ABOUT DENNIS

My name is Dennis McCollough. I’m a lifelong Oklahoman, born and raised in Porter, and proudly rooted in Wagoner County. My family first moved to this area around 1907, and for generations we’ve built our lives here—running small businesses, raising cattle, and working the land as farmers and ranchers. I grew up learning the values that still guide me today: hard work, honesty, and helping your neighbors. From a young age, I understood that consistency, fairness, and common sense matter.

​

For more than 38 years, I’ve had the honor of serving the people of Oklahoma through the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. In that time, I’ve worked across all 77 counties, maintaining and enhancing our state’s natural resources and rural farming heritage. But I haven’t just managed land and wildlife—I’ve worked with the farmers, ranchers, landowners, and sportsmen who rely on them every day. From outdoorsmen to legislators, I’ve built a reputation as a no-nonsense, boots-on-the-ground public servant who gets things done with integrity.

​

I’m not a politician—and I don’t pretend to be one. I’m a husband, a father, a Christian, a rancher, and an outdoorsman. I believe in limited government, smart spending, and preserving the natural beauty and rural values that define not just Wagoner County, but our entire state.
