Scott Fetgatter (born July 4, 1968) is a Choctaw American politician who has served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from the 16th district since 2016.[1][2] He was re-elected by default in 2020.[3]

Personal Life

A native of Okmulgee, he moved there with his family in 1972. He is married to his wife, Kim, and they have two children, Cody and Meagan, as well as four grandchildren.

Before his election, he owned a construction company specializing in theme construction. He has also worked in sales and marketing for a web-based technology company, as well as in the grocery business.[4]

Legislative Career

As a first-year legislator, he was crucial in extending the aerospace engineering incentives.[5] He helped prolong three tax credits for eight years, which created more stability and growth for aerospace companies. Two years after the extension, the aerospace industry became Oklahoma's second-largest economic driver, surpassing agriculture.

Notably, Fetgatter authored the Automotive Engineering Tax Credit[6] and secured four million dollars in funding for the Governor's Quick Action Closing Fund, demonstrating his commitment to fostering economic development and stability in Oklahoma.

In 2021, he authored the Filmed in Oklahoma Act,[7] creating one of the most competitive film incentives in the nation. Notable productions following the legislation include Killers of the Flower Moon and Reservation Dogs, along with many other smaller films and documentaries.

As Chairman of the House A&B Finance Committee for six years, Fetgatter has led initiatives to promote business-friendly policies in Oklahoma. He also serves on the Appropriation and Budget, Alcohol, Tobacco and Substances, and Agriculture Committees.[8]

Fetgatter is a Choctaw Nation citizen and staunch supporter of tribal sovereignty while also representing the state's interests, fostering collaboration between tribal and state entities. During the past eight years, Fetgatter has been dedicated to promoting economic development and diversity in Oklahoma to make the state more business-friendly. His favorite part of the job is assisting his constituents in House District 16 with their daily needs.[9]
