Nine GOP senators have issued a statement saying they voted against allowing Sen. John McGee to keep his caucus chairman post, during a closed caucus last week. "Various news reports have led many of our constituents to mistakenly conclude that all members of the Senate GOP Caucus voted to affirm support for Sen. McGee continuing as our caucus chairman," the senators wrote, "and thereby protect him from the consequences of his action. This is not accurate."

The nine who signed the statement saying they voted against McGee, who are a minority of the 28 caucus members, are Sens. Russ Fulcher, Monty Pearce, Chuck Winder, Dean Mortimer, Sheryl Nuxoll, Shirley McKague, Lee Heider, Mitch Toryanski, and Steve Vick. You can read their full statement here.
