GOVERNOR KEVIN STITT ENDORSES BRIAN BINGMAN
FOR CORPORATION COMMISSION
Governor's Senior Policy Advisor brings unequaled
private, public-sector experience to job
Oklahoma City, Okla., August 16, 2023- Oklahoma Secretary of State Brian Bingman announced today he is filing as a candidate for Corporation Commission.
“The regulatory industry dramatically impacts our business environment and ability to recruit jobs. I need Brian Bingman because of his experience and his unquestioned integrity,” said Governor Stitt.
In response, Bingman said, “I'm honored to have the endorsement of not only Governor Stitt but so many Oklahomans who have asked me to serve in this capacity to make Oklahoma more business friendly.”
For nearly four decades, Secretary Bingman has worked in the oil and gas industry. He now serves as Secretary of State where he heads the Governor's policy agenda.
“Brian has helped us expand school choice for all Oklahoma parents, reduce taxes for families, increase teacher pay and build a state savings account of five billion dollars,” Stitt said.
When asked about Bingman'’s qualifications, the Governor said, “Brian has been instrumental in the pro-energy policies that have kept our state’s oil and gas industry, our top economic driver, safe from Joe Biden's attacks on our oil and gas companies.”
“I've been a champion for our energy industry my entire career, I know the importance of protecting our top industry, because I've been in it for all of my professional life,” said Bingman
Bingman, a former mayor of Sapulpa, served in the Oklahoma State Senate and is the longest serving Republican President Pro Tem in state history.
While in the Senate, the Republican legislator was principal author of comprehensive workers’ compensation reform which lowered rates for businesses statewide. As Secretary of State, he implemented conservative reforms including reducing taxes for families and building a state savings account of five billion dollars.
Bingman received a BBA from the University of Oklahoma in Petroleum Land Management. Married for 45 years, Brian and Paula are the parents of Rebecca Selle and Annie Bilby. Their son, Blake Bingman, died in a tragic jet ski accident in 1995.
“Through highs and lows, I've always stayed focused on doing what's best for our state,” Bingman said. “I know what it's like to lead and bring true conservative reforms that benefit all Oklahomans.”
STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR J. KEVIN STITT
Brian Bingman has stood by me and led the charge for conservative, pro-business reforms in Oklahoma and now I need him on the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. The regulatory industry dramatically impacts our business environment and ability to recruit jobs. I need Brian Bingman because of his experience and his unquestioned integrity.
The achievements of this administration are due in no small part to Brian Bingman’s service as my Secretary of State. He has helped us expand school choice for all Oklahoma parents, reduce taxes for families, increase teacher pay and build a state savings account of 5 billion dollars. In addition, Brian has been instrumental in pro-energy policies that have kept our state’s top economic driver safe from Joe Biden’s attacks on our oil and natural gas companies. Brian Bingman is a man of integrity and has my full backing to be the state’s next corporation commissioner.
Did not this man kill gun rights bills while he was the leader of the OK senate?
