Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has picked Republican energy executive Alan S. Armstrong to fill the seat former Sen. Markwayne Mullin vacated to serve as President Donald Trump’s new Homeland Security secretary.
Stitt, also a Republican, announced his selection at a Tuesday morning news conference, calling Armstrong a “strong business leader” and a champion of the state’s energy industry.
“Alan is strongly aligned with President Trump on energy policy. Few people have done more to champion the America-First agenda to keep Oklahoma at the center of domestic energy production,” Stitt said.
