Philip Matthew Pinnell (born August 15, 1979) is an American politician serving as the 17th lieutenant governor of Oklahoma, since 2019.
Pinnell graduated from Metro Christian Academy in Tulsa, Oklahoma,[4] and Oral Roberts University.
[9] Pinnell defeated Democratic candidate Anastasia Pittman in the lieutenant gubernatorial election on November 6.
[16] In June 2023, after severe storms hit parts of Oklahoma that involved hurricane-force winds and tornadic activity that knocked out power for days for more than 100,000 energy customers during severe heat waves, Pinnell did not inform Greg Treat that he was the acting Governor who could declare a state of emergency, which Treat eventually did days after the event.
[17] Treat was not informed ahead of time he was acting Governor while Stitt was in Paris and Pinnell was also out of state.
