This morning, Senate Democrats elected new leadership to lead their caucus for the remainder of the session. Senator Mitzie Epstein will serve as Minority Leader, Senator Juan Mendez will serve as Assistant Minority Leader, and Senator Eva Burch will serve as Minority Whip. This comes just days after Senate Minority Leader Raquel Terán stepped down following an announcement that she will run for the open seat in Congressional District 3 when Congressman Ruben Gallego runs for U.S. Senate next year. Senator Rosanna Gabaldón, the former Minority Whip, stepped down to focus on issues directly impacting her district.

Below are the current leadership teams in both chambers.
