Once again I am officially endorsing Kevin West (@KevinWestOKRep) for Oklahoma Labor Commissioner.
Kevin West is a proven conservative leader, successful small-business owner, and a champion for Oklahoma workers.
As a state legislator, Kevin has fought for common-sense conservative policies that lowered taxes, expanded free-market opportunities, and helped hardworking Oklahomans pursue the American Dream.
His vision for the Labor Commissioner’s office is focused on protecting workers, empowering small businesses, and preparing Oklahoma for the future. Kevin wants to rebuild Oklahoma’s skilled workforce by expanding CareerTech partnerships, encouraging apprenticeships, and streamlining licensing requirements so qualified workers can get on the job faster.
He understands that Oklahoma businesses are the backbone of our economy and believes they should come first—not out-of-state corporations or foreign competitors. Kevin will work to cut red tape, ensure fair bidding on public contracts, and help Oklahoma-based companies grow and create jobs.
Kevin supports a “teach before you fine” approach to workplace safety, helping employers succeed through training and partnership rather than unnecessary punishment.
He is also a strong supporter of veterans and second chances, working to create more pathways into the skilled trades for veterans and individuals seeking a fresh start.
Kevin recognizes the growing importance of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, manufacturing, aerospace, and advanced technology. He has a forward-looking vision that will help position Oklahoma as a leader in innovation, skilled labor, and economic opportunity.
Kevin West is exactly the kind of conservative, pro-worker, pro-business leader Oklahoma needs as Labor Commissioner.
For these reasons, Kevin West has my complete and total endorsement for Oklahoma Labor Commissioner.
