Democratic Caucus Call to Resign

Analysis: Oklahoma House Democratic Leadership is calling on Rep. Danny Williams, R-Seminole, to resign after being re-elected during the general election Tuesday night.

The committee made several recommendations, including requesting Williams step down from his position. Now that he is re-elected, members of the House Democratic Caucus are renewing the call for him to resign.
