After attending law school in Tulsa, Suzanne began her legal career practicing civil defense and clerking for two federal judges. She married a Tulsa native and together they are raising four children–all products of Tulsa Public Schools. She’s spent the last 10 years working in the non-profit sector to help create opportunities for the Tulsa community while also serving for the last eight years on the Tulsa School Board.
Now she’s stepping up to run to represent Tulsa in House District 70 in the State House of Representatives because she wants to take the next step in making Oklahoma the place where all of our kids want to live and work and she has ideas about how to do that.
Her ideas aren’t complicated or technical. In fact, they’re pretty simple–putting people over politics, solving problems, and working together to deliver real results that make a difference in daily life.- Suzanne cares about community needs over labels. She cares that there are good people in the legislature who bring a range of perspectives, but can still find paths to good policy and lead toward solutions.
- Suzanne will work hard on the issues Tulsans care about most. She advocates for public education to create a path into the workforce.
- Suzanne believes in protecting and growing Tulsa's unique quality of life..

2014
Schreiber's campaign website listed the following campaign themes for 2014:[4]
Quality education for all
|
"It will be my duty as a member of the school board to uphold Tulsa Public School's mission statement of "Excellence and High Expectations with a Commitment to All." That means working to provide a quality learning experience for every student, every day, without exception. That also means requiring accountability and transparency where standards are not met." |
Leadership in the classroom
|
"As a TPS parent, I know how important it is that we strive to attract and keep the best teachers and leaders in our schools. I believe every classroom should have a effective teacher with the resources necessary to help our kids succeed. I will work hard to maintain stability with accountable teachers and principals throughout the schools and not be afraid to push for something better when success is not being achieved. High quality teachers and leaders in the district will in turn help develop good citizens and leaders out of the kids in the classrooms." |
A strong and responsive voice
|
"As a fellow parent, I want communication to be open between us. I want to hear everyone's opinion on the issues and how we can make our schools better for our kids. Parents and families should have a voice in the education of their children. My goal is to be a voice for you. " |
Partners in success
|
"A school tends to do better if the community believes in the ability of the kids to succeed and supports opportunities for success. Partners in Education is a good example of that such cooperation. I want to help expand such programs throughout the district, find additional partners and new ways for parents to aid in the success of our kids. " |
Middle school and junior high success
|
"As a school board member I will make it a priority to strengthen middle and junior high schools. As a parent of elementary school children, I plan to delve into the issue of what happens to TPS students when they leave elementary school. Are all kids getting what they need after elementary school and before high school? Are all of our middle and junior highs the best that they can be? Now that Project Schoolhouse has been in place a few years, we can take a look at these bridge years and evaluate whether our model is best positioning our students to succeed in high school and beyond. " |

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
