Toni Hasenbeck (born August 17, 1971) is an American politician who has served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from the 65th district since 2018.[1][2]
Oklahoma House of Representatives
Hasenbeck ran in the 2014 state house election to succeed Joe Dorman as a member of the Democratic Party.[3] She was defeated by Scooter Park, who she successfully primaried in 2018 as a member of the Republican Party, criticizing Park's vote to raise taxes to fund teacher wages.[4] She served in the 57th Oklahoma Legislature and 58th Oklahoma Legislature.
58th Legislature
Women's rights legislation
In April 2021, Rep. Hasenbeck revived a bill by Justin Humphrey that would ban transgender athletes from participating in women's sports.[5] She justified her support using trans exclusionary feminist language saying "this is not an anti-transgender bill at all... this is an absolutely pro-female-athlete bill."[6] Rep. Mauree Turner criticized the legislation saying "denying the existence of trans children is absolutely absurd."[6]
