An attorney who most recently served as policy director and counsel to Oklahoma House Speaker Jeff Hickman has been appointed to fill a vacancy on the Oklahoma Workers’ Compensation Commission.
Gov. Mary Fallin on Sept. 15 named Jordan Russell to serve on the three-member committee that handles claims of injured Oklahoma workers. Russell will fill the remainder of the term of Dr. LeRoy Young, who announced this week he plans to resign to spend more time practicing medicine.
Russell’s appointment still must be confirmed by the state Senate when it convenes next year.
Before working for the House, Russell was an attorney with the firm Gungoll, Jackson, Box & Devoll, where he worked on the defense of personal injury and employment law cases.
