Meet Chaunté Gilmore

I’ve spent my life showing up for people,

I'm ready to continue that work at the State Capitol.

From Putnam City High School to serving patients as a healthcare professional, to leading in organizations across Oklahoma, my life has been rooted in service. Inspired by my grandmother, a community and civic leader, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others grow, heal, and succeed.

Chaunté moved to Oklahoma City in 1996 and is a proud graduate of Putnam City High School, “The Original.” She continued her education at Oklahoma City Community College, where she earned her associate degree in physical therapy, before completing her Bachelor’s degree in Allied Health at Oklahoma State University. She later earned her Master of Business Administration with a focus in Healthcare Administration from Mid-America Christian University.

As a practicing Physical Therapist Assistant, Chaunté has dedicated her career to helping others heal and thrive. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she served on the frontlines as a therapist, providing care to patients during one of the most challenging times in recent history. Her work in healthcare has given her firsthand insight into the gaps in our system, and fuels her commitment to making healthcare more accessible and effective for all Oklahomans.

Beyond her professional career, Chaunté has been deeply involved in her community through numerous leadership roles and civic organizations. She has served as an officer in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, and held key leadership positions with New Leaders Council, including Oklahoma Chapter Director and Director Emeritus. Her commitment to service also includes involvement with Oklahoma City Young Professionals, the Junior League of Oklahoma City, the Greater OKC Urban League Guild, Leadership Oklahoma City, and Oklahoma City Rotary-Club 29.

I’m not a career politician. I’m a healthcare worker, a community leader, and someone who has spent years doing the work, not just talking about it. I’m running to bring real leadership, real experience, and real results to the State Capitol.

"I’m running for State Representative because I believe in giving back to the community that gave so much to me, and making sure the next generation has even more opportunity."

"I’ve seen where our system falls short, and I know we can do better. Oklahoma families deserve someone who understands their struggles firsthand and is ready to fight for real solutions."
