Representative Jason Lowe announced his resignation from the Oklahoma House of Representatives during a floor statement on April 7, 2025, telling colleagues he steps down with “a mixture of gratitude, community pride, and definitely sadness.”

Lowe told the chamber he was grateful to family, staff and colleagues and named several people by way of thanks. “It is with a mixture of gratitude, community pride, and definitely sadness, that I stand before you today to announce my resignation from the Oklahoma House of Representatives,” Lowe said on the floor.

The announcement prompted immediate personal-privilege remarks from members on both sides of the aisle praising Lowe’s service and wishing him well. One member referred to him as “Commissioner Lowe” on the floor; later remarks from members congratulated him as the newly elected commissioner and said they expected “great things.” Colleagues described Lowe as a collaborative presence in committee work and thanked him for his service on the House Criminal Judiciary Committee.

Lowe listed people he wanted to thank in his remarks, including family and staff, and referenced his predecessor and mentors. He said it had been “an honor to serve” and described major events he had shared with colleagues during his tenure.

No formal motion or vote was recorded on the floor in connection with the resignation during the transcripted portion of the session. Members used point-of-personal-privilege time to pay tribute; the Speaker and floor leaders offered congratulations and short remarks immediately following Lowe’s announcement.

The House continued with its scheduled business after the remarks, including committee and chamber procedural items.
