Georgia Senate Republicans selected new leaders heading into the coming legislative session.
Sen. Tommie Williams, of Lyons, has been nominated for president pro tempore. The full Senate must vote on Williams when the legislature returns Jan. 12, but the chamber is controlled by Republicans.
Williams would replace Sen. Eric Johnson of Savannah, who's stepping down to run for lieutenant governor.
Sen. Chip Rogers of Woodstock will take the reins as Senate Republican majority leader.
