A lot has happened this week in the House GOP leadership race.  Representative Green has decided not to run for Leader, instead he intends on trying to retain his position as whip.  

Representative Meekhof has likewise withdrawn from consideration.  He has thrown his support behind Rep. Elsenheimer and is now the leading candidate for Assistant Leader.

I have also heard uncomfirmed reports that Rep. Proos will not run for leader but will instead try to retain his position as caucus chair.

So at election time tomorrow the race for leader will be between Elsenheimer and Rep. Calley for sure, with Rep. Proos as a possible third candidate.  With Rep. Meekhof throwing his support behind Elsenheimer it looks as he will have enough votes to secure the position.

Rep. Meekhof seems to have locked up enough support for the position of Assistant Leader, but he is facing challenges from two incoming House members, Jase Bolger and John Walsh.

Representative Hildenbrand is running for re-election as Floor Leader.  Rep. Meltzer had been considering a challenge for this position, but I don't know if she has made a final decision.

If Rep. Proos does not run for Leader he will surely run for re-election as caucus chair.  He faces a challenge from incoming Representative Eileen Kowell, and possibly from Rep. Goeff Hansen, but that is unconfirmed.

The race for Minority Whip is between Rep. Green and Rep. Marty Knollenberg.  There is also a possibility of one or two incoming House members running for this position.

If there are any candidates that I missed let me know in the comments.  I've been talking to a lot of people around the House Office Building about these elections, but I'm sure I don't have 100% of the information.
