Rep. T.W. Shannon has been elected House Speaker-designate for the 54th Oklahoma Legislature.

Should Republicans maintain their majority in the House following next year’s election cycle, Shannon will be next in line to serve as Speaker of the House beginning in November 2012, when current House Speaker Kris Steele leaves office due to term limits.
