Oklahomans have been doing everything right and still struggling to get ahead. And I understand that because I live in the real world too. I pay rent. I buy groceries. I know what it feels like to watch costs keep rising while families are expected to just absorb it.

The problem is we’ve had leaders focused on the wrong priorities for far too long. Too many tax giveaways given to those at the top.

I’m running for Governor to change that. I’ve spent my time in the Legislature actually working with people to get things done for Oklahoma families, including repealing the state grocery tax to lower costs for everyday people.

I spent 17 years in Oklahoma classrooms. I know what it looks like when politicians say they support kids but vote to defund their schools.

I've seen it. I'm done watching it. That's why I'm running.

Preliminary work has started for the new OKC multi-purpose stadium, to be located south of Bricktown as part of a large mixed-use project.

The official groundbreaking will take place on June 1st.

The $108 million project will include capacity for 10,000 and is designed to handle future expansion.

Projected completion is early 2028, at which time the OKC Energy soccer team (under a new name, likely OKC United per recent trademark filings) will resume operations.

The facility will also host concerts, football, and other events.

In fiction, nonfiction and everything in between, moms play an important role in so many of our favorite stories. Happy Mother's Day! ❤️

Healthy democracies don’t do stuff like this. There is no logical argument for policies like this beyond wanting fewer people to go to the polls.

This is a state that is also ramming through a redistricting plan amid an active election.

None of this is normal. It shouldn’t be.
