Biographical Information
PERSONAL:

The past four years of serving the residents of House District 79 has been an honor for Rep. Provenzano. When filing and running legislation, she prioritizes constituent requests and the concerns expressed to her during conversations with neighbors and the people of House District 79. She understands the importance of transparency and accountability in Oklahoma’s public servants and centers those principles as she works to help Oklahomans overcome real problems. With the census, our map lines changed a bit and we have enjoyed meeting new neighbors in the new precincts!
