Cody Nichols is an Oklahoma Republican, born in Tulsa in 1987. He went on to serve in the US Marine Corps as an Air Traffic Controller from 2009 to 2013, leading the M&W program for 5,000 Marines. Leaving the Marine Corps to enter the field of large construction project management (completing Trump International in 2016) and moving to local small business ownership and development. He has a wife who works as a Attending Physician at In His Image Family Medicine Residency, and 3 children (7y/o boy, 4y/o girl, and 1y/o girl). He stands for Faith, Family, and Freedom; standing strong on small and accountable government, the need for great improvements in the Oklahoma Education System, and the importance of community involvement in all Oklahoma legislative processes. He has spent the last 3 years in business school (preparing for law school at TU) and was inspired to run by his friend Rob Hall's story of victory in District 67 in 2024. When Mark Tedford stepped aside as District 69 representative, Cody was called on as the only real option for authentic community-driven leadership in District 69. Today, on the campaign, he focuses on connecting directly with voters so that when he enters the State Capitol in 2027, he can directly reflect the views of District 69 in everything he does. He hosts a brunch every 1st and 3rd Thursday at Hatch Early Mood Food in Jenks, inviting everyone from District 69 to come develop the District 69 plan for the 2027 legislative cycle.
  • The Oklahoma education system has been mistreated for far too long. We need strong leadership able to unify the party behind providing stronger support for outstanding teachers and enforcing accountability of educational administrators. Students should be provided with clear expectations and support to reach the goals. Oklahoma should be able to achieve stronger teacher compensation, reduce administrative positions, and provide better support for more strict standards all without raising taxes by finding and eliminating the huge inefficiencies in the Oklahoma Education System.
  • Oklahoma families deserve relief from high property taxes. Lower taxes allow homeowners to keep more of their hard-earned money. This extra income will help families cover rising daily costs like groceries and utilities, while supporting local businesses, investing in our future, and improving quality of life. It also encourages economic growth through businesses finding Oklahoma more attractive for expansion, bringing new jobs and investment to our communities. Additionally, lower taxes promote fairness and simplicity, respecting and enriching those who invest in their homes and communities. Oklahoma is great today, and by easing the property tax burden, we can foster thriving families, stronger neighborhoods, and a brighter future.
  • Oklahoma is struggling with real poverty on many levels, and each struggling individual has a story, many of which I can relate to. I am committed to uplifting people not through endless direct government spending, but by providing options to become contributing members of our communities. Progress comes when we encourage personal responsibility, local involvement, and grassroots solutions. By increasing government efficiency, we free up resources so hardworking Oklahomans can keep more of what they earn, support their families, and invest in their own communities. I believe in fostering community-driven initiatives, local mentorship, and job training through private investment that generates revenue while saving individuals.
I am passionate about the Oklahoma Education System, uplifting people who are struggling with poverty or addiction to become contributing members of their communities, and increasing government accountability and transparency.
