OKLAHOMA CITY — Sen. Rick Brinkley has been chosen by his colleagues in the Senate Republican caucus to serve as Majority Whip. Brinkley will coordinate with caucus members to advance measures through the legislative process.
“Oklahomans have entrusted Republicans with a historic majority in the state Senate, and we look forward to working on a variety of issues and initiatives to put us on a path to greater prosperity,” said Brinkley, R-Owasso. “I am honored to assume this responsibility and I look forward to working with each of our members to address the challenges and opportunities ahead.”
