Nov 2019

Two state lawmakers from suburban Tulsa, Oklahoma — dubbed the "capital" of Route 66 in an online poll last year — filed legislation Tuesday to name an Oklahoma stretch of the iconic highway after the 45th president of the United States.

Oklahoma state Sens. Marty Quinn, R-Claremore, and Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, were behind the effort to call part of Route 66 the Donald Trump Highway.

But a day after filing the bill, Dahm gave up on the idea after pushback from the Route 66 Association of Oklahoma and Lt. Gov. Matt Pinnell (also a Republican), whose responsibility includes marketing and branding for the Sooner State.
