Four House Republicans break away from their own caucus to form a new one [View all]

Four Republican members of the Minnesota House are breaking away from their caucus to form their own group, exposing a rift in the GOP and potentially altering the political dynamics at the Capitol.

Reps. Steve Drazkowski of Mazeppa, Tim Miller of Prinsburg, Cal Bahr of East Bethel and Jeremy Munson of Lake Crystal released a statement Monday calling themselves the New House Republican Caucus.

In their statement, the members said they wanted more control over hiring and management of their own staff.

“We … believe this new caucus will allow our members to optimize our ability to serve our constituents and properly represent them at the State Capitol,” they said in the statement.
