Former Oklahoma House Speaker and U.S. Senate candidate T.W. Shannon has taken a job in Tulsa and plans to move his family to the area in the near future.
“We fell in love with Tulsa during the (Senate) campaign,” said Shannon. “We liked the faith community here, and I also really liked the upward mobility opportunities for people of my generation.”
Shannon said the move has “no political motivation” and that a re-entry into politics “is not on my horizon at all.”
Shannon began Monday as a managing director of Premier Consulting Partners, a financial services firm recently spun off from SpiritBank. The company said Shannon is heading a new national community bank division.
“T.W. Shannon is phenomenal at relationship-building and he’ll be able to continue to cultivate relationships by assisting community banks on behalf of Premier,” Chief Executive Officer Russell Brown said in a press release.
