Born and raised in Oklahoma, Tom Sutherlin is the descendent of farmers who came to Oklahoma Territory in the 1890s. His father was a machinist and his mother was a nurse. After graduating from OSU, he was drafted into the U.S. Army, where he served in Vietnam. He moved to Lawton in 1972 and began a career at Cameron University, teaching courses in drafting, engineering, and computer programming.

 

Tom and his wife, Nan, raised their family in Lawton, sending their kids to Lawton Public Schools. Now Tom wants to take his experience to represent us at the State Capitol.
