Oklahoma House Rep. Amanda Swope, D-Tulsa, announced her final day in the Oklahoma Legislature will be January 28, 2025. Swope will start work as the Director of Tribal Policy & Partnership in the administration of Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols.
“It has been an honor to serve Oklahoma and the City of Tulsa throughout these few years representing House District 71,” Swope said. “I will forever cherish and support my colleagues in the House Democratic Caucus. I do not take the opportunity to serve in the legislature lightly, and it has been some of my most fulfilling work to be able to work with those in my caucus and across the aisle on issues that matter most to our state and people. I am eager to continue my service to the City of Tulsa with this new role and will always be grateful for the experiences and relationships I have built within the Oklahoma Legislature.”
House Democratic Leader Cyndi Munson, D-Oklahoma City, extended her gratitude toward Swope for her dedicated service in House District 71.
“While I am incredibly sad about Rep. Swope’s departure from the Legislature, I am equally excited about her future and the work she will do for the City of Tulsa,” Leader Munson said. “More than a trusted colleague, she quickly became a trusted friend. As a New Member, she took on hefty committee assignments and was always willing to do whatever she needed for the success of the House Democratic Caucus. Above all, she kept all Tulsans and Oklahomans as her priority during her time in the Oklahoma House. I am a better person, friend, and leader having served with her. I wish Rep. Swope all the success in her new role with the City of Tulsa and stand ready to help however I can.”
