Bingman Says Senate Republican Gains will
Boost Pro-Jobs Agenda
Statement from Assistant Majority Floor Leader Brian
Bingman
“Yesterday was truly an extraordinary day in the history
of our state in many ways. Republicans fielded an outstanding slate
of Senate candidates in all corners of the state, and they worked
hard to convey their pro-growth message that resonated with Oklahomans
across party lines. It was truly phenomenal to pick up six seats,
and we’re gratified by the response of the voters in the districts.
We had great candidates and they campaigned hard. It really paid
off, and it means we can move forward with our efforts to make Oklahoma
the best state possible for all our citizens.
“With a 32-16 majority and a Republican governor, we’re
in a strong position to promote an agenda that is all about creating
more jobs and smaller government. We’ll be able to pass strong
pro-Oklahoma legislation to strengthen our economy and move our
state forward.
“I look forward to working with our new members in service
to the people of the great state of Oklahoma.”
Sen. Brian
Bingman, Asst. Majority Floor Leader, R-Sapulpa
