Senate Republicans will meet on December 3 to nominate a new Pro-Tem.
Senate Republicans met in Birmingham on Tuesday but postponed an expected vote on electing new Senate leadership. State Sen. Pro-Tem Greg Reed (R-Jasper) is resigning effective January 1 to serve as Gov. Kay Ivey’s senior advisor for workforce transformation.
Senate Majority Leader Steve Livingston (R-Scottsboro) and State Sen. Garlan Gudger are the two leading candidates to replace Reed.
“The Alabama Senate Republican Caucus will vote to nominate a new President Pro Tempore on Tuesday, December 3rd. The Caucus will be diligent and thoughtful in our process to nominate a new leader, and I am confident our choice will continue our momentum to make Alabama the best place in America to call home through conservative governance,” Reed said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Senate Pro-Tem is responsible for leading the Senate in its legislative and administrative functions.
