Oklahoma’s Republican House Speaker Charles McCall, who hails from the rural southeastern county of Atoka, is the longest serving GOP member to hold the spot as top brass in the state’s history.
Over his five-year tenure, the fourth-generation family banker and fiscal conservative has secured cuts to personal and corporate income taxes, authored legislation restricting federal overreach into Oklahoma’s state affairs and oversaw an expansion of Republicans in the statehouse, from 72 members in his first term as speaker in 2016 to a record 82 members today.
