Oregon Senate Republicans have elected the remaining leadership positions in their leadership team ahead of the 82nd Legislative Assembly.

Senator Tim Knopp of Bend was already elected to continue as Republican Leader at a caucus retreat last month. The team now includes deputy leaders Dick Anderson, Lynn Findley, and Kim Thatcher. Dennis Linthicum is now the Whip.

Knopp said the leadership team is made up of high-quality individuals representing many parts of Oregon. Knopp said, “This is a strong team and I look forward to working together to serve our caucus through this next session as we seek to provide Oregonians with bipartisan solutions to the chronic problems exacerbated by years of one-party rule. I am confident we can do that this session”.
