John A. Sullivan was born and raised in Tulsa,
Oklahoma where his parents Daniel and Mag instilled in him the rich
appreciation of family that he espouses today. A fourth generation
Oklahoman, Sullivan graduated from Northeastern State University and
chose to raise his own family in Tulsa where he presently resides.
Sullivan married Judy Beck and together they have four beautiful
children.
Sullivan’s approach to public service is rooted in
his background as a small businessman. His experience in
transportation, energy, and real estate yields a unique
understanding of the challenges facing everyday Oklahomans. Sullivan
achieved success with this approach during the seven years he served
in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, and continues this charge
today in the United States House of Representatives.
Sullivan was sworn into Congress on February 27th,
2002. Since that time, Sullivan has achieved many legislative
successes for Oklahoma, earning him a reputation as a hard worker.
As a new member, Sullivan was appointed by Speaker Hastert to the
Prescription Drug Task Force where Sullivan and other select Members
of Congress were charged with lowering the cost of prescription
medicines. Sullivan is committed to economic development in
Northeastern Oklahoma, and legislation that he ushered to passage
will deepen the McClellan-Kerr waterway from nine feet to twelve
feet, bringing with it the prospect of new businesses and jobs.
Sullivan, an outspoken supporter of immigration reform, brought new
agents and increased immigration enforcement to the Oklahoma field
office of the former INS, renamed the Bureau of Citizenship and
Immigration services.
Sullivan continues to work on issues vital to the
growth of Oklahoma, like support for the twin economic engines of
Energy and Aerospace in our state. Sullivan is also committed to
responsible stewardship of taxpayer money, authoring money-saving
legislation because the government does not know how best to spend
your hard-earned dollars. Congressman John Sullivan has, during his
short time in Congress, demonstrated the pioneering spirit of
Oklahomans. In one such instance, Sullivan cast a dramatic
tie-breaking vote to improve the Head Start program. His hard work
has been recognized by Congressional leaders, as evidenced by his
appointment to the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee. The
Energy and Commerce Committee is widely regarded as the most prized
and powerful because it holds the largest jurisdiction of any
committee in Congress.
