Todd earned a reputation as one of the state’s most policy-oriented lieutenant governors.  He was engaged in workers’ compensation legislation, school security, and international economic development.  Todd led a multi-state delegation to Taiwan and was the first state leader to visit the United Kingdom during BREXIT.  While there, he was a guest of several members of parliament.  During his UK visit in 2018, Todd gave multiple speeches centered on international trade.  One of his last official acts as lieutenant governor was to sign a memorandum of understanding of trade between Oklahoma and the United Kingdom.  Members of parliament traveled to Oklahoma for the ceremony.
