John Sparks is the Oklahoma Senator representing District 16, which includes portions of Cleveland and McClain counties, since 2006. He was re-elected in 2010 defeating Sharon Parker 10,507 to 9,460 votes.
Having grown up on a ranch outside Sulphur, Oklahoma, Sparks has paid special attention to matters affecting ranching and the Oklahoma Cattleman's Association named him the legislator of the year on account of his work.
Sparks made the headlines in late 2009 when he proposed a Second Amendment Weekend that would make handguns and rifles tax free.
