I’ve been married to my beautiful wife Lisa (Lord) Fullerton of Bray, Oklahoma for 37 years. We have made Newcastle our home for the last 28 years to raise our two boys. Trevor Fullerton is 27 years old, married to Kurstin, granddaughter Blakelee 2 years old all live in Tuttle, Oklahoma. Tyler Fullerton is 22 years old and lives in Newcastle, Oklahoma.
Have been continues employed in the civil engineering industry as a Senior Roadway Designer for 38 years, the last 32 years for TEIM Design of Oklahoma City.- I have spent many years focusing on issues that deeply affect the people of this district. I feel like too many people are running for office for the wrong reasons. Some are running as a stepping-stone for what office they want to jump to further a political career, while others want the attention and media clips to build a personal brand. My time solving difficult issues with Newcastle City Council has taught me we have to build consensus to accomplish our objectives. Many people get elected and are influenced by lobbyists and special interest groups. My only interest is the people of House District 20. We are one of the fastest growing if not the fastest growing District in the State of Oklahoma considering percentage growth.
- We must act now to prepare our infrastructure, education system, law enforcement and health care providers to be prepared for this growth. Catching up from behind will be more costly and cause more inconvenience for our citizens. President Trump showed us the conventional way of government thinking would only give us what we had been doing repeatedly for 2 decades. His innovative thinking to unemployment to all-time lows. Violent crime fell to the lowest levels since the 1990’s. We reduced illegal immigration and moved us away from more wars. We need leaders looking for new ways to solve problems and innovate government policy. We need to stay true to limited government regulation, taxes, and reward innovation.
- We need to bring all parties together for education and economic development. These issues are intertwined in the success of our future. We need to bring K-12, Career Tech, Higher Ed, Tribal partners, and Economic Development groups to the table. If we want to recruit 400 good paying jobs to District 20, we want to fill those jobs with qualified employees from our District. When it comes to making sure our infrastructure is in place, we again must have all stakeholders at the table. This includes federal, state, county, and municipal governments all working together to make sure we get the most production at the best market costs.
With 40-years in the civil engineering industry, Infrastructure of roads, bridges, water and sewer is a major part of bringing new jobs to Oklahoma.
Education:
Making sure every student receives a great education that will help them become productive citizens in life is all parents dream for their children.
Infrastructure and Education are the two most important ingrediencies to develop a better stronger economy for Oklahoma.
Veterans:
Communication, how many times have you heard of an elected official that never hear from them again until the next election cycle, blocking individuals from social media pages so they don't have to deal with a citizen they don't agree with on issues, never returning a phone call or email.
I currently sit on Newcastle's city council, which has help me understand the importance to listening and communication with individuals, while also understanding that you have to be able to understand that only having 1 - 2 agenda items on your list doesn't help your community to be the best.
Every candidate talks about the federal overreach never truly understanding that our own state government has constantly been trying to take local control away from our school boards and city councils. My 11 years on council has shown me this battle we constantly have to fight at the state level.
Tornado of 1974 that hit Wichita Falls, Tx. was the same supercell that hit my parents' house in Stephens County.
Do the job you were elected to first!
Water, the basic requirement for life.
Education, raising the state's national ranking.
Currently waiting on the Oklahoma State Chamber, and the NRA ranking. I do feel confident that I will rank in their favor.
