Goodwin And Matthews Unopposed In Re-Election Bids | The Oklahoma Eagle

State Rep. Regina Goodwin and State Senator Kevin Matthews will return to work having no one opposing them.

Rep. Goodwin was first elected to the house of representative’s district 73 in 2015.

“Serving great Oklahomans through the grievous times of a deadly pandemic and uplifting lives remains my challenge, privilege and blessing,” stated Rep. Regina Goodwin.

We have voted in a cost of living increase for state retirees, public service workers, teachers, firemen and police.

Sen. Matthews was first elected to the state house of representative’s district 73 in 2012 and followed that up with a successful election as State Senator of District 11.
