Minnesota State Senator John Jasinski (Faribault) has been appointed deputy Senate Republican Leader, and Senators Keri Heintzeman (Nisswa) and Andrew Mathews (Princeton) have been appointed to serve as assistant leaders of the Senate Republican Caucus, Caucus Leader Jordan Rasmusson (Fergus Falls) announced today.

The appointments complete the Senate Republican leadership team, which will continue focusing on lowering costs for Minnesota families and holding government accountable.

“I am proud to have such a strong and experienced group leading the Senate Republican Caucus, and Minnesotans should feel confident that this team will deliver the results they expect,” Senator Rasmusson said. “We are united around a set of clear priorities: making life more affordable, protecting Minnesotans’ tax dollars, holding government accountable, and making Minnesota an easier place to live, work, and raise a family. We are eager to get to work.”

Senator Julia Coleman (Waconia), Senator Karin Housley (Stillwater), Senator John Jasinski (Faribault), and Senator Jeremy Munson (Lake Crystal) were elected to serve as assistant leaders last week.
