Tuesday, July 09, 2024, Governor Kevin Stitt issued the following statement after U.S. Senator and public servant Jim Inhofe passed away.

"Sarah and I are saddened by the news of the passing of Senator Inhofe and our hearts go out to Kay, their children and grandchildren. Jim was a generational Oklahoman who relentlessly championed our veterans, never wavered in protecting our values, and a firm believer in the American Dream. Jim will be remembered as a true statesman and public servant— and a fighter for Oklahoma.

In honor of his memory and service, I'm ordering all flags on state property to be flown at half-staff until tomorrow evening."
