Oklahoma taps energy executive Alan Armstrong for Mullin's Senate seat
TL;DR
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt appointed Alan S. Armstrong, a longtime Williams energy executive who has led its board, to fill the remainder of Sen. Markwayne Mullin's term after Mullin resigned to join President Trump’s DHS leadership. Armstrong was sworn in and says his focus will include overhauling energy infrastructure permitting, aiming to advance the GOP's infrastructure agenda, while acknowledging a learning curve as he works with Senate leadership. The term runs through January 2027, and state law prevents Armstrong from running for a full term; Trump has endorsed Rep. Kevin Hern for the next full-term race.
