State Senator Cody Rogers sworn into office

Newly elected Sen. Cody Rogers, R-Tulsa, takes the official oath of office.

Cody Rogers took the oath of office Monday and was officially sworn in as the State Senator for District 37, representing Sand Springs.

Rogers will be serving his first four-year term in the Oklahoma Senate. The newly elected Tulsa Republican started a paving construction company in 2015 and has since grown it into a successful business. Rogers plans to advocate for reduced regulations on small businesses and Second Amendment issues at the Capitol. He also supports investing in Oklahoma’s educational systems and lowering prescription drug costs for seniors. 

Rogers defeated incumbent Democrat Allison Ikley-Freeman with 67.07% of the vote on November 3rd.

“I’m honored to be trusted with the responsibility to uphold our conservative values of Senate District 37 in the state Senate,” Rogers said. “More small businessmen are needed at the Capitol, and I’m excited to bring my business skillset to deliver real results for our state.”

The Senate will hold a one-day organizational meeting on Jan. 5 and will begin the 2021 legislative session on Feb. 1.
