GOP state Senate leadership positions set; Clapp to caucus Thursday
By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com ReporterState Sen. Josh Penry (R-Grand Junction) appears set to be elected Senate Minority Leader at Thursday's Senate Republican caucus, said state Sen. Greg Brophy (R-Wray).
Brophy will be named assistant Senate minority leader, he said, while state Sen. Mike Kopp (R-Littleton) will be elected Republican Caucus Chair and state Sen. Nancy Spence will become Minority Whip.
Brophy said all of the positions have been decided on and didn't expect any contested leadership positions during the caucus on the third floor of Legislative Services Building Thursday morning.
State Senate District 26 Republican nominee Lauri Clapp will caucus and vote with the Republicans tomorrow, Brophy said, even though her race has not yet been decided. As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, Clapp led by 99 votes over Democrat Linda Newell.
In 2006, Bill Crane caucused with the Colorado House Republicans even though his race was too close to call; he eventually lost to state Rep. Sara Gagliardi (D-Arvada).
