State Central Committee

2023-25 State Executive Officers

Chair

Alicia Andrews

*Democratic National Committee Member

Alicia Andrews is the Chair of the Oklahoma Democratic Party, serving her second term.

Prior to becoming Chair, Alicia served as the Secretary of the Tulsa County Democratic Party while working as a licensed REALTOR™. Her involvement in politics results from her desire to “do something” to make a difference in the world. This desire has evolved into her life motto:

Everyone should have access to the ballot box, be educated when they get there, and have confidence that their vote will count.

She comes from a family of doers and firsts.

As the first state party chair of either recognized party of African American descent, she recognizes both the obligation to make it count and the need to acknowledge those that paved the way. Being the first is not enough. Alicia feels it incumbent upon her to get beyond the first and do something. Currently, that something is improving the political discourse in Oklahoma.

On a national level, Alicia is an active member of the DNC and Association of State Democratic Committees, serving on the Executive Committee as the Chair of the Midwest Region, the Co-Chair of the Training Committee, and a member of the steering committee of the Rural Council.

Alicia has been featured on CNN, FoxNews, BBC, various Oklahoma-based television stations, Sirius XM, and NPR radio, and in print both internationally and domestically, from the New York Times to the Urdu News in Pakistan.

Alicia is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Following graduation, she began a corporate career that focused on organizational redesign and customer service. For a brief period, Alicia consulted with small business start-ups, writing business plans that resulted in bank funding. She draws upon this experience in her work as the chair.

In addition to her political work, Alicia serves on the board of the American Theatre Company and enjoys traveling with her family.
