Waldron resigns from Oklahoma Democratic Party chairmanship
The chair of Oklahoma's Democratic Party is resigning after just six months in the role.
In a social media post, Rep. John Waldron, D-Tulsa, wrote he's been pushing himself too hard and was resigning from the party job "for personal reasons." He is poised to keep his legislative seat.
In addition to serving as an elected representative, Waldron is an educator in the Tulsa area. And he writes those duties on top of leading the party and being a father, and it became too much. He is up for re-election in 2026.
Waldron took the top spot in the state party in June, campaigning on a platform to expand Democrats' reach beyond Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
