Political career
Greg Childers began his political career being elected by Oklahoma's Senate District 43 to the Oklahoma Senate on October 11, 2011.[1] He won the seat in a special election held after his predecessor, Jim Reynolds, resigned after being elected as the Cleveland County treasurer, beating out Democrat Kennith Meador.[2]
Childers held positions on the Education, Finance, Veterans & Military Affairs, Public Safety and Appropriations Subcommittee on Public Safety and Judiciary Committees.[1]
In February, he endorsed Newt Gingrich's 2012 presidential campaign.[3]
Childers did not run for re-election in the 2012 election, because his Senate district was redistricted and he no longer lived within its boundaries.[4]
Childers was appointed mayor of Del City by the city council on April 20, 2026 to fulfil the unexpired term of Mayor Floyd Eason, who had resigned.[5][6]
