Stitt Makes His Move

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt didn’t waste any time filling the Senate seat left vacant by Markwayne Mullin, who just got confirmed as the new DHS Secretary. On Tuesday, Stitt appointed energy executive Alan Armstrong to take Mullin’s place.

What’s Next for Armstrong

It’s not clear how Armstrong will vote on key issues, but his background in the energy industry won’t hurt in a state that’s all about oil and gas. Don’t expect him to rock the boat, though – Stitt likely chose him for a reason.
