Assembly Republicans today selected Rep. Tyler August, R-Walworth, to serve as minority leader next session and Rep. Nate Gustafson, R-Omro, as assistant minority leader.
Gustafson faced Reps. Amanda Nedweski, R-Pleasant Prairie, and Brent Jacobson, R-Mosinee. None of the three were in leadership this session.
The results of the other races were:
- Caucus chair: Mark Born, R-Beaver Dam. The outgoing co-chair of the Finance Committee faced Rep. Shae Sortwell, R-Two Rivers, for the post. Rep. Rob Summerfield, R-Bloomer, served in that role this session, but dropped plans to run for it again ahead of today’s election.
- Caucus vice-chair: Joy Goeben, R-Hobart. She faced Rep. Cindi Duchow, R-Town of Delafield, who served in that role this session.
- Caucus secretary: Barb Dittrich, R-Oconomowoc. She faced Rep. Nancy Vandermeer, R-Tomah, who served in that role this session.
- Sergeant at arms: William Penterman, R-Hustisford. He faced Rep. Treig Pronschinske, R-Mondovi, who served in that role this session.
The caucus remained in a closed-door meeting this afternoon following leadership elections.
