Leadership

Oklahoma State Capitol

Since the Republican Party holds the majority of seats in both the Oklahoma Senate and Oklahoma House of Representatives, they hold the top leadership positions in both chambers.

In Oklahoma, the lieutenant governor serves as President of the Oklahoma Senate, meaning that he serves as the presiding officer in ceremonial instances and can provide a tie-breaking vote. Todd Lamb serves as the current Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma. The current President pro tempore of the Oklahoma Senate, who presides over the state senate on the majority of session days is Brian Bingman. He is aided by Majority Floor Leader Mike Schulz and Majority Whip Rick Brinkley.[3] The Democratic Minority leader of the state senate is Sean Burrage. Paul Ziriax serves as the Secretary of the Oklahoma Senate.

The current Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives is Jeff W. Hickman, who succeeded the previous Speaker on February 10, 2014.
