House Democrats Name Leaders
The Oklahoma House Democratic Caucus today announced its leadership team.
"I believe we have assembled a top-notch leadership team that combines both rural and urban views, diverse professional backgrounds,and representatives of all parts of the state," said House Minority Leader Danny Morgan, D-Prague (pictured). "With this team in place, I believe the House Democratic Caucus will be able to leave our stamp on the 2007 legislative session."
The caucus leaders include Floor Leader James Covey (D-Custer City), who will oversee the daily schedule for the caucus. His duties include discussing pending legislation with the other Democratic Party members so they are better prepared before voting. He will also help negotiate agreements involving both political parties.
Joining Covey in that effort will be three deputy floor leaders: Reps. David Braddock (D-Altus), Ben Sherrer (D-Pryor Creek) and Dale Turner (D-Holdenville).
Eight assistant floor leaders will also assist, including Reps. Mike Brown (D-Fort Gibson), Wallace Collins (D-Norman), Joe Dorman (D-Rush Springs), Rebecca Hamilton (D-Oklahoma City), Wes Hilliard (D-Sulphur), Jerry McPeak (D-Warner), Wade Rousselot (D-Okay) and Jabar Shumate (D-Tulsa).
Rep. Terry Harrison (D-McAlester) will serve as Whip, helping build support or opposition to bills critical to the House Democratic agenda.
Rep. Ryan McMullen (D-Burns Flat) and Rep. Ryan Kiesel (D-Seminole) will serve as Caucus Chair and Vice-Chair, respectively, helping to organize and run the regular meetings of the House Democratic Caucus.
Newly elected state Rep. Eric Proctor (D-Tulsa) will serve as Democratic Caucus Secretary.
