Women’s rights must be protected and restored. I believe Roe v. Wade should be codified into federal law to guarantee the right to privacy in healthcare decisions. Women must have the ability to make their own medical choices without interference from lawmakers. No one should face prosecution for seeking or receiving healthcare that may save their life or affect their ability to have children in the future. Extreme restrictions in many states have already put women’s lives and long-term health at risk. Equal rights must apply to all citizens.

A strong system of public education is essential to the future of our children and our communities. Public schools must be properly funded and protected, especially in small rural towns where schools often serve as the heart of the community. Without adequate support, both the schools and the towns they sustain are at risk.

Social Security and Medicare are earned benefits that working Americans have paid into their entire lives. These programs must be protected, strengthened, and expanded—not cut. My opponent supports reducing Social Security and Medicare. I will fight to improve and grow them.

A strong economy must be built from the working class up—not the other way around. History shows that when working families thrive, the economy thrives. As a union member, I know firsthand the importance of fair wages, secure jobs, and policies that strengthen the middle class.

I was recently asked what I thought a living wage really was. I was happy to respond to that question. As a Union man I understand the fight for a living wage and what a living wage actually is. By definition a living wage is “a wage that is high enough to maintain a normal standard of living.” I believe the group of people in attendance was shocked to hear the numbers I gave them. I quoted them the numbers for my home county of Washington county. These numbers are for one adult $15.49, add one child $32.96, add two children $41.95, add three children $54.68. The numbers for two adults (one working) is $25.60. one child $32.14, two children $37.08, three children $40.87. Two adults (both working) $12.80, one child $18.44, two children $23.27, three children $27.53. The numbers that are shown are numbers that most people in CD2 don’t make, especially when you go adding children. If not for Unions there would be far more people behind. The biggest issue we have is the level of corporate greed in this country. The cost of everything has continued to climb year after year. Corporations have continued to make record profits year after year, but yet they don’t pass those profits along to the people that made them for them. What they do is continue to raise the cost of their products and fight to keep their workers wages low. I feel we need to address the corporations and demand they stop the price gouging. We must continue to demand the minimum wage be raised. This wage has not been raised since 2009! That is fourteen years without an increase to minimum wage. Why has this been allowed to happen? Because we continue to elect people to office that doesn’t care about the working class people in CD2. If we are ever going to stop the destruction of the middle class, restore our livelihood, and raise our wages to a respectable wage. We must start electing leaders that will fight for the working class and their families. As a Union man, I’m one to lead this fight. I will work to move the minimum wage to $16.00 immediately and then add legislation to continue to increase it yearly. Join me in the fight to return respect and dignity back to the people of Oklahoma!

We must take a more serious look into this issue that effects so many Oklahomans in our state. Mental health issues come in many forms and effect a large part of our communities.
