Arturo Alonso-Sandoval

Arturo Alonso-Sandoval is the youngest member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, representing District 89 on the south side of Oklahoma City. A first-generation American born in Boise, Idaho, he lived in Guanajuato, Mexico until age four before his family settled in Oklahoma City. The son of immigrant parents from Guanajuato — his father a landscaper and his mother a hotel service worker — Arturo and his twin brother Alberto were the first in the Sandoval family to graduate from high school and college. He turned down a near-six-figure engineering job offer from Samsung in Austin, Texas after graduating to stay and run for office when community leaders urged him to seek the open HD-89 seat.
