Devoted Family Man
Successful Entreprenuer
Public Servant
Lonnie and Lea Ann are the proud parents of an Oklahoma All-State swimmer and 2024 Honors College Graduate from Oklahoma State University, Laney Sims. They have been happily married for over 24 years and are current members of Victory Christian Center in Tulsa.
The great grandson of Italian immigrants, Lonnie learned at an early age the value of entrepreneurship, hard work, and the American Dream. In addition to his work as an Oklahoma State Representative, Lonnie manages a successful family fire equipment business and delivers insurance risk management services for a national program underwriter.
Sims has years of experience with regional authorities, including the Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG) Board of Directors, Tulsa Vision Authority, Cities United, and the Arkansas River Task Force, which was responsible for the first low-water dam project to sercure public passage in over 60 years.
Sims is a graduate of Oklahoma State University’s School of Fire Protection (1994) and completed his Masters in Business Administration (2021). He has continued his work in the fire protection and commercial insurance risk control business when not at the State Capitol. He was a founding board member for James Mission, a nonprofit supporting foster children, widows, and at-risk families in the Tulsa area.
Proven, Conservative Leadership
With a proven record of results, Lonnie has been a dedicated public servant for Tulsa, Jenks, Glenpool, Berryhill, Sand Springs, and NE Oklahoma. Prior to his election to the Oklahoma House, Lonnie served 14 years with the City of Jenks volunteering as a planning commissioner, city councilman, and Mayor from 2013-2015. During this time, Lonnie also served as his neighborhood HOA president for 13 years and often refers to it as the toughest public office ever held.
While serving as Mayor, the City of Jenks was named the “Best Place to Raise Kids” by Bloomberg. In 2023, Lonnie received the Ed Gerchman Leaderhip Award, often recognized locally as the Jenks Hall of Fame.
At the State Capitol, Lonnie has served as the chairman for the House’s County & Municipal Government Committee since 2020, a position he held while simultaneously completing his MBA at OSU. Other committee assignments include Transportation, Judicial - Criminal, and the Approprations & Budget Subcommittee for Public Safety. He was appointed to the Oklahoma Route 66 Centennial Commission by Speaker Charles McCall.
In 2024, Lonnie passed HB 2890, securing $50 million to repair the Arkansas River levees in Tulsa and protect our community from future floods.
Backing the Blue
Lonnie Sims knows that to attract and retain top-quality law enforcement officers, we must invest in those who are sworn to protect and serve. Lonnie will work tirelessly to make sure our law enforcement community has the resources they need to get the job done.
A 2023 Oklahoma Sheriff’s Association Legislative Award recipient, no one will work harder to make Tulsa County a safer place to live, work, and raise a family.
“Lonnie Sims always supports law enforcement and backs the blue! He works hard, stands strong, and has integrity. He will make a great County Commissioner.”
-Tulsa County Sheriff Vic Regalado
A Fighter for Border Security
Lonnie has worked tirelessly in the legislature to prevent state benefits for illegal aliens, and he’ll partner with the Tulsa County Sheriff to crack down on illegals in our community.
Lonnie has seen first hand how bad of a mess the Southern Border is, and he will work to protect American soverignty and keep Tulsa County families safe and secure.
In the fall of 2023, Lonnie joined a team of Oklahoma legislators visiting the southern border with the Federation for American Immigration Reform in McAllen, Texas. While in the field with US Border Patrol and Texas Department of Public Safety officers, Lonnie was excited to find K.B., an Oklahoman and Jenks Public School graduate, serving as the current Executive VP of the Texas Border Volunteers. Since 2006, K.B. and his fellow volunteers have put themselves at great risk to assist law enforcement officials in securing the border, protecting local landowners and educating the public.
