Native Sandite Jadine Nollan won a sixth and final term in the Oklahoma House of Representatives on Tuesday. The Republican candidate defeated Democratic challenger Greg Laird in a two-way race with 65.1% of the 15,316 votes cast. The election saw the highest voter turnout in at least a decade.

Nollan previously served as Executive Director of Sand Springs Community Services and on the Sand Springs Board of Education before being elected to House District 66 in 2010.

Her first election was a close one, winning 50.6% of the vote. In 2012 she got 66.8%, she ran unopposed in 2014, then won 68.1% in 2016 and 58.5% in 2018.

From 2019 to 2020 Nollan served on the Children, Youth & Family Services Committee, the Health Services and Long-Term Care Committee, and chaired the Higher Education and Career Tech Committee.

Oklahomans are term-limited to twelve total years in the legislature, meaning she will not be able to run for House or Senate in the future.
