Early life and education

Ally Seifried is a ninth-generation Oklahoman and member of the Cherokee Nation. She was homeschooled before attending Claremore Christian School for high school.[2] Seifried later attended college at Rogers State University where she was on the basketball team. She graduated with her bachelor's degree in political science in 2015.[1]

Oklahoma Senate

Ally Seifried ran for the Oklahoma Senate in 2022 for retiring Senator Marty Quinn's 2nd district seat. She faced three other candidates in the Republican primary: Keith Austin, Jarrin Jackson, and Coy Jenkins.[1] Seifried advanced to a runoff against Jarrin Jackson, who had gained national attention during the campaign for his social media presence which the Tulsa World described as "anti-Semitic, homophobic and conspiracy-laced." Seifried defeated Jarrin Jackson in the August Republican runoff election.[2] She won the November general election, defeating Democratic candidate Jennifer Esau and assumed office on November 16, 2022.[3][4]
