Sen. James Lankford, U.S. Senator representing Oklahoma, posted a series of updates on social media addressing recent events and his ongoing work in the Senate.
On July 30, 2025, Lankford expressed condolences regarding the death of a prominent Oklahoma political figure: “I’m saddened to hear of the passing of former Governor George Nigh, a statesman who dedicated his life to serving Oklahoma. His legacy of leadership, optimism, and public service will be forever cherished. Our prayers are with his family and loved ones.”
Later that day, Lankford invited constituents to participate in an interactive session focused on current Senate matters: “Join me tonight at 7:40 p.m. CT where I will be going live to talk about all things going on in the Senate. From nominations to the NDAA, appropriations, and so much more. Put your questions in the comments or in the portal on our story and I will answer them tonight. I’m excited https://t.co/szEvAmBGg2” This announcement highlights Lankford’s efforts to engage directly with Oklahomans on legislative issues including nominations, defense authorization (NDAA), and federal appropriations.
Continuing this outreach, Lankford followed up with a reminder for viewers about his scheduled broadcast: “Livestream with Lankford 07-31-25 https://t.co/rIf1qZH6HW” (July 31, 2025).
Former Governor George Nigh served as Oklahoma’s governor during two separate terms (1963 and from 1979–1987) and was recognized for his contributions to education and public service throughout his career.
