“We are falling behind on being the leaders of infrastructure,” Armstrong said. “It is critical to our country’s competitiveness in the long term.”
Trump (R) has endorsed Oklahoma Rep. Kevin Hern (R) for the Senate Seat in the coming Election, calling Him a “true friend of MAGA.” The Republican Primary in the Deep-Red State is Scheduled for 6/16/2026.

Stitt said the Appointment is in-line with the Trump Administration’s Goals in Energy Policy.
“Few people have done more to champion the America First agenda to keep Oklahoma at the center of domestic production so that we deliver clean, reliable and affordable energy to American citizens than Alan Armstrong,” Stitt said.
