Speaker Chris Benge
The election went to a second ballot in which he faced Dale DeWitt with Susan Winchester apparently running third.
The full house will take a vote later Monday.
Benge, 45, has been chairman of the powerful House Appropriations and Budget Committee.
The GOP Caucus retained Speaker Pro Tem Gus Blackwell in that position even though he withdrew as a candidate for speaker when it was revealed he'd been late in paying property taxes in Texas County.
