Off to the Race!

Being Stillwater’s Representative is the highest honor, and I can’t wait to continue the work.

We’ve accomplished so much in my four terms as Representative, but there’s still more work to do. Over the course of my eight years in office I have continued to champion an Oklahoma that works for everyone. A healthier Oklahoma. A more educated Oklahoma.

This legislative session, we’ve made real progress focused on supporting families, improving how state government works and standing up for the people in our community. I authored four bills that passed the House of Representatives and are now heading to the senate. Those bills include:

• House Bill 1979, which creates an Early Childhood Task Force to better coordinate services for our youngest Oklahomans, making it easier for families to access the support they need.

• House Bill 3378, which strengthens how research funding at higher education institutions is managed by ensuring continuity within the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology. This keeps resources effective and reliable.

• House Bill 3380, which brings Oklahoma’s foster care system in line with national standards, improving care for children who need it most.

• House Bill 3383, which ensures state employees are not required to work more than 14 hours a day, reinforcing my commitment to fair, healthy working conditions.

I’m proud of the work we’ve been doing and am grateful for the trust House District 34 continues to place in me. As these bills move to the senate, I remain focused on seeing them across the finish line so we can deliver results that make a real difference in people’s lives. 

I’m committed to keep building on this progress and continue supporting our community. I’m eager to continue this important work.
