| Husband, father, community leader, businessman and attorney - State Senator Glenn Coffee is a proven advocate for Oklahoma citizens, families, and businesses. First elected to the State Senate in 1998, Coffee quickly gained a reputation as an up and coming leader, passing legislation to better protect the public against sex offenders and end inconvenient and outdated requirements on vehicle inspections. He was re-elected without opposition in 2002 and the following session helped protect Oklahoma consumers by passing legislation helping them fight back against unwanted computer spam. He was once again unopposed for re-election in 2006. History was made in November 2006 general elections, which resulted in a tie between Republicans and Democrats in the State Senate—a first since statehood. As part of a power-sharing agreement between the two caucuses, Senator Coffee was elected as Oklahoma’s first Co President Pro Tempore of the Senate, with members of both parties sharing equally in the day-to-day management of the chamber and co-chairing all committees. The agreement also called for Senator Coffee to have the title of Pro Tempore of the Senate during July, 2007, the first Republican to hold this office in state history. Senator Coffee received his undergraduate degree in Political Science from Northeastern State University in 1989 and was named Outstanding Senior. He received his law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 1992. Senator Coffee is a member of the Oklahoma County, State and American Bar Associations. He is an active member of Leadership Oklahoma, Leadership OKC Fast Track and the NSU Alumni Association. Recent honors include NSU’s 2003 Citation of Merit, Young Alumnus award. In addition, Senator Coffee was selected for membership in Durocher’s “Forty Under 40” for 2003. The group includes individuals recognized as being among the most influential young business and community leaders in the Oklahoma City metro area. He was also select for the Journal Record’s “Forty Under 40” honor in 2006. He is currently a member of Phillips, McFall, McCaffrey, McVay & Murrah Law Firm and specializes in the areas of business, commercial and electronic commerce law. Senator Coffee lives in Oklahoma City with his wife Lisa and their four children, sons Collin and Blaine and daughters Anna and Kate.
