Minnesota Senate adopts resolution naming caucus leaders
Summary
The Minnesota Senate adopted Senate Resolution No. 2, designating Senator Aaron Murphy as DFL leader and Senator Johnson as GOP leader, by voice vote.
The Minnesota Senate adopted Senate Resolution No. 2, which designates Senator Aaron Murphy as the Senate DFL leader and Senator Johnson as the Senate GOP leader. Senator Johnson moved to adopt the resolution; the motion was approved by a voice vote.
The resolution was introduced on the Senate floor by Senators Aaron Murphy and Senator Johnson. Senator Johnson said, “This is a simple resolution that just memorializes the designation of the caucuses, leaders. So, this would be the senate DFL leader, senator Aaron Murphy, and myself for the GOP.” Senator Aaron Murphy then addressed members, saying, “Good morning and thank you mister president. I would ask, with hope and humility for your support.”
Senator Johnson formally moved to adopt Senate Resolution No. 2. The presiding officer put the question to a voice vote; the motion prevailed and the resolution was adopted. The Senate record does not include a roll-call tally for the adoption.
Senate Resolution No. 3 and Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 1 were mentioned later on the agenda and were referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration; no votes on those measures occurred during this session.
The resolution establishes the formal leadership designations for the session; no additional duties, authorities, or statutory changes were listed on the floor during the adoption.
Ending: The Senate proceeded with other routine business after adopting the resolution and later adjourned until the date announced by the presiding officer.
