Brian Maughan Oklahoma County Commissioner Brian Maughan began his four-year term January 2nd, 2009 and was re-elected to a second term in 2012 with some 75 percent of the vote. District Two includes the communities of Bethany, Warr Acres, Choctaw, Harrah and Nicoma Park, as well as unincorporated areas in eastern Oklahoma County and areas of west, northwest and south Oklahoma City. He currently serves as vice chairman of the Board of County Commissioners.

Prior to election, Maughan worked as a Public Affairs Consultant for AT&T, providing strategic legislative and regulatory guidance.

Before joining AT&T, Maughan served as the director of economic development for Oklahoma County District Two and as a public information officer for Oklahoma County Emergency Management and Oklahoma County District Three. Maughan also has considerable experience as a field director, consultant and fundraiser for the Oklahoma Republican Party.

In 2003, Maughan co-founded and now serves as President of Marketing Dimensions, a consulting and marketing firm for both businesses and campaigns.

Maughan is past president for the South Oklahoma City Rotary Club and the U.S. Grant High School Alumni Association. He previously served on the board for the South Oklahoma City Chamber, as Chairman of the YMCA Central District, and was appointed by Governor Frank Keating and later by Governor Mary Fallin to the Oklahoma Developmental Disability Council. Maughan also is involved in the Wheelchair Foundation working with his rotary club to raise funds for the organization. In 2012 he was named one of 40 achievers under 40 by Distinctly Oklahoma magazine. He is also a member of the board of central Oklahoma City’s Sister Cities organization. In 2012 he was named to the boards of the Central Oklahoma Chapter of the American Red Cross and of the Christmas Connection. He also serves on the Board of Trustees for the Oklahoma City National Memorial Foundation and is treasurer of the South Oklahoma City Rotary Foundation.

Shortly after assuming office, Maughan created the successful SHINE program which organizes low-level non-violent offenders in community service work crews to remove graffiti and trash and beautify and improve the community. SHINE stands for Start Helping Impacted Neighborhoods Everywhere. That effort has saved taxpayers more than $1.5 million and won widespread acclaim. It is also the model for a new statewide law passed in 2012 to allow other counties to duplicate the SHINE program. A companion program, SHINE for Students, rewards young people for community service work.

In 2007, Maughan was inducted into the Oklahoma City Community College Hall of Fame for his distinguished service to the community.

Maughan is a 1995 graduate of U.S. Grant High School. He also attended Oklahoma City Community College, obtaining associate degrees in Journalism, Broadcasting, and Public Relations.
