OKLAHOMA CITY – Senate Pro Tem Designee Lonnie Paxton, R-Tuttle, today released the following statement after Tuesday’s election. 

“Oklahomans spoke loud and clear last night when the election results came in. They show a clear endorsement of our continued efforts to ensure safer communities, individual liberties and a growing economy for hardworking Oklahomans. I have had the pleasure to already meet and continue an open dialogue with all our current and new members of the Senate and I am proud to say we have a class of new Senators coming in who will help us build on our positive momentum. Collectively, we all support values that matter most to Oklahoma including protecting our rights and fostering an environment that believes in the future of this state. 

“I want to congratulate everyone who won their races last night in the Senate, House, our federal delegation and President Trump and Vice President Vance. Together we will build a stronger state and nation and uphold the trust the electorate has placed in us. Our best days are ahead of us, and we will continue to advance policies that make Oklahoma a better place to live, work and raise a family.”
