The Georgia Senate Republican Caucus has renominated Butch Miller as the chamber’s president pro tem and reelected the rest of its leadership team for another term.
Miller survived a challenge from state Sen. Burt Jones, a Jackson Republican. Almost all of the Senate Republican leadership team will remain the same.

Senate Majority Leader Mike Dugan, a Carrollton Republican, will serve a second term as the party’s leader and state Sen. Steve Gooch, R-Dahlonega, will return as the party whip.
New to the leadership lineup is state Sen. Dean Burke, a Bainbridge Republican, who will serve as the caucus’ secretary. He is replacing Toccoa Republican state Sen. John Wilkinson, who will not return next year after a failed run for U.S. Congress.
The Senate will vote in January to officially reelect Miller, R-Gainesville, as president pro tem.
