Supt. Ryan Walters announces resignation

Source: KOTV News 9 - OKC

State Superintendent Ryan Walters announced his resignation on Wednesday night on FOX News.
He said he will now serve as CEO of Teacher Freedom Alliance.
Since Walters resigned, Gov. Kevin Stitt will have to find someone to finish off the rest of the term.
This happened last in Oklahoma in 2021, when Attorney General Mike Hunter resigned and John O'Conner was appointed to replace him.

I hope that Oklahoma doesn't get a replacement who is even worse, though it is difficult to imagine how that is possible.
