Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters requests impeachment proceedings, accusing House Speaker Charles McCall and Rep. Mark McBride of politically motivated investigation.
Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters has requested the House to initiate impeachment proceedings against him, alleging political motivations by House Speaker Charles McCall and Rep. Mark McBride. Walters claims the investigation into funding at the Oklahoma State Department of Education is politically driven, targeting him ahead of the 2026 gubernatorial race. House Speaker McCall, however, is focusing on a LOFT investigation into the allocation of taxpayer funds for education, asserting the investigation aims to ensure proper allocation of taxpayer dollars, rather than targeting individuals. House Democrats are prepared to participate in a legislative oversight investigation.
