Commissioner Todd Hiett

Todd Hiett is a life-long Oklahoman committed to his faith, family, community of Kellyville and our state. A dedicated cattle rancher and entrepreneur, Hiett entered public service in 1995 at the age of 27. He would proudly serve the residents of District 29 in the Oklahoma House of Representatives and lead the political sea change as the Republican party ushered in a new era in Oklahoma politics moving from its longtime minority party status to take over the state house in 2004.

Recognized by his colleagues for his unassuming and pragmatic style of leadership, Hiett was a natural choice in 2002 to serve as House Minority Leader. Here, he paved the way for the Republican Party taking control of the state house for the first time in 80 years. Hiett would become only the second Republican Speaker of the House in state history. Under his leadership, a number of critical economic development, education reform, agricultural enhancement and rural growth pieces of legislation would become law.

Leaving the legislature after a successful 12-year tenure, Hiett returned to his business roots. He worked with various entities in the banking, manufacturing, navigation and energy industries. As a legislator, Hiett raised the bar for curriculum standards and graduation requirements. In the private sector, his business acumen was shared with many pro-growth companies such as Webco Industries and Callidus Technologies.

Public Service would again call when Hiett successfully ran statewide for the office of Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner. After being sworn into office in 2015, Hiett wasted little time delving into his crucial role regulating the state’s oil and gas industry, public utilities, and other business entities.

As part of a three-member panel, Hiett has twice served as Commission Chairman. His efforts on behalf of ratepayers have led to a stable regulatory environment while promoting innovation and efficiency in Oklahoma’s energy sector.

Hiett is married to Bridget Hiett, an administrator at Kellyville Elementary School. The pair have three children. Sons Jimmy and John, and daughter Hillary, who, like their parents, are graduates of Oklahoma State University.

The Hiett’s continue to operate their ranch in Kellyville. The Commissioner also serves on the SpiritBank board of directors and as a member of the SpiritBank Corp. Holding Co.
