Senate President Pro Tempore Cal Hobson Comments
On the Death of Former Senator Helen Cole

"Helen Cole was a woman of great dignity and character and was admired by members of both parties. She was very proud of her Native American heritage and her state. She loved public service and worked tirelessly on behalf of the people of her district. Her service on the Ethics Commission underscored Senator Cole’s commitment to making government in Oklahoma something of which our citizens could be proud. Her son Tom continues the family tradition of service in the U.S. Congress and our thoughts and prayers are with Congressman Cole and the entire Cole family."
