Get ready for the conservative juggernaut in the Kansas House.
House Republicans, now with a commanding 92-33 advantage, elected leaders Monday to steer the GOP caucus during the 2011 legislative session that starts next month.
House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, was re-elected speaker without opposition. He predicted many conservative issues thwarted in recent years by a coalition of Democrats and moderate Republicans will now be passed.
Along with a pickup of 16 seats in the House in the last election, Republicans hold a 31-9 advantage in the state Senate, and most importantly, have wrested the governor’s mansion from Democrats and are set to swear in conservative Republican Sam Brownback.
