"Looking at the caucus it was going to be a pro-life person," said Rep. Cindy Ostmann, R-St. Peters. "I was a supporter of Carson Ross (the only black GOP House member). He's outside of the leadership group and he could have given us a new outlook. But, we have to get off this issue and get on to the day to day issues of the state. If we're going to be a majority party, we've got to start working together."
