Oklahoma GOP Pushes for Walters Investigation

Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters is facing calls for an impeachment investigation from a growing number of Republican lawmakers, led by Rep. Mark McBride. The lawmakers cite concerns about Walters' transparency, budgetary practices, and refusal to allow legislative oversight in executive sessions. Walters has dismissed the allegations as politically motivated attacks from 'liberal Republicans' and Democrats aligned with teachers' unions. House Speaker Charles McCall has stated that at least 51 Republican signatures are needed before considering the request, emphasizing that any impeachment process should follow constitutional guidelines. Walters remains defiant, asserting his commitment to conservative values and the will of Oklahoma voters.
