CHRIS MERIDETH
REPUBLICAN FOR OKLAHOMA INSURANCE COMMISSIONER
Chris brings a level of insurance and regulatory experience that is both broader and deeper than any other candidate in this race. Over nearly 25 years, Chris has worked across the full insurance ecosystem—operations, agency, and public policy—not just observing the system, but leading it and changing it.
