Matt Pinnell is a proud Oklahoman who has devoted his professional career to advancing our conservative causes and principles. Matt served as the Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman, where he focused on charting a new course for the state party and helped deliver incredible victories for the hard-working men and women of Oklahoma and their families.

The youngest state Republican Party chairman in the country at the time of his election, Matt helped the party secure all five congressional seats and every statewide elected office simultaneously for the first time in Oklahoma history.

In 2013, Matt went to work for conservatives as National State Party Director at the Republican National Committee, helping elect a Republican majority to the U.S. Senate in 2014 and helping Donald Trump win the White House in 2016. Most recently, he lead the transition of the newly-appointed Republican National Committee Chairman.

Matt Pinnell knows what it takes to fight for smaller government, less regulation, and a pro-growth business environment. As our Lt. Governor, he will achieve that and more for Oklahoma families and job creators.

Along with his wife, Lisa, Matt Pinnell grew a business after an idea for a new baby product became a reality in the kitchen of their Tulsa home. Now, the Pinnells' homegrown venture has turned into a successful international business.

Matt Pinnell understands the pressures and difficulties of being an entrepreneur and putting everything on the line for one's own business. Our government should focus on helping small business owners, not get in their way.

Matt Pinnell will use his first-hand business experience to be an effective and unwavering champion for small businesses in our state. Oklahomans work hard for their income...Matt will work just as hard to protect it.

Matt Pinnell was raised here in the Sooner State and lives in Tulsa with his wife, Lisa, and their four children. As a graduate of Oral Roberts University, Matt was reminded of its founder's challenge to "make no little plans here." It was central to the DNA of the university- and it's been central to how he's lived his life ever since.

Matt is a proud Christian family man who will always remain rooted to our ways and preserve our traditions. Matt wants Oklahoma to be a state where any American can call home.

The son of two public servants, Matt knows running for Lt. Governor is more than just about policy, it is about servant leadership. Matt will work tirelessly to ensure that a prosperous Oklahoma future is made a reality for today's families and generations to come.

It may come as some surprise to you that the City of Tulsa is holding a special election four weeks from today, Tuesday, November 14, 2017. There won't be any names on the ballot, nor any taxes or general obligation bonds. The ballot will consist of seven proposed amendments to the City Charter which were approved by the City Council over the course of the summer.

While the required public notices have been issued, and the proposals received some attention by news outlets, the official city websites seem to be ignoring the election. As of this writing, the election does not appear in the Calendar of Events on the official City Of Tulsa homepage:
