Brent Wilcox started out as a Democratic volunteer and never planned a life in politics; yet, he served as the political director for the Oklahoma Democratic Party from 1996 to 1999.

He has managed successful campaigns at all levels except a presidential race, including city council, mayoral, county commissioner, sheriff, state representative, state senate, statewide and congressional campaigns.

Wilcox is currently president of Oklahoma Political Strategies and editor of the Minco Millennium newspaper.
