House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick was re-elected for a third term as House majority leader at a meeting of the House Republican Caucus Wednesday morning.
Rep. McCormick said, “Serving as majority leader has been a tremendous honor over the last four years. I am humbled by the continued support of my colleagues, and I look forward to continuing our work to ensure that Tennessee remains an excellent place to live, work, and raise a family.”
The House majority leader serves as the chief officer and negotiator for the House Republican Caucus and is also responsible for carrying the governor’s legislative package every session. Leader McCormick has served as majority leader since the Republicans gained a majority in the Tennessee House of Representatives in 2010.
