Wellington senator will serve with Majority Leader John Morandi
MAVOCKE--Senate Nationalists elected Wellington Sen. Nadan Saralo (pronounced "Na-dawn Sa-rall-o) to be Assistant Majority Leader.
The first-term senator beat out Trinton Sen. Tim Blakewell for the number two post, and will serve with newly-elected Majority Leader Sen. John Morandi of Lial.
Saralo, who is of Jordanian descent, is the first non-white person to serve in a senate leadership position.
Speaking of his election, Morandi said he is "honored" to serve with Saralo.
"Nadan is someone I know I can trust and count on, and he will be a great deputy," Morandi told the NPF.
A statement from Saralo's Mavocke office said the senator is "prepared to join with John Morandi over the next two years to bring real change to the Senate."
The Wellington first-termer brings a more moderate tone to the leadership compared to Morandi's decidedly more liberal tilt. Saralo's selection will also bring a western perspective to NAT Senate leadership.
