Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt just delivered another crushing blow to the political establishment by selecting energy executive Alan Armstrong to fill the Senate seat vacated by newly confirmed Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
The appointment comes as President Trump continues his relentless campaign to drain the swamp and put America First patriots in positions of power. While career politicians and lobbyists were undoubtedly salivating over the opportunity to grab another Senate seat, Stitt went straight to the private sector to find a proven leader.
Armstrong, a seasoned energy executive, brings decades of real-world business experience to Washington – something desperately needed as Trump's administration works to achieve American energy dominance and cut through the red tape strangling our economy.
"He's a strong business leader," Stitt said, praising Armstrong's selection. The governor's decision perfectly aligns with Trump's vision of putting successful Americans who understand how to create jobs and grow the economy in charge, rather than swamp creatures who've never met a payroll.
Mullin's confirmation as DHS Secretary represents another key victory for Trump's mass deportation agenda. With current Secretary Kristi Noem set to leave the department on March 31, Mullin will step into the role at a critical time as the administration ramps up efforts to secure our borders and remove illegal aliens who have invaded our country under the disastrous Biden regime.
Energy Executive Brings Private Sector Success
Armstrong's appointment couldn't come at a better time. With Trump pushing his "drill, baby, drill" agenda and working to make America energy independent once again, having a Senate ally who actually understands the energy sector will be invaluable in fighting off Democrat obstruction and environmental extremist attacks.
This move proves that Republican governors are finally learning what Trump taught us: we need fighters and successful business leaders in Washington, not more politicians who've spent their entire careers feeding at the government trough.
Will more GOP governors follow Stitt's lead and choose outsiders over establishment picks? The swamp is watching nervously.
