Oklahoma’s Elected Officials
The Oklahoma State Senate
There are 48 members in the Oklahoma State Senate. By law, the Lieutenant Governor is
president of the Senate, but the role is limited to presiding over special sessions and casting
the deciding vote in case of a tie. The law also provides that the Senate will elect a President
Pro Tempore, while the House of Representatives elects a Speaker of the House.
State senators serve staggered four-year terms. Senators in odd-numbered districts were
elected in 2012. Those in even-numbered districts will be elected in 2014.
Legislators are paid $38,400 annually, along with certain necessary expenses. The President
Pro Tempore of the State Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives are paid an
additional $17,932 annually, and the majority floor leaders and the minority floor leaders of
each House are paid an additional $12,364 per year.
The Senate occupies the third, fourth and fifth floors on the east side of the rotunda in the state
Capitol. Joint sessions are held in the House Chambers. The Senate Chambers are located on
the fourth floor, with the visitors' gallery on the fifth floor.

The Oklahoma House of Representatives
The Oklahoma House of Representatives is composed of 101 members. Each year, the House begins
convening at noon on the first Monday in February; its session must be finished by 5 p.m. on the
last Friday in May. In odd-numbered years, the regular session will also include one day in January.
The House will meet at noon on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in January and will
recess no later than five p.m. on the same day. Members of the House of Representatives serve twoyear terms which are up every even-numbered year.
The House considers the following types of legislation: 1) bills, which can become law if passed by
both the House and the Senate and signed by the governor; 2) joint resolutions, which have the
force and effect of law when passed by both the House and the Senate, but which may not become
part of the statutes; 3) concurrent resolutions, which express the will of both the House and the
Senate; and 4) simple resolutions, which express the will of the house of origin. Legislation which
originates in the House is numbered consecutively beginning with "1001." (i.e. HB 1001, HB 1002,
HB 1003, etc.)
Any member of the House may introduce legislation. Once prepared by the bill drafting
department, the legislation is introduced (first reading) by being read in the House. The following
day the bill is assigned to a committee (second reading) for study in the House. After study by the
assigned committee, the bill is printed with any changes made by the committee, and is then
considered by the full membership of the House (third reading). The bill is then printed to include
any changes made by the House and is given to the Senate to repeat the same process. When it is
returned to the House, any amendments made by the Senate are considered for final passage
(fourth reading) and transmitted to the governor for his consideration. If the House and Senate are
unable to agree with changes made by one or the other, a conference committee composed of
members from both the House and the Senate is appointed to work out differences. The conference
committee report goes to the House of origin and then to the opposite House for consideration.
The House Chamber is located on the fourth floor on the west side of the Capitol building. Members
of the House of Representatives occupy offices on the third, fourth and fifth floors. The visitor’s
gallery is on the fifth floor.
House Speaker Representative
Jeff Hickman
District 58
In February of 2014, the Oklahoma House of Representatives overwhelmingly elected Rep. Jeff
Hickman as Speaker of the House.
As the elected representative of District 58, Speaker Hickman has represented Alfalfa, Major, Woods
and northeast Woodward counties in the Oklahoma House of Representatives since 2004. Dedicated
to conservative values, responsible government, rural economic growth and a champion for law
enforcement and public safety Hickman has held a number of leadership positions prior to taking
office as Speaker. He served as Speaker Pro Tempore from 2010 to 2012 and served as chairman of
the Public Safety Appropriations & Budget Committee. He also served as a member on the
Appropriations & Budget Committee, Energy & Aerospace Committee, and the Agriculture & Wildlife
Committee.
Speaker Hickman is involved in his family’s farming and ranching operation in northwest Oklahoma
and is the fifth generation of his family to own and farm land in Alfalfa and Woods counties. He is a
graduate of Cherokee High School and holds a B.A. with Distinction in Journalism from the University
of Oklahoma. Hickman was a Top 10 Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior at OU and received the
Letseizer Medal given to the top three student leaders. Upon graduation, Hickman served as assistant
to the President & Athletic Director, Public Affairs Special Projects Coordinator, and as University
Press Secretary in the Office of the President, before moving to Woodward where he was vice
president of Omni Media Group.
Speaker Hickman and his wife, Jana, have three children and live in Fairview. Jana works as an
occupational therapist in six school districts in northwest Oklahoma.

U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe
As a member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, minority leader of the Oklahoma Senate, mayor
of Tulsa, congressman from Oklahoma’s First Congressional District, to his present role as Oklahoma’s
senior U.S. Senator, Jim has served Oklahomans with pride and honor. Simply put, no one consistently
represents common sense, conservative Oklahoma values more than Jim.
Jim considers one of his unique qualifications for office to be the 30 years he’s spent in the business
community being over regulated by the federal bureaucracy. Throughout his political career, Jim has
been a strong advocate for the principles of limited government, individual liberty and personal
responsibility. He believes that the federal government works best when it returns dollars, decisions
and freedom to our local communities and families.
During his tenure in Congress, Jim has forged a distinguished legislative record on a diverse range of
issues: surface transportation and highway funding; environmental regulation and land management;
strengthening and supporting America’s national defense; rural education funding; and improving
America’s energy independence. In addition, Jim has sponsored legislation to reduce taxes and reform
the tax code; reign in out of control federal bureaucracies; promote fiscal responsibility; and reform the
way Congress works.
As chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, Jim played a key role in passage of last
year’s Highway Bill, shepherding the important legislation through the U.S. Senate. By doing so he ended
Oklahoma’s status as a ‘donor state’ as Oklahoma will now receive more money than it sends to
Washington in federal highway funding. This historic legislation also lessened the federal bureaucracy
over highway trust funds by returning the decision-making process back to the states. Jim as also been a
champion for restoring common sense and sound science to important environmental and regulatory
issues like clean air mandates, wetlands and endangered species.
From his post as the second ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Jim has gained a
reputation as an expert on defense and national security issues. Not only is Jim a strong supporter of
Oklahoma’s defense industry and military community, he has also been a tireless advocate for providing
greater resources, the necessary equipment, and proper training to our military personnel fighting the
War on Terror and combating global threats to our nation’s security. Jim has been to Iraq and
Afghanistan as much as any other member of Congress since the beginning of the War on Terror.
Jim is a reform-minded leader whose efforts to change the House of Representatives’ arcane discharge
petition rule brought him national attention and praise. The rule change eliminated much of the secrecy
in the legislative process and prevented Congressional leaders from keeping popular bills bottled up in
committee. Jim has taken that same approach to shine light on the workings of the United States Senate
by sponsoring legislation to end a Senator’s ability to anonymously and indefinitely obstruct the
Senate’s consideration of nominations and legislation.
Jim is a lifelong Oklahoman who grew up in Tulsa and graduated from the University of Tulsa with a
degree in economics. He served in the U.S. Army and has been a small businessman working in aviation,
real estate, and insurance for over 30 years. He was elected to the United States Senate in 1994 to
complete the unexpired term of Senator David Boren, who resigned to become president of the
University of Oklahoma. Jim was re-elected in 1996 and again in 202. Inhofe has been married 47 years
to his wife, Kay, and has four grown children and twelve grandchildren.
U.S. Senator Tom Coburn
Dr. Coburn's priorities in the Senate include reducing wasteful spending, balancing the budget, improving
health care access and affordability, protecting the sanctity of all human life including the unborn and
representing Oklahoma values. As a citizen legislator, Dr. Coburn has pledged to serve no more than two
terms in the Senate and to continue to care for patients. He is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and Indian Affairs Committee.
Prior to his election to the Senate on November 2, 2004, Dr. Coburn represented Oklahoma's 2nd
Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995-2001. He was first elected in 1994,
then re-elected in 1996 and 1998, becoming the first Republican to hold the seat for consecutive terms. Dr.
Coburn retired from Congress to fulfill his pledge to serve no more than three terms in the House of
Representatives.
Coburn was raised in Muskogee, Oklahoma and graduated from the public school system in 1966. Four
years later, he graduated with a B.S. in accounting from Oklahoma State University. One of the top ten
seniors in the School of Business, Coburn served as President of the College of Business Student Council.
From 1970-78, Coburn was the manufacturing manager at the Ophthalmic Division of Coburn Optical
Industries in Colonial Heights, Virginia. Under his leadership, the Virginia division of Coburn Optical grew
from 13 employees to more than 350 and captured 35% of the U.S. market. After the family business was
sold, Coburn changed the course of his life by returning to school to become a physician. Again he emerged

U.S Representative Markwayne Mullin
2nd District of Oklahoma
Markwayne Mullin was elected to serve the people of Oklahoma's 2nd Congressional District in November
2012.
The youngest of seven children, Mullin was raised in the small Adair County community of Westville.
Mullin is an eastern Oklahoma native, successful businessman, rancher, and family man.
Shortly after Mullin graduated from Stilwell High School, his father fell ill and the family's small plumbing
company encountered financial troubles. Markwayne was only 20 years old but he and his wife, Christie,
took over with only six employees. They had never run a business, but Mullin's dad had taught him the
value of hard work and discipline. Mullin stabilized the company and grew it into one of the largest service
companies in the tri-state area. Today, it is only one of several successful companies they own and
operate. Mullin is proud to have turned a family trade into a thriving business that employs over 120
Oklahomans. He also continues to run his cattle ranch in Westville.
Mullin was a high school athlete and went to college on a wrestling scholarship before returning home to
run the family business. He's also a rodeo and a martial arts enthusiast and is an avid hunter. He's been
married to Christie, his high school sweetheart, for 15 years and they have three children, Jim, Andrew,
and Larra.
Mullin's victory puts him in rare territory. Mullin is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. When the 113th
Congress convenes in January 2013, he will be the second Native American in the House-- the other being
Rep. Tom Cole (R-Oklahoma), a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation. Congressman Mullin has been selected to
serve on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Natural Resources Committee.

Congressman Lucas is a fifth generation Oklahoman whose family has lived and farmed in western
Oklahoma for over 100 years. He operates a farm and cattle ranch in Roger Mills County in far western
Oklahoma, where he lives with his wife, Lynda and three children.
Oklahoma’s Third Congressional District includes all but one county of his old Sixth Congressional District,
which he had represented since being elected to Congress in a 1994 special election. The district included
all or portions of 32 counties in northern and western Oklahoma, stretching from the Oklahoma
panhandle to parts of Tulsa, and from Yukon to Altus in the southwest. It takes up almost half the state’s
land mass.
Prior to his service in the U.S. Congress, Lucas served for 5 ½ years in the Oklahoma State House of
Representatives. He believes Oklahomans benefit from less federal government in their daily lives,
allowing them to make decisions for themselves, their families and their communities. In 2002 he was

Taxpayer” by Americans for Tax Reform.
Lucas is a member of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau, Oklahoma Farmer’s Union, Oklahoma Cattlemen’s

Key Congressional
Health Care Committees
Senate Committees:
Committee on the Budget
The House and Senate Committees on the Budget report to their respective chambers on all
concurrent resolutions on budget matters, as stipulated in the Congressional Budget and
Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-344). They conduct studies on the effect of budget
outlays on relevant proposed and existing legislation, request and evaluate studies of tax
expenditures and methods of coordinating tax expenditures with direct budget outlays, and review
Congressional Budget Office operations.
Committee on Finance
The Senate Finance Committee and its health subcommittees are responsible for legislation on
Medicare and Medicaid, as well as other health programs that, in the aggregate, involve almost
three-fifths of the federal budget. As a result of the full committee’s jurisdiction over amendments
to internal revenue laws, which may affect tax reform and philanthropy, both the committee and its
health subcommittees have significant influence over health-related measures and issues that
affect health care institutions. Amendments to the Social Security Act, which include Medicare,
Medicaid, and maternal and child health, for example, also encompass legislation affecting public
assistance, old age, survivors, disability insurance, and unemployment compensation programs.
Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pension
The Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee, which has no health subcommittee, has
jurisdiction over programs authorized under the Public Health Service (e.g., clinical laboratories,
allied health and nurse training), the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and the Mental
Retardation Facilities and Community Mental Health Centers Act. Although the committee has no
jurisdiction over Medicare and Medicaid, members hold hearings on expanding access to health
care for the medically indigent, health care sot containment and manpower issues, including
Medicare payment for graduate medical education. Legislation dealing with child abuse, adoption,
the Community Service Block Grant, adolescent family life, and the Head Start Program – all of
which include some provision for delivery of health services – is referred initially to the panel’s
subcommittee on Children, Family, Drugs and Alcohol.
House Committees:
Committee on Ways and Means
The Ways and Means Committee has jurisdiction over Medicare Parts A and B and health
proposals funded through federal general revenues, tax legislation, and Social Security, except
for health care facilities programs supported from general revenues rather than payroll
deductions, and for work-incentive programs.
Committee on Energy and Commerce
The Commerce Committee has jurisdiction over programs authorized under the Social Security
Act, including Medicaid, Medicare Part B, child health, long-term care, peer review, and
programs authorized under the Public Health Service Act, including hospital construction,
biomedical research, allied health and nurse training, medical devices, mental health research,
alcoholism, drug abuse, maternal and child health care, HMOs and issues related to
environmental protection – all of which are initially referred to the committee’s Subcommittee
on Health and the Environment.
Committee on Education and the Work Force
The Economic and Educational Opportunities Committee, formerly the Education and Labor
Committee, has jurisdiction over measures relating to education or labor issues. The
committee has influence over measures concerning workers’ health and safety, wages and
hours of labor, post-secondary student assistance, training and apprenticeship, and pension
benefits, including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
The Committee on Appropriations
The Appropriations Committee has jurisdiction over discretionary spending, which is
approximately one-third of the federal budget. It consists of thousands of programs controlled
through annual appropriations acts. The other two-thirds of the budget is mandatory spending
and interest on the debt. Mandatory spending is controlled by permanent law and includes
such programs as Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, which are referred to the
committee’s Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related
Agencies.

organization, corporation or entity before the Legislature.
Majority - more than half.
Absolute majority - more than half of the entire membership.
Simple majority - more than half of the members present and voting.
Majority Floor Leader - a senator chosen by members of the majority party caucus to determine the
order of business for the Senate. The Majority Floor Leader is an ex-officio and voting member of all
Senate committees. The members of the majority party caucus also choose one or more Majority Whips
and Assistant Majority Floor Leaders.
Majority Whip - a senator responsible for assisting the members of the majority party in working with
members of the Senate in determining and informing the leadership of the members' positions on issues.

manner as the Majority Whip. (Also see "Majority Whip.")
Measure - bill, joint resolution, concurrent resolution or simple resolution.
Motion to Reconsider - a motion to consider again an action of the House in which the measure is being
considered. For a motion to reconsider the final vote of a measure on the third or fourth reading, or on an
emergency clause or special election feature, notice must be served on the same day of the action that a

10. First Reading
11. Communications
5. House Amendments to Senate Bills and

12. Other Business
Override - to pass a bill after the governor has vetoed it. This requires a two-thirds vote of each House
(three-fourths vote on emergency measures).
Personal Privilege - right of a member to speak on the floor regarding a subject not currently being
discussed or on the agenda.
Pocket Veto - failure of the governor to sign a measure within 15 days following sine die adjournment,
which results in veto without gubernatorial action. (Also see "Veto".)
Point of Order - motion calling attention to an alleged breach of order or rules.
Pre-filing - filing of bills and other proposed legislation prior to the convening of the regular session of the
Legislature. Bills may be pre-filed beginning on November 15 of even- numbered years and at any time
during odd-numbered years.
President of the Senate - the lieutenant governor.
President Pro Tempore - a senator chosen by his or her fellow members to be the chief executive officer
of the Senate and to preside in the absence of the lieutenant governor, with powers and duties prescribed
by Senate rules. The President Pro Tempore is the effective leader of the Senate and is an ex-officio and
voting member of all Senate committees.
Presiding Officer - the senator who chairs the daily session. There may be several presiding officers
during any daily session. The presiding officer must determine the presence of a quorum upon request,
interpret the rules, maintain order, recognize speakers, sign legislation that has passed and control the
voting machines.
Principal Author - the member introducing and sponsoring a measure. A measure must have a principal
author from both Houses at some time during the legislative process. The principal authors' names appear
first on the bill followed by the names of any co-authors. (Also see "Co-author.")
Quorum - the number of the members (usually more than half) required to be present in the chamber or a
committee meeting before business may be transacted.
Quorum call - a determination as to whether or not a quorum is present.
Readings - presentation of a bill or joint resolution. Every measure must receive three readings before
passage, none of which may be on the same day. A fourth reading occurs at the time of final action.
First reading - the measure is introduced and its title only is read for the first time. The measure is
assigned a number at this time.
Second reading - the title of the measure is read for the second time and it is referred to
committee.
Third reading - the measure is read at length before a vote is taken.
Fourth reading - amendments from the opposite House or a conference committee report on a
measure are read before a vote is taken. If a measure has passed both Houses in the same form,
fourth reading occurs upon the signature of the presiding officer.
Recall - to retrieve, by concurrent resolution, a measure which has been presented to the governor, for
the correction of errors.
Recede - to withdraw from an amendment in which the opposite House refused to concur.
Reconsider - to consider again a vote on any action previously taken by the Legislature. (Also see
"Motion to Reconsider.")
Referendum - the method by which a non-emergency measure adopted by the Legislature may be
submitted to the electorate for popular vote. Referendum may be used to amend or repeal nonemergency measures passed by the Legislature.
Repeal - the removal of an entire section of law from the Oklahoma Statutes by the Legislature. The
repeal of a statute or statutes is accomplished by the insertion of a repealer clause in a legislative
measure which becomes law.
Rescind - to annul an action previously taken.
Resolution - a formal expression of the will, wish or direction of one or both Houses.
Joint Resolution - a resolution passed by both Houses of the Legislature which, if signed
by the governor, has the force and effect of law. Some Oklahoma case law suggests that
joint resolutions may only be used for temporary laws and not for permanent laws. Joint
resolutions which are not signed by the governor are also used to propose amendments to
the Oklahoma Constitution or to ratify amendments to the United States Constitution.
Concurrent Resolution - a resolution passed by both Houses of the Legislature to express facts, principles, opinions, wishes and purposes of the Legislature. Concurrent
resolutions are also used to memorialize the president, Congress, cabinet members or
federal agencies on a certain course of action. Although a concurrent resolution does not
customarily have the force and effect of law, it does when used to authorize the issuance
of revenue bonds.
Simple Resolution - a resolution which expresses the opinion or will of one House only
and does not have the force and effect of law. It may be used for some of the same
purposes as a concurrent resolution; however, its use is not as broad as that of a
concurrent resolution.
Roll Call Vote - a recorded vote on a measure by which members respond either "aye" or "nay" when
their names are called, or by indicating the same on an electronic roll call machine. (Also see "Voice
Vote.")
Rules - provisions for the procedure, organization, officers and committees of the
Legislature.
Joint rules - govern relationship between and matters affecting the two Houses.
Senate and House rules - govern matters affecting only one House.
Session - the period during which the Legislature meets.
Regular session - the annual session.
Daily session - each day's meeting.
Joint session - the meeting of the two Houses together. The lieutenant governor presides at joint
sessions.
Extraordinary session or special session - a special session of the Legislature called by the governor
or by two-thirds of the members of the Legislature. If called by the governor, only those subjects
enumerated by the governor may be considered.
Shell Bill - a bill in which the title and body of the original version have been stricken and replaced with
a title and body which may or may not relate specifically to the provisions of the original bill.
Simple Majority - see "Majority."
Simple Resolution - see "Resolution."
Sine die - adjournment "without day" being set for reconvening; final adjournment. The Legislature is
required to adjourn sine die no later than 5:00 on the last Friday in May. (Also see "Adjournment.")
Speaker - the leader of the House of Representatives, elected by all members of the House.
Statute - a law enacted by the Legislature.
Statutes - a compilation of all enacted laws currently in effect.
Strike the Title - to change the title of a bill to a few words which are briefly descriptive but
constitutionally unacceptable. The major intent of this action is to ensure that the bill will go to a
conference committee. The same effect may be achieved by striking the enacting clause. Any Senate
legislation being reported out of a Senate committee, with the exception of an appropriation bill, must
have an enacting clause or resolving clause and a Senate and House author.
Table - to lay aside for future discussion, usually for purposes of postponing or shelving the matter
indefinitely.
Title - a concise statement of the contents of a bill, prepared as a preface to the bill, as required by the
Oklahoma Constitution. The purpose of the title of a bill is to alert the reader to the contents of the bill.
Titles which inaccurately perform this function may cause court challenge of the measure, resulting in
the striking of any contents of the bill not reflected in the title.
Veto - disapproval by the governor of a measure. The measure is then sent back to the
Legislature with the objections. (Also see "Pocket Veto.")
Voice Vote - a non-roll call vote by which members respond orally by "aye" or "nay." (Also see "Roll
Call Vote.")
