Senate President Pro Tem Greg Treat has designated Senator Warren Hamilton as his appointee to the Strategic Military Planning Commission. Hamilton served in the U.S. Army and is the vice chair of the Senate Military Affairs Committee.
“I greatly appreciate Pro Tem Treat for appointing me to this position,” Hamilton said. “As an avid supporter of our troops and as a veteran myself, I look forward to using my military experience to advocate for our service members, put further protections in place for our state’s military instillations, and above all, continue fighting for our great nation.”
Treat says Hamilton’s military background led him to appoint him to the commission.
“The Oklahoma Strategic Military Planning Commission is essential to ensuring our military bases are working efficiently and protecting the interest of the communities and soldiers who are stationed in the state,” Treat said. “Senator Hamilton is uniquely qualified to serve on this commission. His courageous military service, continued dedication to Oklahoma veterans, and as the Senate vice chair on military affairs gives him the background, expertise and shows he has a true conviction to ensuring Oklahoma’s military installations are operating as proficiently as possible. I appreciate his commitment and for accepting this additional role.”
Hamilton will serve on the nine-member commission as an ex-officio member.
