Senate President Pro Tempore Brian Bingman released the following statement in response to Senate Minority Leader Sean Burrage announcing he will not be seeking re-election next year.
I consider Sean not only a colleague but a personal friend and have enjoyed working with him in our leadership roles in the Senate in recent years. Sean is the utmost professional and has represented his district and his caucus with dignity and strength and will be missed in the Senate.
Our Republican caucus has always worked well with the minority caucus to represent Oklahoma and our constituents, no matter their political affiliation, and we look forward to doing so with whomever the Democratic caucus elects as their next leader.
