Meet Amy
Amy is a proven leader who believes in people, progress, and the power of community. From the open fields of Kansas to the heart of Tulsa, she has spent her life fighting for fairness, opportunity, and a future where every Oklahoman can thrive.
"I’m running because too many Oklahoma families are struggling just to get by, and it doesn’t have to be this way. Every family deserves a safe and affordable place to live, access to quality healthcare that doesn’t break the bank, and public schools that prepare our children for the world ahead
I’ve seen what happens when hardworking people are left behind. I’ve also seen the strength that comes when communities invest in one another. I’m running to make sure our leaders put people first, to ensure that affordable housing isn’t a privilege, that healthcare is accessible, and that every child in Oklahoma has access to a safe, comprehensive, and high-quality education. Because when our families do well, our entire state moves forward."

Her leadership is rooted in fairness, equity, and the belief that every person deserves dignity and safety.

Today, she continues her advocacy as President and founding member of the Oklahoma Hawaiian Asian American Pacific Islanders Democratic Federation (OHAAPI Dems), where she fights to elevate AAPI voices and promote inclusive, people-focused policy across the state.
Her commitment to our community runs deep.

As Board President of the Khan Ohana Foundation, she helps break the cycle of generational poverty through education, mentorship, and access to resources because lasting change begins with opportunity.
Rooted in Hard Work and Heart
Amy’s values were born in the heartland. Adopted from Seoul, South Korea, into a hardworking Kansas farming family, she learned early the power of resilience, community, and perseverance. Life on the farm meant early mornings, long days, and lessons in endurance and cooperation. As the only Asian adoptee in her small town, Amy learned to stand tall in the face of difference and to stand up for others who felt unseen.
In 1998, Amy and her husband made Tulsa home, raising two children who graduated from Booker T. Washington High School. They now live in Owasso, where they remain active in local service and civic life.
A Vision for Oklahoma’s Future
Amy’s story is proof that when we invest in people, anything is possible. She’s running to make sure every Oklahoman, no matter their background or ZIP code, has the opportunity to succeed.
Her vision is clear:
Affordable living and housing so families can build stability and security.
Accessible, affordable healthcare because no one should have to choose between medicine and groceries.
Safe, comprehensive, high-quality education that prepares every child to thrive in tomorrow’s world.
In every chapter of her life, Amy has led with heart, courage, and conviction. Now, she’s ready to lead for all of us to build a fairer, stronger Oklahoma where everyone has a chance to rise.
