Sengstock campaigning for state representative in District 50

Feeling that District 50 needs “an actual conservative,” Jennifer Sengstock has thrown her hat into the ring to become the next state representative from the district.

“For far too long our GOP elected officials have used the influence of the Republican Party to get elected, only to flip flop and fight against our most basic and fundamental rights,” Sengstock says in her campaign literature. “I am 100 percent pro-life, pro-2A, pro-agriculture, a constitutionally conservative Christian who believes in limited government in all cases.”

Sengstock grew up in East Texas and after high school graduation, attended Texas A&M where she received her degree in marine biology. She worked at a chemical company starting out as a chemical technician and working her way up into research and development, where she received a couple of patents.

“I enjoyed the job, but God led us here to Oklahoma, and we’ve been here almost 10 years,” Sengstock said at her booth at the Chisholm Trail Trading Post on Saturday.

They had purchased a farm and she left the private sector to work on the farm. She also did some substitute teaching. In 2017, she went to surgical tech school and after graduating in 2018, went to work at Duncan Regional Hospital.

“I know God called me into the medical field but he called me to be in the medical field for a time when our freedoms are being taken away and to stand up for our rights,” Sengstock said. “And that’s why I’m running against Marcus McEntire because he wasn’t there for us when we asked him to sign on for that special session.”

After that, Sengstock decided she had enough and felt God was leading her to run for office, and declared her candidacy in January. The primaries will be in June.

“The experience has been overwhelming,” Sengstock said. “For one, people are ready for a change. They’re ready for their rights to be heard, their voices to be heard. They don’t want a politician, they want a representative.”

Sengstock she is just the one for that job. She says she wants to write bills for constituents and people that make sense and that are for the people.

“(Bills) that are for our rights, our freedoms, our Second Amendment,” Sengstock said.

Sengstock says she is interested in stopping federal overreach.

“If we don’t have laws and regulations in place to protect our people here and if we’re not pretecting them then we are not doing our job,” Sengstock said. “And our federal government is not going to stop. They’re going to keep overreaching. And they’ve gone outside of the bounds of what they should be doing anyway.”

Sengstock says she will soon be going door-to-door in the district to meet voters.
