Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-OK) will not run for Senate in Oklahoma to replace Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), the congresswoman announced Friday.

Bice said in a statement she is “truly overwhelmed” by the support and encouragement she received from her home state to run for the open seat being vacated by Mullin, who was tapped by President Donald Trump to become the next secretary of Homeland Security.
