Oklahoma State Senator Paul Rosino spent 25 years in the U.S. Navy, retiring as a Master Chief Petty Officer, before becoming a small business owner, a youth coach, and in 2017, the senator for Oklahoma's District 45. As chair of Health and Human Services, he has built his work around three groups he says have the least voice at the Capitol: children, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and the elderly.
In this conversation with Dr. Greg Steely, Senator Rosino draws a hard line between managing people and actually leading them. He shares what a Navy wing commander taught him about investing in the people you lead, the counsel he gives every young person he meets — ”say what you mean, mean what you say, and walk the walk” — and how he adapted his leadership across the Navy, real estate, and a 48-member Senate without trading away honesty, respect, or integrity. Asked whether the next generation is ready to lead, his answer is direct: they are ready, and they're hungry for it.
The through line is what it costs to lead when nobody is watching. Rosino spent nearly six years driving Oklahoma's IDD services wait list from 13 years down to two, built a clothing closet so students from a low-income district could page at the Capitol, and still says he isn't a legacy builder. He just does right by people and lets the legacy follow.
