The Hill reports:
The votes were by and large anticlimactic, as the favorites in the three contested races triumphed. Rep. John Boehner (Ohio) defeated Rep. Dan Lungren (Calif.) for minority leader, Rep. Pete Sessions (Texas) ousted Rep. Tom Cole (Okla.) for National Republican Congressional Committee chairman and, as expected, Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (Mich.) retained his leadership post by winning more votes than Rep. Michael Burgess (Texas).
Vote counts were not released. The Sessions-Cole contest did not go to a vote, as Cole bowed out before a tally was taken on Wednesday . . .
