Todd Lamb elected first male Republican lieutenant governor
State Sen. Todd Lamb, R-Edmond, is Oklahoma’s 16th elected lieutenant governor, winning by 62.64 percent of the vote from 1,861 of the 2,229 precincts.
With hopes of making Oklahoma more competitive with Texas concerning economic development, Lamb said he looked at surrounding states’ per capita income to see how Oklahoma stacked up.
Lamb said he thinks the state needs to focus on job retention, job improvement and tourism.
Born in Enid, Lamb worked as a U.S. Secret Service special agent during the Clinton and Bush administrations from 1998 to 2002. Lamb was elected to the state Senate in 2004 and served as the first Republican majority leader in state history.
