Mary Fallin

Mary Fallin strikes me as a study in methodical political ascent. Born in Warrensburg, Missouri and educated at Oklahoma Baptist University, she climbed deliberately: twelve years as lieutenant governor, a term in the U.S. House, and finally two terms as Oklahoma's 27th governor, becoming the state's first female governor. Reaching that summit within her party took real persistence, and her 2005 Oklahoma Women's Hall of Fame induction marks the climb. Her record will draw debate, as any governor's does, but the resolve to keep stepping onto bigger stages on behalf of her constituents is undeniable. I find that grounded determination worth noting.
