From Dispatch Politics:
Based on several factors, including strong fundraising and his overwhelming selection to take charge of the House Republican’s campaign fund, Dolan has been considered the front-runner.
But Batchelder, a respected 32-year legislative veteran, has repeatedly said that while Dolan has the support of most current legislators, several new members will join the caucus next year. Now, less than three weeks before the election, Batchelder sounds confident he will win the leadership.
Asked whether the leadership race will come down to whether certain Republicans win, Batchelder replied, “At this point, it doesn’t make any difference. We have more votes than they have.”
