Pam Jochum will be the new Senate President, replacing Jack Kibbie (retired). Steve Sodders (Marshalltown) replaces Jeff Danielson as the President Pro Tem. Gronstal returns once again as the leader of the caucus (he's led in the minority and majority since 1997, as follows, I think: 1997-2002 minorityl 2003-4 split, 2005-present majority)
