  • Governor Mary Fallin Constitution, Article 6 § 1
    Executive Branch 66 67 Governor Mary Fallin Constitution, Article 6 § 1 Governor Mary Fallin was elected November 2, 2010, during a historic election in which she became the first-ever female governor of Oklahoma. She was inaugurated on the steps of the Oklahoma Capitol as the state’s twenty-seventh governor on January 10, 2011. She won reelection in November 2014. After working in the private sector as a manager for a national hotel chain, Fallin made her first foray into public service in 1990 when she was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives. This began her long and distinguished career of public service dedicated to conservative, common sense solutions to the challenges facing Oklahoma families and small businesses. During her time in the House, Fallin earned a reputation as a consensus builder who was willing to reach across the aisle. Serving in the Republican minority, she managed to pass more than a dozen bills that were signed into law by the state’s Democratic governor, including Oklahoma’s first “anti-stalker law,” and measures aimed at improving the business climate in Oklahoma. She also worked to lower the health care costs of small businesses in Okla- homa and for her work in this area was honored as a Legislator of the Year by the American Legislative Exchange Council. In 1994 Fallin would first make history by becoming the first woman and first Republican to be elected lieutenant governor of Oklahoma, an office she would hold for twelve years. In this capacity, Fallin focused her attention on issues affecting job creation and economic development.
