T.W. Shannon learned the values of faith, family, hard work, and personal responsibility in the pews of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Lawton, Okla. He still serves there today as a Sunday School teacher.

A champion for limited government, T.W. first was elected to the state House of Representatives in 2006 from his hometown of Lawton. .

Chosen by his Republican House colleagues, T.W. became Oklahoma’s youngest and first African American House speaker. He is an enrolled member of the Chickasaw Nation.

When T.W. became speaker of the House in Oklahoma, he wanted to help people break the devastating life consequence of government dependency and move toward self-reliance. He understands that is the key to restoring dignity to individuals and breaking the cycle of generational poverty.

T.W. has worked hard to shrink the size of state government and reduce the state’s debt. He led the way to lower income tax rates so people could keep more of what they earn. He insisted that the state sell its underutilized assets. He authored the monumental workers compensation reform which saves businesses millions of dollars. He also authored welfare reform which adds work requirements for healthy food stamp recipients.

GOPAC recently recognized T.W. by adding this proud Oklahoman to its advisory board. The Republican National Committee recently named Shannon one of its “Rising Stars.”

Shannon has reliably supported pro-life legislation. He has participated in the Pro-Family Legislators Conference, sponsored by historian David Barton’s WallBuilders organization.
