My name is Angela Strohm and I am your new Tulsa County State Committeewoman.

I have a degree in education and spent over ten years teaching in both public and private schools. I’m an active member of City Elders, former Chaplain of the Women's Republican Club of Tulsa County, I’ve been active and engaged in politics for many years and have worked on several campaigns. Most importantly I’m a mom of 4, a grandmother (finally!) and I love Jesus.

When I considered running for this role, I spent time learning what I would be responsible for, and what I would like to achieve. With these ideas in mind, as your State Committeewoman, my goal is to:
* Work with groups across our area to help identify the best Conservative Republican candidates.
* Work with our party and various groups to get Conservative Republican candidates elected.
* Help prepare candidates for the battle they will walk into when elected.
* Seek to lead in a manner that inspires others to accomplish more together than they would have alone.
Finally, I believe that it’s crucial that we hold our elected Republican officials accountable for our Oklahoma GOP Platform. Our platform represents decades of work to define what we believe. As scripture says, ‘write the vision and make it plain’ and that’s what our platform does!

Thank you for this opportunity to serve you as a Tulsa County GOP District Committee Member. I have an extensive background in education and leadership. I taught K-12 th grade students over a ten-year period. I earned a Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction. I am a life-long learner. Several years ago, I began avidly reading and studying books about our history as a nation and many other topics. I realized that in order to promote legacy to the next generation, we must educate ourselves and become actively involved in civic engagement. As a woman of faith, devoted wife and mother, I also realized that I could no longer sit on the sidelines and watch our nation, and local community go in a direction in opposition to freedom and a true representational republic. I am passionate about our Nation and believe it is worth devoting time, focus, and our talents to it.

Over the past 15+ years, I have been blessed to serve on various boards and leadership roles. I was elected President of a statewide education association with more than a thousand members and was able during my tenure to increase membership significantly and foster a strong financial future. I seek to lead, serve, inspire, and motivate myself and others to accomplish more together than can be accomplished on our own.

My areas of interest in serving the Tulsa County GOP include:
1. Educate, Train, Equip, our Precinct Volunteers
2. Create an environment that encourages elected officials to raise the standard,
be accountable to the people they represent, and to steadfastly adhere to the
OKGOP Party Platform.
3. Helping truly conservative candidates to win their races. The future is bright
and the more we work together, the more we can accomplish!
