Senate President Pro Tempore-designate Mike Schulz on Wednesday announced committee assignments for Republican members of the Oklahoma State Senate.
Republicans hold 42 seats in the 48-seat Senate, the largest majority held by either party since 1965, when the Senate went from 44 seats to 48.
“The Senate Republican Caucus has a wide variety of expertise, experience and talent to draw from its members, and we’ll be putting those skills to good work on the Senate committees. Our goal is to work toward long-term solutions and policies that build a more prosperous Oklahoma,” said Schulz, R-Altus.
