This Oklahoma senator stands to profit from the permitting bill he's pushing
An Inside Climate News article republished by Mother Jones reports that Oklahoma Senator Alan Armstrong, a former Williams Companies chief executive who took the seat in March 2026, still holds tens of millions of dollars in Williams stock while championing a bipartisan permitting bill. The bill would restrict states' ability to deny water quality permits, potentially reviving the Constitution pipeline that New York blocked in 2016 and that Armstrong's former employer has pursued for over a decade.
