I’m honored to lead the largest university system in a state where our leaders know that investments in higher ed help drive the economy, build a STEM-enabled workforce, protect our nation and deliver better health outcomes for all Oklahomans. 1/2
Earlier this year two Senate pages challenged me to visit their school for a basketball game.
So today, @sec_walters and I played a little two-on-two against James Reed and Fa’khri Carter at Star Spencer!
They pulled off the upset win, but we had a great time!
In my State of the State Address, I challenged my colleagues in the Legislature to be bold this session.
Oklahomans elected us as leaders, and we can't be satisfied with the status quo.
I can't wait to see everything we accomplish. Oklahoma can be, and will be, a Top Ten state!
With the support of @Sen_GregTreat, @charles_mccall3, and @sec_walters we delivered the most transformative education reform in state history last session.
But, Oklahoma's education turnaround is not over.
I can't wait to share our plans during the State of the State address!
There is nothing more precious or more fragile than our individual freedom.
Celebrate with your loved ones and welcome 2022 with open arms.
Happy New Year, Oklahoma!
This past year has reminded us how blessed we are to call Oklahoma home.
We believe the Lord has a plan of hope and peace for every Oklahoman. All we have to do is trust him and live according to His statutes.
From our family to yours, Merry Christmas, Oklahoma!

It’s World Fair Day at Carl Albert High School!
I loved getting to see Oklahoma’s students learning about different countries & cultures. #oklaed#oklaedtop10
I'm excited to accept the #GiveAHam challenge from @Okpork and its Board President Joe Popplewell!
I'm donating a ham this year to Sylvia, a foster kinship mom in OKC.
I now challenge OK Sec. @blaynearthur, Speaker @charles_mccall3, and Pro Tem @Sen_GregTreat! #OKPork
As we gather across our state with family and friends to eat turkey, watch football, and enjoy the holidays, I will be doing three things.
My Thanksgiving message to Oklahoma:
As the results from Virginia last night clearly show, parents want and deserve a say in their child’s education. @GovStitt and I will continue to champion the rights of parents in Oklahoma. #oklaed#oklaedtop10
TOP TEN ALERT! 🚨 🚨 🚨
Oklahoma's unemployment rate dropped to 3% in September, which is even lower than before the pandemic and 7th lowest in the nation!
The decisions we made over the past 19 months have kept Oklahoma's economy strong.

As a history teacher, I know you can teach our country’s complex history without labeling children as victims and oppressors.
Thank you @GovStitt and @Okla_OAG for putting students first.
You have my full support in fighting this frivolous lawsuit.

In Oklahoma, every day is #NationalFarmersDay!
I will always support our great farmers and ranchers.
It helps when you have a rock star like @blaynearthur as your Secretary of Agriculture!
We are excited to welcome our three OKFB summer interns. Ariel Scholten, Karlee Belle Gholson and Peyton Burns will work alongside OKFB staff to learn about the organization’s grassroots efforts and gain valuable experiential knowledge. Learn more at https://t.co/honmUXorEp.
Thanks to @OklahomaAg Secretary Blayne Arthur for speaking to our @okstateferguson Collegiate #FarmBureau chapter this evening! She shared about ODAFF’s work for farmers and ranchers across the state.
