This is Andy

“I didn’t run for office because I wanted to lead. I ran for office to serve others.”

— Andy Fugate

I’m a problem solver. It excites me to team with others and create solutions. I spent my career leading technology divisions for some of Oklahoma’s premiere companies. Technology leadership is different. Often your team reports to others, so success requires servant leadership and common vision.

“Common vision comes when we put the people of Oklahoma first.”

That means an end the partisan games and the finger-pointing. There are good people with good ideas all over the place, including on both sides of the aisle. But those ideas die when we shout instead of listening.

I’ve demonstrated I can build relationships and trust. Yes, I ask tough questions. But my colleagues have realized it’s not to attack. That’s the old approach. I ask questions to help us make better decisions. In fact, I routinely email my questions to colleagues in advance. It’s better for all of us when they have to time to provide trustworthy, vetted answers.

I know I don’t have all the answers. Nor do I have the solutions to all our problems. None of us does. So I choose to listen. I listen to colleagues. I listen to every expert I can find. Most importantly, I have and will continue to listen to you, my constituents.

Help me continue to serve you.

This November, Vote for Andy Fugate, and let's build a better Oklahoma together!
