Democrats choose key leaders

There were no surprises today when the House Democrats gathered to begin selecting their leadership team for the next two years.

Re-elected without opposition were:

  • Frank Chopp (Seattle): House Speaker-designate
  • Pat Sullivan (Covington): Majority Leader
  • Eric Pettigrew (Seattle): Majority Caucus Chair
  • Kevin Van De Wege (Sequim): Majority Whip
  • Tami Green (Lakewood): Majority Floor Leader

The remaining members of the HDC Leadership team, including the Speaker pro tem-designate, will be elected at a future date.

The Speaker-designate and Speaker pro tem-designate must be elected by the entire House on the first day of the 2013 session.
