Democratic state Rep. Shane Stone will not seek re-election in his reliably blue Oklahoma City district next year.

Stone, the House assistant minority leader and a vocal member of the House Democrats, announced Tuesday he will leave office at the end of 2020 after six years in the Oklahoma Legislature.

Stone, 26, said he’s ready for a change but has not made any decisions on his next steps. After completing his master's degree in public policy this year, Stone plans to remain involved in politics and public policy but said he’s excited to do so in a less public manner.

“I think it’s time to move on for me, just from a personal perspective,” he said. “Also looking back at the five-plus years now that I’ve been there, we’ve been able to do a lot of really great things both as a caucus and as a House, such as bringing hundreds of millions of dollars to fund education and making some changes to make our tax system a bit more progressive.”
