Trish Ranson completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Ranson's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|- Public education is the backbone of our society and democracy. We need to ensure that our educators are well paid and their classrooms sufficiently funded. When our educators and public schools suffer, our children suffer. I have strived for proper funding, and I will continue to fight for the future generation of students and teachers in House District 34 and all of Oklahoma!
- In 2023, we saw over 800,000 Oklahomans receive state health benefits. However, over 1 in 7 residents of this great state still do not have health coverage. Oklahomans passed Medicaid expansion in 2020, but after the pandemic, many are beginning to lose their benefits. Since the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, many women have lost their access to safe reproductive healthcare. Through compassionate leadership, I have fought and will continue to fight for equal, fair, and expanded health benefits so Oklahoma can be a leader in healthcare.
- Serving in the Oklahoma House of Representatives has shown me parts of our state and its social programs that warm my heart. Unfortunately, the state's lack of support for some of my fellow Oklahomans concerns me. Oklahoma should be a place of equal opportunity for every person no matter zip code, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. Nothing should stand in the way of an individual and their pursuit of the American dream.

Scorecards
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.
