Evan Shepherd completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Shepherd's responses.
| Collapse all
- It is my belief that Affordability is one of the greatest issues facing Americans today. People struggle to maintain themselves on meager wages that don't cover the cost of living, and for many financial stability seems a lifetime away. It is my hope to increase wages and prevent private interests for the betterment of all Oklahomans.
- I believe in Worker's Rights, and the ability for people to advocate for themselves in the workplace without fearing repercussions from their employer. My goal is to turn Oklahoma from an At Will Employment state to one that requires Just Cause to fire a worker.
- I believe that Social Safety Nets such as SoonerCare are important for preserving the ability of people to act independently, and that access to necessary help is a right that should be enjoyed by all. I aim to increase public spending in these areas to expand coverage to all Oklahomans.
