OKLAHOMA CITY – Today, Oklahoma House Democratic Leader Cyndi Munson, D-Oklahoma City, released the following statement regarding last night’s election results for House Democrats.

“For the second election cycle in a row, House Democrats are welcoming back every Democratic member who ran for re-election and adding new members to our caucus,” Leader Munson said. “Our members on the ballot worked hard communicating with their constituents on their doorsteps and I’m excited to continue working with them to protect women’s reproductive rights, fight for public schools by standing up to our State Superintendent, and build an economy that works for everyday Oklahomans.

“Our candidates ran strong campaigns and, with the support of our caucus infrastructure, shared a clear vision for Oklahoma’s future that has and will continue to make a difference in our state going forward.

“I’m especially excited to work with our three new incoming members: Rep.-Elect Michelle McCane, D-Tulsa, Rep.-Elect Ronald Stewart, D-Tulsa, and Rep.-Elect Ellen Pogemiller, D-Oklahoma City. They bring a diverse range of experience and backgrounds in education, public service, and nonprofit leadership to our caucus, and I look forward to their contributions to the Oklahoma House of Representatives and our state.”
