Regina Goodwin
Politician; Member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives from the 73rd District
Regina Goodwin is an American politician who has served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from the 73rd district since 2015. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and raised in Tulsa's historic Greenwood District, which is commonly known as Black Wall Street, Goodwin is a descendant of a survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre. She is the daughter of Edward Goodwin, Jr. and the granddaughter of Edward L. Goodwin, both of whom were long time editors of The Oklahoma Eagle, Oklahoma's longest-running Black-owned newspaper.
Goodwin was elected to serve as State Representative, Tulsa House District 73 in a 2015 special election. Goodwin is Assistant Minority Floor Leader and the Chair of the Oklahoma Legislative Black Caucus, which is made of up seven members.
Goodwin has worked on issues related to public education, housing, health care, and police reform. In 2019, she highlighted possible instances of excessive use of force by Tulsa police officers, following the 2016 killing of Terrence Crutcher by Tulsa police officer, Betty Shelby, and the 2017 Tulsa police killing of Joshua Barre. In 2020, Goodwin and other members of the Black Caucus again called for police reform, when Tulsa police stopped two African American boys walking down a street and detained them for jaywalking. Police body cam footage showed one officer sitting on one of the boys while holding the back of his neck and pressing his face to the ground.
