Sally Kern was first elected to the Oklahoma State House of Representatives on November 2, 2004.
Prior to her election, Sally was very active in her church as a Bible teacher and member of the choir, and continues to serve there. She was teaching high school government in Oklahoma City when elected, as well as coaching girl’s golf and volleyball. Sally has taught school about 20 years.
Since Sally is an educator, her priorities in the House revolve around education. Her desire is to see the quality of education improve for all children. Her emphasis in education has been on reading. Reading is a skill students must become proficient in if they are to learn the various subject matters. Although education is a high priority because that is where her life experience is, Sally, also, has many other issues that are important to her.
Since being elected, Sally has served on various committees in the House. In 2005-2006 she was the Vice Chair for the Appropriations and Budget Subcommittee on Education, member of the Common Education, Health and Human Services, and Business and Economic Development committees.
In 2007-2008 she was the Chair of the Human Services Subcommittee on Social Services, and member of the Education, Common Education, and Human Services committees.
After her first session in office, Sally was voted “Outstanding Lawmaker of the Year 2005” by the Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee (OCPAC) for her conservative voting record. OCPAC also voted Sally “Runner Up Lawmaker of the Year 2005.” In April of 2008, Sally was honored as the first ever recipient of the Family Research Council’s (FCR) “Champion of Faith, Family, and Freedom Award.” OCPAC has again voted Sally “Runner Up Lawmaker of the Year 2008.”
