Expand all | Collapse all

I am a fifth generation Oklahoman passionate about keeping our values intact and protecting Oklahoma families from government overreach, and continuing to build a state in which our children and grandchildren can flourish, proper and thrive.
  • We must protect Oklahoma homes, farms, ranches and businesses from out-of-state interests that jeopardize our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We cannot allow career politicians to continue to put Oklahoma families secondary to their own selfish interests.
  • Our children deserve a better education than they are currently receiving. The Oklahoma Dept. of Education has the biggest budget in all state spending, yet we rank 50 of 50 in education. We can do better. Supporting teachers, and students instead of making administrators wealthy is a priority.
  • Transparency and accountability in elected officials is key to trust. Elected officials must be accessible, and responsive to constituents. For too long, elected officials have been distant, invisible to the voters. As your State Representative, there will be regular community meetings, newsletters and emails asking for your input on key legislation and informing you of what's happening at the Capitol.
Property rights for homes, ranches and businesses; accountability in how our tax dollars are spent; regular/consistent/transparent communication by legislators to the voting public.
No, I believe we've seen on the national scene with President Trump that a new, fresh perspective on government, is often warranted. Our nation's founders never intended for career politicians to spend 50 years in office, becoming multi-millionaires. Elected office is an honorable service, not a "get rich" scheme.
