Mary Fallin, född 9 december 1954 i Warrensburg, Missouri, är en amerikansk republikansk politiker. Hon var guvernör i Oklahoma från 2011 till 2019.
Tidigare (2007–2011) representerade hon delstaten Oklahomas femte valkrets i USA:s representanthus och har varit viceguvernör i Oklahoma (1995–2007). Fallin var den första kvinnliga viceguvernören i Oklahomas historia. Fallin är även den första kvinnliga guvernören i Oklahoma.[1]
Karriär
Fallin studerade vid Oklahoma Baptist University, Oklahoma State University och University of Central Oklahoma fram till 1977.
Fallin besegrade demokraten David Hunter i mellanårsvalet i USA 2006. Hon omvaldes lätt två år senare.
Guvernör i Oklahoma
Mary FalliHon kandiderade i guvernörsvalet i Oklahoma 2010 och vann. Den 10 januari 2011 tillträdde hon som guvernör i Oklahoma. Fallin omvaldes för ytterligare en mandatperiod den 4 november 2014 då hon besegrade demokraten Joe Dorman.
I en proklamation i september 2016 deklarerade Fallin 13 oktober 2016 att vara oljefältbönedag, den uppmanar kristna att "tacka Gud för välsignelsen skapad av olje- och naturgasindustrin och att söka hans visdom och be om skydd." Proklamationen lockade kritik eftersom det ursprungligen endast var begränsat till kristna. Följande dessa protester ändrade Fallin proklamationen att inkludera människor av "all tro."[2]
I en intervju från april 2018 liknade Fallin lärare som krävde lönehöjningar med "en tonåring som vill ha en bättre bil" och hävdade att "antifa"(vänster extrema aktivister) var inblandade i en Oklahoma-lärares strejk; dessa kommentarer retade upp lärare.[3]
Allmän åsikt
En rapport från Morning Consult i mitten av 2018, mot slutet av Fallins sista mandatperiod, betecknade henne som "den mest opopulära guvernören i landet"; 19 procent av Oklahomas registrerade väljare godkände hennes jobbprestation, medan 74 procent ej godkände.[4]
Abortlagstiftning
I december 2016 tecknade Fallin i lag en proposition för att kräva att alla Oklahomas institutioner för hälsoreglerade enheter, inklusive restauranger, offentliga byggnader, sjukhus och småföretag, att installera anti-abortskyltar i sina offentliga toaletter i januari 2018. I propositionen finns ingen statlig finansiering för skyltarna, vilket kräver att företagen betalar den uppskattade kostnaden (uppskattas till 2.3 miljoner dollar).[5]

Mary Fallin (born December 9, 1954) is an American politician who is the 27th and current governor of Oklahoma. A member of the Republican Party, Fallin was elected governor in 2010.
Born in Warrensburg, Missouri, Fallin is a graduate of Oklahoma State University and a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Beginning her career working for multiple Oklahoma state government agencies after college, Fallin entered the private sector in 1983, becoming a regional hotel manager and a real estate broker. Entering a career in politics, Fallin was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives in 1990. She served two terms in the Oklahoma House, representing a district in Oklahoma City, from 1990 to 1995. In 1994, Fallin was elected to serve as the 14th lieutenant governor of Oklahoma; being elected to a total of three terms, she served under two different governors from 1995 to 2007. After seven term Republican incumbent Ernest Istook announced that he would retire from his seat to run for governor, Fallin declared her candidacy for Oklahoma's 5th congressional district, where she was elected to two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2007 to 2011.
In September 2009, Fallin announced her intentions to run for the Republican nomination for governor of Oklahoma. She defeated three other opponents with 54% of the vote in the Republican primary and went on to defeat Democratic nominee, Lieutenant governor Jari Askins, with 60% of the vote in the general election. She was sworn into office of January 10, 2011.
Fallin was the second woman elected to the United States Congress from Oklahoma and the first since 1921 when Alice Mary Robertson was elected to Congress and served for one term from 1921 to 1923. She was also the first Republican and first woman to serve as Oklahoma's lieutenant governor, as well as the first woman to serve as governor in Oklahoma's state history.
Fallin's fourth year as governor of Oklahoma has been notable because of serious controversy surrounding her support for the execution of Clayton Lockett which was botched in April 2014.
