RyanKieselOKLAHOMA CITY - State Representative Ryan Kiesel (D) Seminole has announced that he will not seek re-election in 2010.  Kiesel was elected to the House of Representatives, serving District 28, in 2004. 

According to a statement issued today, Kiesel said, "For six years the majority of the voters in House District 28 have afforded me a front row seat with a microphone. From this vantage point, I've seen what we are capable of at our best and at our worst. I've seen moments of human tragedy exploited for political gain, as suffering is mangled into a soundbite. I've also seen moments of courage, at the capitol and in my own backyard. From the legislator relying on reason in the face of demagogues, to firefighters, many volunteers, working without rest or regard to their own safety to battle advancing wildfires, it has been an enormous privilege to be a witness to the human spirit and the very real, very tangible Oklahoman commitment to our community and our neighbors."
