From Capitol Weekly:
Assemblyman Sam Blakeslee, a Central Coast Republican in his third term in the Assembly, is in line to replace Assemblyman Mike Villines on Wednesday as the GOP leader of the lower house.
The formal vote is expected to take place Thursday morning, but several Republican sources confirmed Blakselee is the choice of his caucus. He is not expected to take over as leader until June 1.
The choice of the Assembly’s 29-member GOP caucus was confirmed by a Republican lawmaker. A statement from Villines, R-Clovis, said he planned a “major announcement about his future” Thursday morning.
