From MorningSun.net:
Republicans in the Kansas Senate have picked the chairman of their budget-writing Ways and Means Committee as the next majority leader.
Lindsborg Republican Jay Emler was the only announced candidate for the majority leader’s job going into a Monday’s meeting of GOP senators at the Statehouse. Hutchinson Republican Terry Bruce dropped out of the race beforehand.
Emler was elected on a unanimous voice vote.
The majority leader sets the Senate’s daily debate calendar and runs party caucus meetings. The only higher-ranking position is Senate president.
