Press Releases

Every year, Green Country’s Electric Cooperatives join forces to show appreciation for the state and federal legislators who serve as champions for rural co-ops and the rural Oklahoma way of life. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our co-op partners and area legislators for making the 2025 Legislative Appreciation Dinner a tremendous success. Last but certainly not least, we want to thank Larry Morgan and his team for preparing the meal so we could all break bread together. A special thank you to East Central Electric Cooperative for hosting the event!

 

Participating co-op partners included:

Canadian Valley Electric Cooperative, Inc, Cookson Hills Electric Cooperative, Inc., East Central Electric Cooperative, Indian Electric Cooperative, Kiamichi Electric Cooperative, Lake Region, Ozarks Electric Cooperative, and Verdigris Valley Electric Cooperative.

The energy that comes from working together for the common good of our region is truly electric.

Lake Region would like to personally thank our local legislators for joining us:

Rep. Bob Ed Culver, District 4

Sen. Dr. Julie McIntosh, District 3

Sen. Tom Woods, District 4

 

We also want to recognize Easton Graalfs, a senior from Hulbert Public Schools and one of our 2025 Youth Tour attendees. Easton spoke to attendees about his Youth Tour experience in Washington, D.C., sharing highlights from his trip and how the opportunity helped him learn more about leadership, government, and the cooperative difference.
