Commissioner Jason Lowe is the current Oklahoma County Commissioner for District 1, a dedicated attorney and longtime advocate for justice, equity, and community service. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Virginia State University and a Juris Doctor from Oklahoma City University School of Law. In 2009, he founded The Lowe Law Firm, building a legal career rooted in fairness and a commitment to ensuring justice is accessible to all.

Prior to his role on the County Commission, Lowe served as the State Representative for House District 97, where he demonstrated an unwavering commitment to public service. He is a former chair of the Oklahoma Legislative Black Caucus and made history as the first African American attorney from District 97 appointed to the House Judiciary Committee. During his tenure, he was a trailblazer in advancing civil rights, justice reform, and equitable public policy.

​

His legislative work included promoting responsible policing, advocating for rehabilitation over incarceration for non-violent drug offenses, and pushing for increased educational funding for public schools and historically Black colleges and universities, including Langston University.

​

Commissioner Lowe’s dedication to mental health and community empowerment is reflected in initiatives such as his “Know Your Rights” forums, which educate Oklahomans on legal issues while elevating community concerns. His annual Family Fun Day events further demonstrate his commitment to service, having provided more than 10,000 families with free school supplies, health screenings, haircuts, and other essential resources.
