Who will be the leaders this session?
Gov. Mary Fallin
Fallin gives her final State of the State speech Monday, outlining her priorities for session and how she thinks state agencies should be funded. While she cannot introduce legislation, she does have political and veto power, which was on display during special session.
House Speaker Charles McCall
The Speaker of the House sets the agenda for House members, but he may not have enough votes to pass tax increases, whether it's the Democrats or a conservative bloc of GOP members.
Senate President Pro Tempore Mike Schulz
The Senate has been more leery of raising taxes than the House under Schulz's leadership. On Monday, Schulz is expected to outline his priorities for the 2018 session.
House Democratic Leader Steve Kouplen
Kouplen took the reins after state Rep. Scott Inman stepped down. He's been less vocal than his predecessor, but his caucus still wields considerable control over revenue discussions.
Senate Democratic Leader John Sparks
Sparks is well-respected among his GOP colleagues in the Senate, where his caucus is too small to affect the revenue debate in the same way that House Democrats are. However, he remains at the table during budget discussions.
