November 18, 2020 - /PressAdvantage/ - The local blog scene in Oklahoma City is buzzing about the election of Mauree Turner, the first Muslim and Non-Binary lawmaker in the state. Posts from locals and local businesses such as this one from the site of an Oklahoma City medical spa talk about Ms. Turner’s victory and its effect on the underrepresented minorities in the US.
The post touches on the volatility of the nation where the results of the presidential election, as of the time of writing, were still undecided. At the same time, it highlights that the election results, for other lesser-known races, have been decided across the country. The post then brings attention to Oklahoma’s newly-elected Muslim lawmaker who has just become the first open, and highest-ranked non-binary official in the country. The article cites articles from The Washington Post and CNN on November 5th as its main sources.
According to the article, Mauree Turner tried to recruit other Oklahoma City activists to run for state office, insisting that it was important to send underrepresented candidates — queer, or working-class, or people of color — to the state capitol. But many of those approached instead turned to Turner, a 27-year-old criminal justice advocate, and reversed the proposition, compelling her to run for office herself.
Mauree Turner started out as an activist and community organizer in Oklahoma, tackling immigration, race, and criminal issues. Living as a Black Muslim American Queer Woman in the state of Oklahoma, she experienced not being seen or heard by lawmakers. Her campaign ran on a platform of seeking to drive conversations about what inclusive representation looks like. The new article calls Mauree Turner’s electoral victory a defining moment for Queer, Muslim, and African-American people in Oklahoma, and the whole U.S.
