Mauree Turner aka Mauree Nivek Rajah Salima Turner was Created in 1993 and raised in Oklahoma in a Combined Baptist and Muslim Family.
Mauree produced history and in the entire nation, there are just genderqueer or non-binary-identified elected officials functioning. In a meeting with HuffPost, Mauree explained that "I'm Muslim, femme, queer, born and raised in Oklahoma -- politics was the very last thing in my crosshairs."
Later, Turner added,"Oklahomans have representation that doesn't have our shared lived experience -- which has not been at a family that had to live off SNAP benefits, [or] a single-parent household because one parent has been incarcerated."
After winning the election to district 88 in Oklahoma City, Mauree stated "Y’I can honestly say I never anticipated this when we started. Before this election, I only cried when I talked about my family and how much they mean to me. Now I cry when I discuss the Small household, the Jovanna's, the Community food-based systems, the Activist, the Organizers. I can't help but cry when I talk about House District 88 all that it retains and all that we're getting ready to do. And it is really easy to talk about all that we are getting ready to do since we've been doing it"
Afterward, concluded the statement "I have a good deal of feelings about tonight. But overall, I am thankful for HD88 giving me this opportunity."
