John Sparks is the Oklahoma Senator representing District 16, which includes portions of Cleveland and McClain counties, since 2006. Sparks having grown up on a ranch outside of Sulphur, Oklahoma has paid special attention to matters affecting ranching. The Oklahoma Cattleman's Association named him the legislator of the year on the part of his work.[1] Sparks made headline in late 2009 when he proposed a "Second Amendment Weekend." that would make handguns and rifles tax free.[2] He was re-elected in 2010 defeating Sharon Parker 10,507 to 9,460 votes.[3][4]
