Kevin Stitt

Kevin Stitt is the Republican Governor of Oklahoma and currently serves as the chair of the National Governors Association (NGA). He is newsworthy due to his role in the NGA and its interactions with the White House. Recent news indicates that the annual governors' meeting with the President Donald Trump is unraveling after the White House only invited Republicans, leading to the NGA not holding a formal meeting with the President. Stitt, as chair, participated in a panel discussion at the Economic Club of Washington alongside the NGA's vice chair, Gov. Wes Moore. He also spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, earlier in the year. Additionally, Oklahoma was recently affected by deadly tornadoes, requiring his attention as governor. His position as NGA chair places him at the center of discussions and negotiations between state governors and the federal government, making his actions and statements significant in national politics.
