House Democratic Leader Cyndi Munson, D-Oklahoma City, released a statement congratulating the new Speaker-Designate.
“Congratulations to Speaker-Designate Rep. Kyle Hilbert on this well-deserved honor and responsibility to serve our state. I look forward to working with him on bettering the lives of Oklahomans in this new capacity. Over the last several years, Rep. Hilbert and I have collaborated on issues important to all Oklahomans, most recently, addressing deferred maintenance on our RUSO and rural higher education institution campuses. I also want to extend my gratitude to Speaker Charles McCall for his leadership, mentorship, and friendship during my first two years as the House Democratic Leader – I know he’ll continue to serve our great state beyond his Speakership. As we move forward, I am ready to collaborate with Speaker-Designate Rep. Kyle Hilbert on helping all Oklahomans, especially those who feel unheard by their state government.”
