Mary Fallin’s adult daughter will move her trailer off of the governor’s mansion ground, Fallin’s spokesman said Tuesday, in response to public concerns over her living on taxpayer-funded land. Gov. Fallin revealed on Sunday that her daughter, [Christina](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/05/04/meet-christina-fallin-not-what-the-public-would-expect-of-a-politicians-daughter/ "undefined"), has been staying in a trailer home linked to the mansion’s utilities since April, and is pleased to have her nearby as she seeks a permanent place to live, [The](http://newsok.com/fallins-daughter-to-move-trailer-off-mansion-grounds/article/5436651?newsletter=breaking-email "undefined")[ _Oklahoman_](http://newsok.com/fallins-daughter-to-move-trailer-off-mansion-grounds/article/5436651?newsletter=breaking-email "undefined") reported. One resident [summarized](http://kfor.com/2015/07/27/governors-daughter-is-living-in-trailer-connected-to-the-mansion-does-it-violate-city-code/ "undefined") the public’s concerns: “That is state property! Who is paying her bills? Oklahoma taxpayers?” The governor addressed the furor on Tuesday, stating that her daughter’s trailer was not abusing state resources. “She would be using that electricity if she lived in the house, or if she got a drink of water out of the faucet, or if she flushed the toilet in the house,” Gov. Fallin told [KFOR](http://kfor.com/2015/07/27/governors-daughter-is-living-in-trailer-connected-to-the-mansion-does-it-violate-city-code/ "undefined"), an Oklahoma City television station. Alex Weintz, Gov. Fallin’s spokesperson, added that neither Christina nor her mother had violated a state law. However, due to “an administrative rule” stating that trailers are not allowed on state property, Weintz explained, Gov. Fallin’s office has advised the trailer’s removal. “We’re just like any family, any American family, any Oklahoma family,” Gov. Fallin said. “If I’m 80, if she comes to me and says, ‘Hey mom, I need a temporary place to stay, I’m going to let her stay with me.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3976144/oklahoma-governor-fallin-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3976144/oklahoma-governor-fallin-trailer/"},"headline":"Oklahoma Governor's Daughter Will Move Trailer Home Off Mansion Grounds","datePublished":"2015-07-28T23:36:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T09:40:53.909Z","description":"She had been living on the grounds of the governor's mansion since April","url":"https://time.com/3976144/oklahoma-governor-fallin-trailer/","keywords":["Oklahoma","States"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1126446291b26cd9/69885ceb3c16390842459089/christina-fallin.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jack Linshi","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/jack-linshi/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1126446291b26cd9/69885ceb3c16390842459089/christina-fallin.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Christina Fallin","caption":"Christina Fallin","creditText":"Sue Ogrocki—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3976144/oklahoma-governor-fallin-trailer/","name":"Oklahoma Governor's Daughter Will Move Trailer Home Off Mansion Grounds"}}]}] ```
