Today, Governor Kevin Stitt released the following statement after Senator Lonnie Paxton was voted as the Senate President Pro-Tem elect.
“Lonnie is a great Oklahoman and strong leader who cares deeply about the future of our state," said Governor Stitt. "He believes in our Top Ten agenda—and I look forward to working with him on cutting taxes, shrinking government, making Oklahoma the best state for businesses to thrive, and preserving the Oklahoma way of life. He is a proven conservative and will be a terrific leader for the Senate. I wish him the best as he takes on this new role, and look forward to the Senate’s new chapter under his leadership.”
