Oklahoma lieutenant governor candidate T.W. Shannon met with supporters Tuesday during a campaign rally held in downtown Davis, highlighting his conservative platform and leadership experience.
Shannon, 46, is a conservative Republican who has earned the backing of President Donald Trump. Shannon, in a recent post, emphasized his commitment to continuing the “America First” principles championed by the president.
“I’m deeply honored to have President Trump’s complete and total endorsement,” Shannon said in the post. “President Trump transformed our country by fighting for the American people and putting America First. I was proud to stand with him then, and I’ll continue that fight for Oklahoma as your next Lieutenant Governor.”
Shannon previously made state history as the youngest Speaker of the Oklahoma House, as well as the first African American and Chickasaw to hold the position. During his tenure, he helped push through a number of conservative reforms that continue to shape state policy.
A native of Lawton, Shannon lives in the Oklahoma City area with his wife, Devon, and their two children. He remains active in both business and public service while campaigning across the state.
