Cal Hobson and his wife Elaine have deep roots in Oklahoma. Cal has committed himself to this state through public service. Elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives in 1978, Hobson served until 1990 and established a strong track record of accomplishments for the people of this state. He continued his commitment to excellence when he was elected to the Senate in 1990.

Cal has been a pacesetter during his years at the Capitol for education. He introduced the policy that established the OHLAP college scholarship for students whose parents earn less than $50,000, cosponsored one of the largest pay raises for Oklahoma educators, and helped establish innovative technology instruction for teachers.

Senator Hobson also knows the importance of quality healthcare. When Oklahoma’s only Level-1 trauma center was almost forced to shut down, Cal led the effort to keep it here and was successful. He has also led efforts to bring state-of-the-art cancer and diabetes centers to the state. Cal has worked tirelessly so that Oklahomans have the best medical facilities available.

Cal’s legacy is one of success. He listens to the concerns of Oklahomans and implements practical solutions. He knows the potential that we have as a state and his track record is clear. Cal...listens to you!
