Rep. Steve Shurtleff has been tapped by his fellow House Democrats to lead the caucus again next year after serving in the same position this term.
Thursday's vote was unanimous, as no other candidate was in the running.
Shurtleff, who’s serving his sixth term in the House overall, says he’s honored to continue his role as House Minority Leader.
“You know I take it as a vote that the Caucus believes I’m acting in the appropriate manner and serving the Caucus but more importantly serving the interest of New Hampshire," Shurtleff said.
The New Hampshire House Republican Caucus won’t pick its leadership until Nov. 30.
As it stands, four people are seeking the speakership: Incumbent House Speaker Shawn Jasper of Hudson, Rep. Laurie Sanborn of Bedford, Representative Carol McQuire of Epsom and Rep. Frank Sapareto of Derry.
Meanwhile, over in the Senate, Sen. Jeff Woodburn will remain as Minority Leader and Sen. Chuck Morse as Senate President.
