Why are you running?
Oklahoma’s daycare industry is facing financial collapse as compliance with equal access provisions will disappear and we need a representative that takes action and not Texas two-step by political pandering that leaves Oklahoma families with a bag of uncertainty and stress.
What issue is your main focus and how will you address it if elected?
The Oklahoma legislature continues to siphon public education dollars at record highs to private schools. We need a representative that fulfills the Oklahoma Public Education Promise found in our state constitution and uses hard earned taxes for public education, never private.
In one sentence, why should voters choose you?
The citizens of District 29 have been overlooked by their current representative by taking a backseat to political party.
