Shelley Gwartney — The Colony OK journalist
Contributor

I know Tulsa well through my previous political runs for Union School Board and State Senate, District 33. I know Tulsa through Moms for Liberty as we follow what happens in it's 16 public school districts and many private schools. I serve as the Chair of Tulsa County M4L. Through M4L, I have made good relationships with our elected officials. I have been a part of the Tulsa County Republican party as an elected representative. I currently serve as the CD1 Treasurer. I am a Senate District Captain for OKHPR in Tulsa County, monitoring health related issues in the area and at the state level. I frequently have breakfast with our County Commissioners and other 'movers and shakers.' Outside of Tulsa, I serve on the OSSM (Oklahoma School of Science & Mathematics) Board of Trustees, appointed by Gov. Stitt in 2026.
