jill Carter, R-Granby; and Majority Caucus Chair Sen. Joe Nicola, R-Grain Valley.
Democrats flipped two Senate seats in the midterm election, yet a GOP majority remains. Ultra-conservative Freedom Caucus Chairman Nick Schroer gained power as a floor leader. He told Missourinet, “It’s no coincidence that now you have two leaders of the Missouri Freedom Caucus running the floor in the House and the Senate.” In the House, Rep. Darin Chappell, R-Rogersville, is the new floor leader.
Senator Schroer spoke with MIssourinet’s Ashley Byrd about the midterm outcomes and his plans for the coming session.
