Washington, D.C. – Today, National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Chairman Rick Scott released the below statement regarding Oklahoma U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe’s decision to retire.
“Jim Inhofe has made it his mission to fight for the people of Oklahoma and make sure it is a great place to raise a family, start a business and achieve the American Dream. His leadership in the Armed Services Committee has been invaluable. He has been a relentless advocate for our military men and women and a fierce voice for defense. He has made a lasting impact and we are forever grateful for his service. He will be greatly missed in the Senate.
“The NRSC will work tirelessly to ensure that Senator Inhofe’s successor continues to lead Oklahoma in the right direction and protects the values that make our country great. The people of Oklahoma don’t want the Democrats’ socialist, radical Left agenda. I have no doubt that Oklahoma will remain a Republican state.”
