Rande Worthen (born July 16, 1956) is an American politician who has served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from the 64th district since 2016.[1][2]

He and his wife have four children. He and his family attend First Baptist Church of Lawton.[3]

Campaigns

In 2022, Rande Worthen ran on a campaign of supporting police officers and first responders and said he wanted to focus on eliminating organized retail theft.[4]

House of Representatives

He is the chair of the House Judiciary - Criminal Committee.[5] His Vice Chair is Collin Duel.

In 2024, the Oklahoma House passed a bill, authored by Tammy West and Todd Gollihare, that would "do away with the $40 monthly probation fees typically paid during the first two years of an individual's probation," though Getner Drummond said the District Attorneys Council was "in compliance with the law." Drummond noted, however, "that the Legislature had earlier increased funding to district attorneys to offset losses of offender fees being redirected to the state's general revenue fund." Only representative Rande Worthen voted against the bill in the House.[6]

He voted against HB 3329 which still passed the house floor. It is intended to provide free menstrual products in school bathrooms.[7] He voted in favor of a bill that would require adults to show and ID before accessing porn sites.[8]
