House Republicans have re-elected Rep. Richard DeBolt of Chehalis as their caucus leader.

DeBolt was elected during a caucus meeting Friday. DeBolt was first elected as Republican leader in 2004, lost the position in 2005 and has held the leadership position continuously since 2006. Rep. Joel Kretz of Wauconda was reelected as deputy leader, Rep. Dan Kristiansen of Snohomish was re-elected as House Republican caucus chair, and Rep. J.T. Wilcox of Yelm was elected to serve as House Republican floor leader.

Senate Republican leadership elections will be held next Wednesday. Current minority leader, Sen. Mike Hewitt of Walla Walla, announced Friday that he wouldn't seek another term as leader. He has held the position since 2005. Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle, was elected as senate majority leader last week.
