COVID is also a criminal justice issue. We must take steps to reduce the prison population and reform harmful sentencing laws that have plagued our judicial system for years.

There is a similar food desert in the west Tulsa neighborhoods of District 66. When I am elected I vow to make bringing a grocery store to west Tulsa a top priority. tulsaworld.com/tncms/asset/ed…

It's Primary Election Day! I had Brandy snap this picture of me before I mailed off my ballot last week. When do you plan on voting today?

#SQ802 is the perfect example for why we must defend the people’s constitutional right to make public policy by initiative petition in Oklahoma.

I normally like to keep family Friday lighthearted, but after this week I felt the need to do something different. Today we honor the family and loved ones of Sgt Craig Johnson and others who have needlessly lost family in the war on drugs. May God give you strength to carry on

Last year we spent the fourth with Mr. Independence Day in Los Angeles. We had a great time. Hoping everyone is having a safe and happy Fourth of July this year
