PIERRE — Democratic caucus meetings in the State Capitol next session may have just gotten a little cozier.

Rep. Peri Pourier and Sen. Red Dawn Foster, district mates from District 27, have informed their fellow party members that they intend to break off from the official party caucus when the 100th legislative session kicks off in January. The move dwindles the number of lawmakers participating in the super-minority’s strategy session that happens at least daily during the legislative session from nine to seven.

Multiple policymakers in Pierre confirmed the shake-up to The Dakota Scout, including incoming Senate Minority Leader Liz Larson.
