With that, he became the first Republican to represent Oklahoma’s 2nd congressional district since Tom Coburn in 2001. In 2014, he was reselected with 70% of the vote where he defeated Earl Everett.

In March 2023, he classes with Teamsters President, Season O’Brien during a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing on union-busting tactics.
