Just focus on being inclusive rather than being divisive. Being a vocal minority in OK is not the path to change. Keep your Dem and TST views private. Unite with others based on common goals, keep politics out of it. Reach out to to leaders who serve all, not only one particular sect. Hedge any networking connections with people from both sides of whatever aisle divides the population. Most importantly though, find common ground with those who have served various Tribal Gov't for generations. If you need more breadcrumbs to point you to people like this, let me know.

Best of luck, I had the connections but not the patience. I gave up on OK long ago, but wish you luck, and wish you an abundance of discernment that will allow you to know when your efforts will be fruitless and when to move on to more worthwhile causes.
