Senator James Lankford (R-OK) today issued a statement following Governor Kevin Stitt's announcement on getting Oklahomans back to work:

"At the start of the pandemic, Congress came together to pass legislation to address the real needs of Americans. We had a call to support those who were out of work due to the shutdowns across our state. Oklahoma is open, is safe, and businesses are hiring. I support Governor Stitt's plan today to end the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance. We can continue to support high-risk Oklahomans, but healthy adults should be encouraged to return back to work."
