District Attorney Greg Mashburn announced his plans to retire effective March 1 in a Facebook post Thursday.
Mashburn has served as district attorney for Cleveland, Garvin and McClain Counties since 2006. His current term was set to end in 2027. Mashburn called his time as district attorney the honor of a lifetime.
“When I first took office, I pledged to uphold justice, protect the vulnerable, and serve the public with integrity. These principles have guided me daily, and together, we have achieved significant milestones in pursuit of safer, more crime-free communities,” Mashburn wrote.
Mashburn wrote he is grateful for his time as district attorney and thanked his colleagues and the residents of the counties he served.
“Your partnership and commitment have inspired me to do my best in every case, every decision, and every effort to advance justice,” Mashburn wrote.
Mashburn wrote he is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for his successor and looks forward to spending time with family and pursuing new interests.
“My commitment to justice and public service does not end with my retirement,” Mashburn wrote. “It simply takes a new form.”
Mushburn also serves on the Oklahoma District Attroney’s Council, where he served as president. In 2015, former Gov. Mary Fallin appointed Mashburn to the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control Commission.
In 2008 and 2024, Mashburn was named Outstanding District Attorney for Oklahoma.
