We shouldn't be tearing public education apart; we should be making it better. That means accountability for how IDEA and Title funds are spent, real investment in special education and underserved students, and stopping the flow of public money to private schools with no strings attached.

Housing shouldn’t be an unattainable goal. HUD should be focused on supporting local communities and building affordable housing. We need 14,000 affordable housing units just in Tulsa, and millions more around the country, which should include more affordable rental units and homes for people to purchase. Home prices should come down for families and individuals in order to build generational wealth. Investing in affordable housing will also support good construction jobs.

As a Christian, my faith is central to who I am, and that's exactly why I believe in the separation of church and state. My family came to America in the 1850s for religious freedom. The government should protect that freedom, not undermine it by favoring one religion over another or pushing beliefs on students in public schools.

I believe in protecting the wildlife and environment of our state, keeping our air and water clean, opposing the encroachment of smelters, data centers, and other companies that use our resources and pollute our state. I will advocate for the humane treatment of animals, whether in research, on farms, or wildlife.

If Congress does not address the issues of Social Security, it will be insolvent by 2032. We can no longer kick the can down the road. If there is a 24% cut to the program, there will be major impacts here in Oklahoma. The average retired household will see a cut of $486 a month, which can be spent on groceries, gas, and house or car payments. We must seek a solution that is bipartisan, efficient, and permanent so our children will receive the same or better benefits as we do or our parents.

Oklahoma has always been a leader in energy production, currently 3rd in wind production, and 6th in oil and gas production. We need to invest in every type of energy to have a diversified, sustainable, and strong energy economy where we aren’t dependent on foreign energy, with a shifted focus onto environmentally friendly energy, to be better stewards of the land.

To fix the teacher shortage, I support a federal program that helps people earn education degrees, commit to teaching in public schools for five years, and graduate debt-free. We need our Department of Education focused on improving outcomes for K–12 public schools, early childhood, and workforce pipelines, in order to improve the lives of Oklahoma students both in school and entering the workplace.

Our justice system must be blind. Government power should not be used to go after political enemies; it should pursue those who have actually broken the law. And no, we should not be handing out pardons (or creating a $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund) for people who attacked police officers on January 6th.

On data centers: Federal Legislation should ensure that the cost of powering massive data center operations doesn't get passed on to everyday consumers and local communities. We need to put in place an energy policy that works for people, not just corporations.

Every Oklahoman should be able to see a doctor when they need to. I support expanding access through Medicaid expansion, ACA subsidies, or a broader universal coverage model. The details can be worked out through bipartisan cooperation. What is not negotiable is the outcome: no one should have to skip medical care because they can't afford it.

Algorithms designed to be divisive and addictive are a public health issue. The government needs to stand up to media monopolies and fight for Americans' access to honest, open information.

The recent federal cuts to Medicaid threaten Oklahoma with a $6 billion shortfall that we simply don't have. I will fight to repeal those cuts and restore funding while we build a better, more sustainable system.

America, first and foremost, needs to be worrying about our own internal affairs, not starting nor continuing forever wars around the world. We are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on other global militaries, with 46% of Tulsans working full time, without enough money to pay their bills, with similar numbers on the state and federal levels.

I believe in a secure border and that people who are actively breaking the law should be held accountable in order to keep our communities safe. I also believe in treating people with dignity. Long-term residents who pay taxes, contribute to their communities, and have built their lives here should have a real, accessible path to citizenship, not a process that takes decades, tens of thousands of dollars, or is completely unattainable.

Washington does not know what's best for CD1. Federal dollars should flow directly to local communities here in Oklahoma who know their own needs and can put those resources to work effectively. One-size-fits-all federal mandates rarely fit anyone well.

That said, accountability matters. Communities should demonstrate results and spend funds where they're intended, without excessive red tape slowing things down. Federal investment with local control and real accountability is how we get things done.

As a fifth-generation small business owner, I know that small businesses are the backbone of our communities and our economy. Right now, large corporations get the tax breaks and government support while small businesses are left to figure it out on their own. That needs to flip.
