News Editor Ken Milam and I hope to participate in Congressman Markwayne Mullin's telephone conference call with members of the media scheduled for Friday morning.
Mullin, a Westville Republican who represents Oklahoma's 2nd District, will give a brief update on legislative activities as well as the work his office is doing on behalf of the district, according to Angie Gallant, a member of Mullin's staff.
The congressman then will open the floor for questions, she said.
