GOP Caucus Unanimously Approves Williams
KENTUCKY...
Republican members of the Kentucky Senate unanimously voted on Saturday to give Senate President David Williams another term as their leader. The GOP caucus decided to keep in place all of its current leaders. They include Senate President Pro Tem Katie Stine of Southgate, Majority Leader Robert Stivers of Manchester, Caucus Chairman Dan Seum of Louisville and Whip Carroll Gibson of Leitchfield.
Earlier this week, Senator Julie Denton, R-Louisville, said she would run against Williams for Senate president, but she decided early Saturday to not enter the race. Denton, who chairs the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, had said it’s in Williams’ best interests not to be in leadership while running for governor in 2011. The top two positions, president and president pro tem, will be voted on by the entire 38-member chamber in early January.
