Winchester Seeks Speaker's Seat
State Representative Susan Winchester (R-Chickasha) today said she is a candidate for Speaker to replace Rep. Lance Cargill, who resigned Monday.
"With only days remaining until the beginning of the 2008 legislative session, it is vital that we settle the leadership question soon," Winchester said. "I will ask the Republican caucus for their support, and I would ask the Democratic members as well to expedite the leadership transition so we may begin the session united and ready to do the people’s business."
Speaker Pro Tem Gus Blackwell announced earlier he, too, will seek the post.
