Lankford Reelected as Senate Republican Conference Vice Chair

WASHINGTON, DC - US Senator James Lankford (R-OK) today was reelected by his Senate Republican colleagues to continue serving as Vice Chair of the Senate Republican Conference for the 120th Congress.

"I'm grateful to my Republican colleagues for their trust to serve as the Vice Chair of the Republican Conference," said Lankford. "The American people expect us to bring down the cost of living, protect their freedom, keep our communities safe, and solve the challenges we face as a nation. Next year, I will work with Democrats when we can find common ground, but I will fight tenaciously when Democrat proposals attempt to give the government the power to run our lives, drive up costs, or make our communities less safe. I am ready to get back to work for Oklahoma."
