|- Transparency is extremely important to me, and extremely important to the people of Oklahoma. I will be open with anyone that has a question and am happy to give anyone my email or cell number.
- I have knowledge of the Industry and have worked with many of the companies that deal with the Commission on a daily basis.
- I am a hard working Oklahoman, who understands putting in the hours to obtain results.
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) is a regulatory agency in the state of Oklahoma, United States. It has broad jurisdiction over several key industries within the state. The OCC oversees and regulates the following areas:
1. Energy Regulation: The OCC is responsible for regulating the oil, natural gas, and electric utilities within Oklahoma. It ensures that these industries operate in a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible manner. This includes overseeing drilling permits, production practices, pipeline safety, and utility rates.
2. Public Utilities: The OCC regulates the rates and services provided by public utilities, such as water, sewer, and telecommunications companies. It ensures that these utilities operate fairly, provide reliable services, and charge reasonable rates to consumers.
3. Transportation: The OCC has regulatory authority over intrastate motor carriers, including common carriers, contract carriers, and private carriers. It oversees licensing, safety regulations, and enforcement to ensure the transportation of goods and passengers within the state is conducted safely and efficiently.
4. Railroad Regulation: The OCC regulates and oversees the safety and operations of railroads operating within Oklahoma. It ensures compliance with federal and state regulations, investigates accidents and incidents, and monitors railroad operations to protect public safety.
Oklahoma believes in term limits to help ensure the people are being represented fairly. "Term limits are essential to a healthy democracy. They prevent any one person from becoming too powerful and help to ensure that new voices are heard."
