Kevin’s faith is at the center of his push for strong values. As a Christian and a Constitutional Conservative Kevin understands that faith was a major influence of the Founding Fathers and will fight to ensure that Christian values are reflected every time he votes on a bill. Kevin’s faith is the reason he continues to fight to protect the lives of the unborn and a student’s right to pray in school.
As a father of 5 children, Kevin knows the importance of family. From ensuring that our state doesn’t burden our children with future debt to increasing the quality of our public education, Kevin works to ensure that Oklahoma family values will be promoted in the state capitol and in our federal government.
As a Marine, Kevin put his life on the line to protect our country’s freedom. Kevin continues his fight to ensure that the people of Oklahoma are free from an overreaching government. Kevin will continue to fight for ALL Oklahomans, not just a select few. Kevin will also work to eliminate wasteful spending and out-of-control government programs.[11] |

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
