Simunek has represented District 7 on the OKFB board of directors since 2020, where he served as a voice for Farm Bureau members in seven counties in northern Oklahoma. “I am very excited to get started,” Simunek said. “I’m excited to continue to build up our grassroots and get out and meet people around the state, find their needs and start filling those needs.” A third-generation farmer, Simunek farms 2,300 acres of soybeans, wheat and milo in addition to running a cow/ calf operation in Kay County.

Simunek has long been involved in Farm Bureau, including serving on the Kay County Farm Bureau board, for more than two decades.
