House Speaker Kyle Hilbert Launches “Capitol to Community” Statewide Series

Oklahoma House Speaker Kyle Hilbert has launched a new initiative titled "Capitol to Community", a series of events held across the state over the interim with the goal of strengthening connections between legislators and the Oklahomans they serve.   The format of Capitol to Community will vary depending on the community, but the goal remains consistent: a full day on the ground, engaging directly with local leaders, businesses, educators and residents.   The first stop took place this week in Ada, Oklahoma, with Representative Ronny Johns, R-Ada, hosting members of the House Majority Caucus for a day-long visit focused on community engagement, listening and learning.   “This series is about stepping outside the Capitol walls and meeting people where they are," said Speaker Hilbert. "It’s about listening to local challenges, celebrating community successes and ensuring that our legislative goals align with the everyday needs of Oklahomans.”   The first stop of the day began with a meeting at the Chickasaw Nation Department of Commerce, where Governor Bill Anoatubby, among others, briefed attendees on major infrastructure projects and tribal-state partnerships. The group then visited East Central University for a “Lunch & Learn” focused on mental health challenges facing the region. A robust panel featured professionals from Project Aware, The Clinic, Brandon Whitten Institute, and more, offering perspectives on addiction recovery, school mental health programs, and behavioral health services.   In the afternoon, participants toured the ECU campus to examine deferred maintenance needs, followed by visits to the AMRIZE Cement Plant and the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET), which featured hands-on simulations used to train Oklahoma’s peace officers.   “As a lifelong Ada resident, I couldn’t be more proud to host this first event in House District 25,” said Rep. Ronny Johns. “This visit was a chance to showcase our community, but was a reminder of how impactful it can be when state leaders take the time to engage directly with local voices, including those from communities outside their home districts."   Speaker Hilbert emphasized that the series is just beginning. Additional stops in communities across Oklahoma are planned throughout the interim, with Broken Arrow and Woodward next on the list in August and September.

Speaker Hilbert Announces Approval and Assignment of Interim Studies

OKLAHOMA CITY – House Speaker Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow, today announced that the process for assigning interim studies to their respective committees has been finalized. Interim studies serve as a valuable tool for lawmakers to take a deeper look at topics that may require further review or data gathering before formal legislation is considered. Once assigned to a committee, meetings will be scheduled at the discretion of the committee chair. Speaker Hilbert stated that while interim study requests may be the priorities of individual members, a study may not necessarily indicate or reflect a formal priority of the House Republican Caucus. “These studies allow legislators to explore a wide range of issues,” said Speaker Hilbert. “Interim studies serve as an important tool in the toolbox of an individual or a group of legislators in preparing their policy initiatives for the 2026 session and initiating public buy-in. The interim study process provides an avenue for members to gather information, vet ideas and engage stakeholders.” The interim study period will begin on August 4, 2025, and conclude on November 6, 2025. For more information and a full list of approved studies, please visit the  Oklahoma House of Representatives website.

Newly-elected Rep. Kevin Norwood, R-Owasso, took his oath of office in the Oklahoma House of Representatives on Wed., June 18. He won a special general election earlier this month to represent House District 74 in Rogers and Tulsa counties. "Today has been an incredible day, and I’m deeply honored to represent the people of House District 74," Norwood said. "Serving my local community is a responsibility I take seriously. I truly love Oklahoma, and I’m committed to doing everything I can to make our state an even better place to live. I look forward to showing up every day and working hard to help our community thrive." Originally from Muskogee, Norwood has lived in Owasso since 1994, where he works as a youth minister. He holds a bachelor's degree in pastoral ministry from Southwestern Christian University and a master's degree in applied theology from Oral Roberts University. He earned his doctorate in leadership and global perspectives from Portland Seminary at George Fox University. Norwood and his wife, Ann, have two children. "Rep. Norwood has spent decades serving his community in ministry and today he takes on an additional role giving back to the people of his community. He is a great addition to the House of Representatives and I look forward to serving with him," said Speaker Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow. "It is great to have our full 101 House members seated, ready to do the people’s business throughout the interim and into the 2026 legislative session." He was sworn in by Oklahoma Supreme Court Chief Justice Dustin Rowe along with Rep. Amanda Clinton, D-Tulsa, and Rep. Aletia Timmons, D-Oklahoma City. Following Wednesday's swearing-in ceremony, the Oklahoma House is now comprised of 81 Republicans and 20 Democrats.
