After the state House elections in 2018, Republicans gained a small majority in the chamber. When the House convened to commence its regular session in January 2019, a power struggle resulted in a lengthy delay in organizing itself. Eventually, all 15 Democratic members formed a coalition with the two independents including Bryce Edgmon (elected as a Democrat) and eight dissident Republicans to re-elect Edgmon as speaker, a total of 25 members.[2] In May and July 2019, Republicans Gabrielle LeDoux (District 15) and Tammie Wilson (District 3) left the coalition dropping its members to 23.[3][4]
