Ivan Holmes Seeks 'Open Door Policy'
Oklahoma Democratic Party Chairman Ivan Holmes said today that when House Republicans elect a new speaker, "they need to select someone who will not only have an open door policy but will let Democratic bills in the House be debated."
"During the last legislative session Democrats in the House were not even allowed to have a majority of their bills heard," Holmes said.
"In a Democratic society it is important that bills be debated whether they are Democratic or Republican bill," Holmes said.
"Most Oklahomans don't care whether it is a Republican bill or Democratic bill. If it is a bill that is good for Oklahoma they want it passed," Holmes said.
"Since everyone in the House is up for reelection in November all members of the House had better think about what is good for Oklahoma rather than trying to hurt the other party," Holmes concluded.
