House Speaker McCall Announces Committee Assignments

House Speaker Charles A. McCall today announced committee assignments for standing House committees and appropriation subcommittees of the 56th Oklahoma Legislature.

“I am very thankful that each of these members is willing to serve where they are most needed,” said McCall, R-Atoka. “There is a lot of work to do, and we have a short amount of time to do it. These members each have unique skillsets and experiences that will serve Oklahoma well on these committees, and that will help us accomplish more of the work the people sent us here to do.”
