2/27/17 Group Watch: House Majority Leader Steps Down
After six years in the position, Representative Micky Hammon of Decatur confirmed in a press release that he was stepping down as House Majority Leader once his replacement is elected. Hammon was elected to the House in 2002 and as Majority Leader in 2010. Hammon said he will continue to be a proud member of the Republican team and will do everything in his power to help pass the party’s agenda and other conservative reform measures. Earlier this month, the Democratic Caucus elected Rep. Anthony Daniel of Huntsville as the new Minority Leader. Hammon said it was time for the House Republicans to have new leadership as well.
