Lonnie Paxton (born August 8, 1968) is an American politician who has served in the Oklahoma Senate from the 23rd district since 2016.[1][2]

Oklahoma Senate

Paxton was re-elected by default in 2020.[3] In 2023, he authored Senate Bill 1006 which died in the Senate. It would have lessened the penalties for cockfighting in the state, similar to House Bill 2530, authored by Justin Humphrey and also Paxton.[4] Those bills died in the same timeframe.[5] A third bill in 2023, that Mike Osburn co-authored Dave Rader[6] was House Bill 1792. It would have lessened the penalties of dogfighting and cockfighting in the state of Oklahoma as well, which also sparked pushback from animal rights advocates.[7]
