I am Logan Phillips, and I am your current State Representative running for Re-Election on November 3rd. I am the republican candidate in the race. I have served you for the last two year, since 2019.

During my two years I have fought for money to our county roads and bridges, I have fought for infrastructure, and to protect your privacy rights. In 2019, I wrote and passed the states first rural broadband expansion bill, that will bring high speed internet to our rural communities. Just to tell you a bit of my background, I am a teacher of 16 years. I started in vocational education but am currently a professor in information technology. When I was teaching high school, I worked at the boy's home, helping young men get back on track, where I won teacher of the year twice. I served my country for six years as an infantryman, signal corps, and sapper in the US Army, and was activated with Operation Noble Eagle III.

Along with that my wife and myself run a small farm raising heritage turkeys and Herford cattle. Over the last two years I have labored to be accessible and transparent to our communities. Hopefully most of you have seen or heard me say, Big guy in grey shirt in a big grey jeep I am here for you and want to hear from you.

I believe to be a great representative I have to look and listen to all of the voices, and fight for your needs and desires not my own.
  • Infrastructure, to build a better future we have to build our foundation
  • Education, an educated populace builds. We must highly educate our people to invest into our future
  • Protections, we must protect our rights and our peoples pathway to a better life.
Broadband development, privacy rights, economic development utilizing public/private partnerships to rebuild economic centers by invigorating small business.
A sense of duty, willingness to embrace a servant leadership, and leading by example.
Kindness, Shrewd Judgement, Knowledge of upcoming issues and ideas to address them, a sense of duty,
Being mindful of and caring for the underprivileged in society.

Prioritizing the growth and well-being of individuals and their communities.

Displaying awareness, empathy and foresight.
I would like to leave the position helping the state refocus and build the skeletal system of our state and reinvigorate our small businesses and rural communities.
My first job was clearing abandoned railway stations when I was 14 years old. My first career was serving in the US Army at 17 years of age, where I served for 6 years.
The Sex Lives of Cannibals: Adrift in the Equatorial Pacific is a 2004 travelogue by author J. Maarten Troost describing the two years he and his girlfriend spent living on the Tarawa atoll in the Pacific island nation of Kiribati

The story is filled with mishaps and the experiences of culture shock, homesickness, and internal growth of the author. It is the book that caused me to leave my home and travel and live abroad.
You should always be yourself, but if you cannot be yourself then be Batman. Always be Batman.
I grew up in poverty, I use the Armed forces to escape that life and allow myself to get an education. I have seen my family members die from drug overdose, become entangled in the justice system and suffer through loss of most everything.

I understand the struggle of trying to become more than your surroundings and the pressure of failure being life and death.
The house of representatives acts as a direct connection and voice of the people, running for election every two years allows us to have a direct and immediate contact with the people.
No, we do not need a government ran by lifelong government employees. A stagnant system does nothing to help regular people, new ideas, new histories allows us to see things differently and come up with unique opportunities.
The infrastructure of the state is failing, aging and collapsing. Without investments into rural roads/water systems/ educational systems and building future infrastructure such as broadband we will see the cycle of decay continue happening in our rural communities.

We must invest in infrastructure
The legislature and the judiciary and the executive are three legs to a stole working in tandem to check and balance the other branches and keep the operation of the state steady.

The idea relationship is one of respect and acknowledgement of the others purpose and limitations.
Very few things in life are accomplished in a bubble. To move the needle you must work together, not only in the republican caucus but bipartisan and bicameral. Good ideas come from unlikely places and effective collaboration makes the state great.
Redistricting should be done by the legislature with input from the community.
I am the vice chairman of the natural resource and regulatory agencies. AS well as the co-chairman of the rural broadband expansion council.

I also am a member of transportation, and county and municipal government

Each of my committies allow for me to work directly on issues facing our people in the district, help steer agencies to better serve our people and bring resources back to our people.
I am not a member of the leadership, I am not interested in becoming a member of the leadership. My abilities are people focused not bureaucratic . I am there to help my people and represent the needs and desires of my district.
I have never celebrate worshiped legislatures. I believe the best politicians are those who are reluctantly there, and how no desire to be remembered. There is a great quote, "you would be amazed what you can accomplish, if you don't care who gets the credit". I model myself after every legislature that held this belief.
I have been called to serve as a state representative, if I am called elsewhere I will go but not until I feel I have helped the people I represent.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Oklahoma

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.
