The five Republicans who make up the Kentucky Senate Majority Caucus leadership will continue serving in their current roles for the 2027-28 biennium after drawing no challengers.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve not only my district but all of Kentucky as Senate President,” said Sen. Robert Stivers of Manchester. “I think about the people back home, the colleagues who’ve entrusted me with this gavel and the generations who will live with our decisions. Leading this chamber is an extraordinary privilege. I don’t take it for granted, and I intend to bring the same commitment to these next two years that I’ve brought to every year as Senate president.”
Senate President Pro Tem David Givens of Greensburg said, “This Senate means a great deal to me. Colleagues have become dear friends, and their trust means more than I can adequately express. I value being able to sit down with people I respect and work through a difficult question together. I’m grateful to keep serving alongside them and to help give Kentucky’s children more opportunity.”
“When I first took this job, I said I wanted to make it my own,” said Majority Leader Max Wise of Campbellsville. “I want our members to know they can bring me an idea, a problem or a tough fight and I’ll stand with them. The best part of this job is helping a colleague get something done for the people back home. Their confidence means a lot to me. I’m proud to keep leading this team.”
Majority Whip Mike Wilson of Bowling Green pointed out, “My faith calls me to serve others, and that’s how I try to approach this job. Sometimes that means a quiet conversation, listening to a concern or helping a colleague work through a difficult decision. I want our members to know they can count on me. It’s a blessing to serve Kentucky.”
Majority Caucus Chair Robby Mills of Henderson offered his reaction on being re-elected: “Working in local government and running a small business taught me how personal public policy can be. A decision in Frankfort can affect whether a family can afford a home or an employer can hire another worker. Those are the people I think about when our caucus sits down to work. I appreciate my colleagues asking me to keep bringing that experience to our leadership team.”
