He was speaker for 5 years. Been 54 of them, so that's about average. Tough job. Don't know he could've done anything more with regards to the party. He seems to have been better at that than Ryan is.

Shortey was the state chair of President Trump’s campaign during the primary elections.

Human fetuses in food

In January 2012, Shortey introduced legislation to ban the use of aborted human fetuses in food.[2] Shortey told members of the media that he had conducted Internet research which led him to believe a ban was necessary. The United States Food and Drug Administration said it was unaware of any concern. Specifically, the legislation would have prohibited the manufacture or sale of any food in which aborted fetuses were used in developing any of the ingredients. Shortey said that he was not aware of any Oklahoma companies that use aborted human fetuses.
