Missouri House Republicans met in the Capitol on Wednesday to select their leadership team for the upcoming legislative session.
The state Republican Party said in a news release that 111 Republican House members joined Speaker-Designee Dean Plocher, who was previously selected by the House Republican Caucus to serve as the next Speaker of the House.
The leadership team selected by House Republicans includes:
Speaker Pro Tem: Mike Henderson
Majority Floor Leader: Jon Patterson
Assistant Majority Floor Leader: Jamie Burger
Majority Whip: Hardy Billington
Majority Caucus Chair: Chris Dinkins

The 111 seats Republicans hold in the House make up a supermajority of the 163-seat chamber, making it easier to override vetoes. The party won 24 of 34 seats in the Senate.
