Michael A. Brittingham
Republican for Oklahoma State Representative – District 19
Mike Brittingham is a native of Pushmataha County. Born in Hugo and raised in Moyers, he’s called this corner of Oklahoma home his entire life. A proud 1980 graduate of Antlers High School, Mike has spent decades giving back to the community that shaped him.
Growing up, Mike learned the value of hard work early on. He stocked shelves at his family’s grocery store and swung a hammer on construction and roofing jobs with his dad during school breaks. After high school, he joined Pruett’s Grocery, where he worked for 10 years, starting as a junior. In 1989, Mike took on a demanding role as a UPS package car driver while building his own business, Brittingham Grocery. Not one to sit still, he later expanded the business, constructing a new building and adding a laundromat and 45 storage units.
In 2010, Mike’s passion for serving others led him to public office. Elected as Pushmataha County Commissioner for District 1, he sold his businesses to focus on the needs of his neighbors. Voters showed their trust in him, re-electing him in 2014 with 73% of the vote and twice more without opposition. For 12 of his 15 years as a commissioner, Mike served as Chairman of the Board, earning a reputation for bringing people together to get things done. His leadership has secured millions in funding for roads, bridges, and other infrastructure through partnerships with local, tribal, and federal agencies.
