Pam Pollard is an Oklahoma politician and former chair of the Republican Party of Oklahoma. She has previously served as the Vice Chair of the Republican Party of Oklahoma, and the President of the Oklahoma Federation of Republican Women. She is the owner and President of Pollard Accounting and Tax Service.
As state Chairwoman, Pollard was a delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention, but she was not bound to a predetermined candidate. She was among the handful of unbound delegates nationwide who publicly announced support for Donald Trump before the July 18 Convention, enabling Trump to clinch the nomination on May 26, 2016. She told the Associated Press, "I think he has touched a part of our electorate that doesn't like where our country is... I have no problem supporting Mr. Trump." British political reporter Jack Blanchard described Pollard as "divisive".
Pollard was an enthusiastic supporter of Sarah Palin in 2008.
