You may not know, but my late grandmother Joanne Bennett was among the first women to be elected County Commissioner in OK.

She was elected in the early 70s and retired in 1990. It’s sad that we haven’t made more progress since then, but women like @CarrieBlumert give me hope. https://t.co/mXM300othT
