Oklahoman
The Oklahoma Senate on Wednesday unanimously approved Gov. Kevin Stitt s appointment of Dr. Lance Frye to serve as the state s commissioner of health.
Frye, who oversees Oklahoma s Health Department, has become the governor s most public-facing political appointee for leading the state through most of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In May, Stitt tapped Frye to serve as health commissioner after the Oklahoma Senate declined to confirm Stitt s previous appointee, Gary Cox, partly because Cox lacked the qualifications required by state law.
In a statement, Frye said he is humbled to serve Oklahomans and excited to work with the Legislature for the betterment of the state.
