| Collapse all
- Emily Gise stands out not just for her experience in state government and extensive nonprofit work but for her heart for Oklahoma. During her state service, she pioneered a program that helped move Oklahomans off of benefits and into the workforce leading to self-reliance and ending the cycle of poverty. She's gained invaluable insight into government operations and the challenges posed by government red tape on businesses and workers. It’s this unique mix of professional achievement and personal passion that makes Emily Gise a candidate who doesn't just aspire to lead but is truly prepared to serve.
- Emily Gise stands for a government that's open and honest with its people. She's pushing for clear, straightforward policies that make it easier for all of us to see where our hard-earned money is going and how decisions are being made. Emily believes that building trust between us and our leaders means making sure they're always answering to us, keeping our needs and concerns front and center. She's also standing up against taxes that take too much from everyday Oklahomans, fighting to keep more of what you earn in your pocket. As a down-to-earth conservative, Emily's all about cutting back government overreach and making sure our families and local businesses have the room to grow and succeed.
- Gise is committed to creating a community where families thrive, children grow, and everyone reaches their full potential. Beyond prioritizing border protection, affordable housing, enhanced education funding, and teacher support, she extends her commitment to tackling the opioid epidemic and providing robust support for women and children who are victims of domestic violence. By addressing these critical issues, Gise aims to ensure our community remains vibrant and supportive, making it a place where all can flourish. This holistic approach underlines her dedication to making thriving communities the heart of our district.
Additionally, Emily's commitment to public safety through her nonprofit work suggests she would be a vital asset to the Public Safety Committee, where she could contribute to comprehensive safety strategies. Furthermore, Emily's compassionate conservative principles and her approach to serving with a servant's heart justify her inclusion in the Health Services and Long-Term Care Committee. Here, she can advocate for policies ensuring quality care for the aging population and those requiring long-term medical care, addressing staffing challenges in the healthcare sector, and improving the overall healthcare system in Oklahoma.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
