Sapulpa, O.K. – Today, U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) traveled to Sapulpa, Oklahoma for a meeting with local business leaders and public officials. He began the visit by sharing a brief update from Washington, D.C. before encouraging the audience to ask questions.
The Sapulpa meeting included Oklahoma House Rep. Mark Lawson, Sapulpa Chamber of Commerce President Janet Birnie, Sapulpa Mayor Craig Henderson, Sapulpa City Manager Joan Riley, Bristow Mayor Kris Wyatt, and other Creek County government leaders. They discussed a range of issues with the Senator, including rural health care, the popular Route 66 Christmas Chute’s planned return in 2026, and the city’s efforts to attain federal grants to aid new building construction and other key infrastructure investments.
“Sapulpa is clearly thriving from tourism and significant local investments which are paying off in a big way,” said Senator Mullin. “It was great to visit with local leaders about their plans to scale up economic development, in addition to water infrastructure needs in the region. As I told the local leaders, I’ll always be an advocate for our community issues at the federal level, and I appreciate everyone who participated in our open conversation.”
“We are proud to be represented by Senator Mullin in Washington,” said OK State Rep. Mark Lawson. “His visits to Sapulpa and Creek County are something we truly value. Taking the time to discuss the issues with us is appreciated. He and Christie are welcome in House District 30 any time.”
