Oklahoma Representative Mark Vancuren is resigning from the House District 74 seat to devote his attention to his new job as a Deputy Commissioner for Tulsa County’s District Two. Vancuren first elected to the House in 2018. He has served as Vice Chair of the House Common Education Committee during that time and says he’s proud of the achievements in education that lawmakers have made.
“I am especially proud of the substantial advancements we made in education during my time in office. As a former public school teacher and coach for 30 years, these changes are personal to me. We’ve made great strides in supporting our teachers and students, and I believe these reforms will leave a lasting impact on Oklahoma’s educational landscape for years to come,” said Vancuren.
The Owasso Republican’s resignation take effect on January 1, 2025.
“Serving the people of Oklahoma, and specifically House District 74, has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Vancuren said. “I am proud of the work we accomplished in the House during such a transformative period in our state’s history. From addressing budget deficits to securing a record $4 billion in savings, our efforts have positioned Oklahoma for a stronger, more stable future.”
