Sample Ballot- Washington County, Oklahoma Good evening, As it seems several people are stopping by this website looking for election guides, I decided to post a sample ballot and links to a few voter guides. I am saddened by the condition of our precious Republic. Yesterday, the president reminded us repeatedly that we have aContinue reading “2022 General Election”

Week 10
This week was the final week of committee work. We finished hearing the Senate bills in the House committees and the Senate heard the House bills. The bills that have survived the process thus far are now eligible to heard on the floor. The final step will be to send the bills to the governor’sContinue reading “Week 10”
Week 7
We just finished one of the deadline weeks at the Oklahoma State Capitol. This deadline required passing all bills to be heard this session out of the chamber of origin. Each chamber sent more than 300 bills to the other chamber and now the process will begin again. With so many bills to consider, IContinue reading “Week 7”
Week 6
This week was the annual OYE (Oklahoma Youth Expo) at the State Fairgrounds in OKC. Students who participate in FFA and 4H across the state attend this weeklong event to exhibit their livestock.

Week 5
In the Oklahoma Legislature we are increasingly hearing bills promoting public-private business partnerships. Through legislation and executive negotiations, these partnerships are infiltrating many industries such as healthcare, mental health, tourism, agriculture, education, and energy. Ours is properly designed as a system of free and voluntary exchange. A free market is always the most efficient allocationContinue reading “Week 5”

This organization is known for supporting LIBERTY bills and focuses on parental authority in the lives of children. Several folks from the Bartlesville, Collinsville, and Owasso areas stopped by my office to visit. OKHPRContinue reading “Week 2”
Week 1
It’s been a busy week in the Oklahoma Legislature as we have returned to the Capitol to begin the 2022 Legislative Session. The House Majority Caucus began the week by electing a new Speaker Pro Tempore. Representative Kyle Hilbert was selected by our members to replace Rep O’Donnell who resigned his position in January. GovernorContinue reading “Week 1”
Special Session: Redistricting
I insist on placing truth and transparency in governance above the mere appearance of unity. If House Republicans go into a special session being told that the appearance of a unified front is of utmost importance, we have set the stage for a week of compromise at the expense of the people we are electedContinue reading “Special Session: Redistricting”
Truth Will Prevail
“The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments.”― Friedrich Nietzsche https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/2021/07/30/oklahoma-republicans-blast-gop-covid-vaccine-holocaust-comparison/5438423001/ From the article: “It is irresponsible and wrong to compare an effective vaccine — developed by President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed — to the horrors of the Holocaust,” the Republicans said. “People should have the liberty toContinue reading “Truth Will Prevail”
