OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma House Democratic Leader Cyndi Munson, D-Oklahoma City, welcomed three new members to the House Democratic Caucus, Rep. Ellen Pogemiller, D-Oklahoma City; Rep. Ron Stewart, D-Tulsa; and Rep. Michelle McCane, D-Tulsa.

“Congratulations and a warm welcome to our new members Ellen Pogemiller, Ron Stewart, and Michelle McCane,” Leader Munson said. “I am excited to work with these incredible individuals and look forward to serving the State of Oklahoma alongside my House Democratic colleagues returning to the State Capitol. House Democrats will remain focused on lowering costs for working Oklahoma families, keeping public dollars in public schools, pushing back against harmful rhetoric and actions from our State Superintendent, and ensuring Oklahomans have access to the healthcare they need. The House Democratic Caucus is committed to putting Oklahomans first.” 

Pogemiller says she is honored to get to serve those in her district.

“It is a huge honor to serve House District 88 and carry their stories from their doorsteps to the steps of the capitol,” Pogemiller said. “I will work to improve the lives of those who have graciously entrusted me to serve them, specifically through efforts to increase access to affordable housing, community resources, and support for our public education systems.” 

Stewart looks forward to serving the district where he grew up.

“Being elected and given the opportunity to serve the very district in which I grew up is beyond exciting and an honor that I do not take for granted,” Stewart said. “Having intimate knowledge and personal relationships with the families, schools, businesses, and other constituents fuels my desire and commitment to serve them well.”

McCane says she is excited to bring her experience as an educator to the capitol.

“I am truly honored to have the privilege to serve the people of House District 72,” McCane said. “I look forward to using my teacher's voice to bring the voices of my district to the House floor and I am excited to get to work.”
