We missed the press release, but the Austin American Statesman is reporting Senator Leticia Van de Putte was re-elected to chair the Senate Democratic Caucus.
The Senate Democratic Caucus today re-elected Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, as chair and Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, as vice-chair.
This will be Van de Putte's fifth term representing San Antonio in the Senate. Some will recognize from a her work nationally as the co-chair of the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
Senators Van de Putte, West and the other Democrats will have one new member this session-- Wendy Davis. With Davis, Democrats now have 12 seats in the Senate and greater unity to fight bad legislation like Voter ID.
Congratulations to Senator Van de Putte and West on there leadership posts.
