Matthews Elected to State Senate

Kevin Matthews-Facebook

Tulsa State Representative Kevin Matthews will be moving offices at the State Capitol. He was elected as the new State Senator for District 11. The election became necessary when Senator Jabar Shumate resigned in January.

Matthews is a former Tulsa Fire Fighter. He bested Regina Goodwin and Heather Nash for the seat. They are all Democrats. No Republicans filed for the post.

Now, Matthews' State House seat will be up for grabs.
