SPRING MORROW – candidate for State House of Representatives, District 15
By Spring Morrow,

Spring Morrow, a dedicated individual from Checotah, Oklahoma, is a passionate advocate for elder care and the healthcare system. Raised by her Aunt Rose and Uncle Howard, Spring was instilled with core traditional values, strong work ethics, integrity, and the impor-tance of being a good and honest human. Her career with Diakonos Group, a locally owned healthcare company, has inspired her to pursue a political career.

Spring is married to Monty Morrow, a retired First Sergeant of the United States Army, and together they run a small cattle operation in McIntosh County. They have four children, Alyssa Johnson, Dylan Johnson, Ethan Morrow, and Matthew Morrow, with Matthew currently serving in the United States Army. Additionally, they have two grandsons, Max and Mason, who reside in Ft. Carson, Colorado.

Spring is a member of the Case Management Society of America and serves on the board for the Eastern Oklahoma division. She also holds the position of Vice President of the Green Country Cattlewomen’s Association. Spring attended the Care Providers of Oklahoma Leadership Academy in 2023, furthering her knowledge and expertise in healthcare.

She is passionate about volunteering at the Special Olympics summer games and actively supports her community through involvement in local events and charities. Spring and Monty are dedicated members of the Checotah Chamber of Commerce and belong to the Checotah First Free Will Baptist Church. Additionally, Spring enjoys attending Women’s Christian monthly meetings at Quail Ridge in Oklahoma City.

With a background in sales, marketing, and nursing, Spring has spent the past 12 years cultivating relationships with hospitals. During the Covid outbreak, she played a crucial role in procuring and delivering PPE to healthcare providers statewide. Spring was recognized as an “Amazing Oklahoman” in March 2021 for her unwavering support to the healthcare industry during the COVID crisis.

She advocates for lower taxes, supports small businesses, upholds traditional family values, and is deeply committed to assisting Oklahoma families, particularly grandparents raising grandchildren.

Every year, Spring’s family chooses a family where the grandparents are raising their grandchildren and provides Christmas gifts to support them.

Spring’s primary focus is on representing the voices of her constituents and implementing the changes they desire. She is dedicated to being a true representative of the people in her district, ensuring their needs are met and their voices are heard. Spring’s ultimate goal is to fight for a better future for your kids and grandkids, prioritizing their well-being and the prosperity of the community.

• I am dedicated to supporting our veterans.

• I believe in reducing the tax burden on hardworking people.

• I am committed to addressing the challenges facing Oklahoma’s education system, including advocating for policies that empower parents, teachers, and students to succeed.

• I will fight for policies that protect and promote the interests of our hardworking farmers.

• I understand the importance of small businesses in driving Oklahoma’s economy and will work to reduce burdensome regulations and promote policies that foster growth and innovation.

• I will defend the Second Amendment rights of Oklahomans and advocate for policies that protect our constitutional freedoms to bear arms responsibly.
