Following the withdrawal of Sevierville Rep. Andrew Farmer as a candidate for House majority leader, the only contested leadership race Republicans considered today was for caucus chair, with Jeremy Faison of Cosby prevailing over Robin Smith of Hixson. His election means there will be no changes to the leadership team, the Nashville Post reports. Here’s the full lineup: Speaker Cameron Sexton of Crossville, Speaker Pro Tempore Pat Marsh of Shelbyville, Republican Leader William Lamberth of Portland, Assistant Majority Leader Ron Gant of Rossville, Caucus Chair Jeremy Faison, Caucus Whip Johnny Garrett of Goodlettsville, Floor Leader Paul Sherrell of Sparta, Caucus Vice-chair Brandon Ogles of Franklin and Caucus Treasurer Mark Cochran of Englewood.
