The Republican Caucus as selected Representative Bruce Hanna as Co-Speaker.
From The Register Guard:
Oregon House Republicans have selected Rep. Bruce Hanna of Roseburg to be their co-speaker-designee for the 2011 Legislature, his office announced Wednesday.
Hanna, whose district includes eastern Lane County, has been the House Republican leader for the past two years while the Republicans were in the minority. Last month’s election resulted in a tie in the House, with 30 seats held by Republicans and 30 seats held by Democrats.
The chamber’s Democrats met Saturday and voted unanimously to select Rep. Arnie Roblan of Coos Bay to be their speaker or co-speaker-nominee for 2011.
