Representative Kevin Hern (OK-01) has announced the departure of his longtime Communications Director, Miranda Dabney. Dabney will be taking on a new role as Communications Director for the House Appropriations Committee under Chairman Tom Cole (OK-04) starting next week.
“Since my first day in office, Miranda Dabney has served Oklahoma’s First District with unwavering dedication,” said Rep. Hern. “Over nearly seven years, her invaluable contributions have been the cornerstone of our team’s success. I am immensely proud of her achievements and confident that her career will continue to thrive.”
Dabney joined Hern’s staff in November 2018 after he was sworn in to serve the remainder of former Rep. Jim Bridenstine’s term and has led his communications team since then. She previously worked for the National Republican Congressional Committee and Tulsa World, and is an alumna of both the University of Tulsa and Lincoln Christian School in Tulsa.
