Hello from the great State of Oklahoma! My name is Senator Constance N. Johnson, and I was elected to the Oklahoma State Senate in a 2005 special election upset,and re-elected in 2006, after 24 years on Senate staff researching and drafting laws on issues ranging from birth to death. My uniqueness in Oklahoma's term-limited Legislature, gives me an in-depth knowledge of the issues and extensive experience in the legislative process. I focus considerable efforts on increasing citizen awareness about the role and power of involvement via advocacy and communication in the legislative process. I am Co-Chair of Senate Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence, and I also, am a member of the Appropriations Subcommittee on General Government and Transportation, and the Health and Human Resources, Public Safety and Homeland Security, and General Government Standing Committees. A Holdenville, Oklahoma, native, I am the daughter of educators, the mother of three and a new grandmother. I graduated with honors from Frederick Douglass Sr. High in Oklahoma City, and earned a full scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania, where I graduated with a degree in French and completed coursework towards a Masters of Science in Education. I am a 2009 Master's Candidate in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling at Langston University. My mission and passion is giving back in service to the community from which I have so richly benefitted.
