Martin to Resign Seat at End of Legislative Session

Rep. Scott Martin will step down at the end of the legislative session to begin his new job as CEO of the Norman Chamber of Commerce. His resignation will be effective May 31.

“It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the people of House District 46 for the last 11 years in the Oklahoma Legislature,” said Martin. “Due to term limits, I knew my legislative tenure was coming to an end. As I contemplated life after the Legislature, I was certain I wanted to continue to be part of something that would have a lasting impact on my family and community. The Norman Chamber of Commerce is an organization that makes such a difference.  Therefore, when the opportunity with the chamber presented itself, I decided to do something I had not previously considered, end my term prior to its natural expiration.”

Once the Norman Chamber decided to hire Martin, he worked out a plan with them to continue serving his constituents until the end of the legislative session.

“As I discussed this opportunity with the chamber search committee, I expressed my sincere desire to extend my service through this legislative session so that my constituents would continue to have their voice heard and represented until the very last vote is cast. My passion for education, public safety, transportation, and healthcare hasn’t waned, and I will fight to the bitter end to make sure my constituents have a strong and steady common-sense voice at the Capitol. It’s the least I could do for people who have entrusted me with the privilege of representing them for so many years,” said Martin.

He’ll begin the new job on June 1.
