Rep. Fetgatter thanked Okmulgee County voters for their support.

Lynch shared the following comments following the election: “Thank you to everyone in District 16 who voted for me and my heart for our community. Many times, people feel they can only serve with a title, and I wholeheartedly challenge this notion. I will continue to serve the people of our community and work for a space that allows for communication, equity, and diversity. My hope is that we can turn from the rhetoric of political theater and get to work on making Oklahoma a better place for our children to learn, our elders to be honored, and our communities served.

Thank you for the honor to run for office and I look forward to continuing to work with you for a just, equitable, and fair district.”
