Larry Alley (born September 23, 1948) is an American politician who has served in the Kansas Senate from the 32nd district since 2017.[1][2] Following the removal on April 9, 2021 of Gene Suellentrop from the office of Majority Leader, Alley, who was the Republican Assistant Leader, succeeded him in an acting capacity.[3] Rather than Suellentrop resigning his caucus position, Masterson had said most of Suellentrop's duties would be temporarily assigned to Alley, "...until matters that I am currently dealing with are resolved." His statement avoided addressing those allegations against him.[4] The Republican caucus elected him permanent majority leader at the end of the 2021 legislative session. Alley indicated his priority was focused on redistricting.[5]
