The President Pro Tempore of the State Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives are paid an additional $17,932 annually, and the majority floor leaders and the minority floor leaders of each House are paid an additional $12,364 per year. The Senate occupies the third, fourth and fifth floors on the east side of the rotunda in the state Capitol. Joint sessions are held in the House Chambers.

It is a role that we have held for more than 125 years, and as one of the largest chambers of commerce in the United States, we believe that our organization has an enormous impact in the political arena.
