Submitted Biography "I am a native Oklahoman who served as both a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a Police Officer with the Tulsa Police Department. I hold both a B.A. and a J.D. from the University of Tulsa. I currently practice law in Tulsa where I reside with my wife Wanda."


Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.


I'm running for office to make the lives of Oklahomans better. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to hold a job that pays a living wage, that we should be able to send our children to a good public school and to an affordable college, and we should be able to go to a doctor when we're sick and not worry we won't be able to pay the bill. I'll fight for a safe community and our fundamental rights.


Our country is deeply divided by political partisanship because politicians demonize groups for political gain. In the meantime, our most pressing problems are going unaddressed - let alone solved. I'm running for office as a candidate who will place country over politics and work to solve problems - not create them. At a time when democracy is being challenged around the world and at home, when our institutions are under attack by far-right extremists, when economic opportunity is receding for most Americans - we need leadership willing to face these problems, willing to compromise when necessary, and willing to work in the interests of the American people rather than a political party.


I'm running to win this election and ensure a Democratic majority for the 119th Congress. A Democratic Congress will be able to pass legislation that continues to invest in clean energy, protects our environment, invests in building affordable housing, rebuilds our public schools and expands access to affordable health care. I'll support our fundamental right to health care and our constitutional right to privacy by working to codify the provisions of Roe v. Wade into federal law and pass the Equality Act. I'll work to strengthen Social Security and Medicare rather than cutting it. That means fighting Republican efforts to raise the Social Security retirement age and cut Medicare benefits.

Party: Independent

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography "I’m a 4th-generation, home-grown Okie born and raised in North and East Tulsa – the grandson of miners, construction laborers, and migrant farm workers. My mixed ethnic background (Mexican, Native & European) reflects the grand historical diversity of Oklahoma. As a husband, father, and grandfather, I recognize the centrality of family in all that we look to achieve as a society. I’m a long-time Independent who has always been an active member of my local community. Wherever I’ve lived, I’ve conspired with others of diverse political affiliations to creatively upset the local Establishment, regardless of party. Most importantly, in all things I strive to be a faithful disciple of Jesus by advancing the lot of “the poor” – i.e. regular folks struggling to navigate a hostile economy and culture. I often refer to myself as a “progressive populist” – an independent whose primary focus is on the interests of hard-working Oklahomans, living paycheck-to-paycheck. I’m also a lawyer and teacher who has benefitted from excellent public and private education. Throughout my diverse 40-year legal career I’ve been recognized as a creative and respectful “bridge-builder”. I intend to use those same skills in Congress to find, or broker, common ground across the political spectrum. "


Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.


We must regenerate a diverse and autonomous U.S. economy by reclaiming our industrial base from the ravages of globalism, while reversing globalism’s windfalls -- i.e. the growing disparities of wealth and income between global economic Elites and the rest of us.


We must promote working class solidarity by de-emphasizing divisive issues of identity; looking instead for neutral policy solutions that can unite and inspire working Americans of all races, creeds and orientations.


We must focus our military on defense of the homeland, including re-securing our Southern Border, while adopting a non-interventionist foreign policy that emphasizes humanitarian aid and utilizes American power to end, rather than perpetuate, international conflicts.

I'll work to pass the Protect the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act) - the most comprehensive pro-union bill in a generation that protects the rights of workers to bargain for fair wages. I'll work to pass the Raise the Minimum Wage bill and will support efforts to bring critical industries back to America and create thousands of highly skilled, high paying jobs. I'll support the continued investment in our infrastructure to include the building of high-speed rail between Tulsa and Oklahoma City. I'll fight to ensure every working family is earning a living wage but for those struggling for upward mobility, I'll work to pass the Child Care for Working Families Act and pass a universal National School Lunch Program.

I look up to Will Rogers, who was a cowboy, actor, humorist, Democrat and Oklahoman. I'd like to follow the example he set for representing the view of the average American and his love of America. He personified the American Dream of upward mobility and progress.
Insight into my political philosophy can be gained by reading President Franklin Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech. He gave the speech during his State of the Union Address on January 6, 1941 when Europe was falling to Nazi Germany and Britain needed America's support. Today, democracy is under assault around the world and at home, our institutions are under attack by far-right extremists, and economic opportunity is receding for most Americans. We need leadership willing to face these problems, willing to compromise when necessary, and willing to work in the interests of the American people rather than a political party. In 1941, the American people stood as one and with great sacrifice defended democracy. We won't let that sacrifice be in vain.
The core responsibilities for this office are contained in the "Oath" of office and it can be simply stated as this: Uphold the Constitution and protect the American people.
I would like my legacy to be that I helped America's public schools achieve world-class status, helped make college affordable for everyone, and brought first-class health care to every American.
I'm encouraging everyone to read "Our Malady - Lessons in Liberty from a Hospital Bed" by Timothy Snyder. This is Snyder's personal story of illness and how dealing with our system of commercial medicine almost killed him. I like it because it illuminates our broken health care system from a personal level. Health care is a fundamental right and I'm running for office to do everything in my power to fix it.
Our country is deeply divided by political partisanship because politicians demonize groups for political gain and the media demonize them for ratings. In the meantime, our most pressing problems are going unaddressed - let alone solved. At the same time, democracy is being challenged around the world and at home, our institutions are under attack by far-right extremists, and economic opportunity is receding for most Americans. American's greatest challenge will be to elect political leaders willing to face these problems, willing to compromise when necessary, and willing to work in the interests of the American people rather than a political party. My pledge is to be one of those leaders.

General election race ratings

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[4]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[5][6][7]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Oklahoma in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 19, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Eighteen candidates ran for Oklahoma’s five U.S. House districts, including six Democrats and 12 Republicans. That’s 3.6 candidates per district, less than in the previous three election cycles. There were 5.6 candidates per district in 2022, 5.4 candidates per district in 2020, and 7.2 in 2018.

The total number of candidates that ran for the U.S. House in Oklahoma in 2024 is also fewer than any other year this decade.

No seats were open in 2024, meaning all incumbents ran for re-election. One House seat was open in 2022, 2018, and 2014, respectively. No seats were open in 2020 and 2016.

Seven candidates—two Democrats and five Republicans—ran for the 4th Congressional District, the most candidates that ran for a seat in Oklahoma in 2024.

Five primaries—two Democratic and three Republican—were contested in 2024. Four primaries were contested in 2022, and six were contested in 2020.

Three incumbents—all Republicans—were in contested primaries in 2024. Three incumbents were in contested primaries in 2022, 2020, 2018, and 2014, respectively. Five incumbents were in contested primaries in 2016.

The 3rd Congressional District was guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run. Republicans filed to run in every congressional district, meaning none were guaranteed to Democrats.

Partisan Voter Index

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index
