Alan Armstrong, Tulsa-based energy executive, appointed by Gov. Kevin Stitt to hold Mullin’s Senate seat until November; Armstrong will not run for the full term, state law requires.
- On Tuesday, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt appointed energy executive Alan Armstrong to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Markwayne Mullin, who was confirmed as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
- The Senate confirmed Mullin on Monday in a 54-45 vote, replacing Kristi Noem, who was fired earlier this month over immigration enforcement scrutiny.
- Armstrong, a Tulsa-based executive, leads Williams Companies, which employs about 5,800 people and manages 30% of U.S. natural gas; he has never served in elected office.
- Congressman Kevin Hern launched a campaign for the seat and secured an endorsement from President Donald Trump, while Armstrong plans to reform energy industry permitting processes.
- State law limits Armstrong's tenure to about seven months until the November election, concluding weeks of speculation about who would replace Mullin, widely viewed as a key Senate defender.
