Collapse all
|- I will ensure sustainable funding in order to provide an educational system that enables each child to achieve to their highest potential. Equal access to a quality higher education is essential to our state's future, and we must discontinue the practice of saddling college graduates with insurmountable student loan debt.
- Our states' economy can benefit from current federal infrastructure funding streams by creating good paying jobs related to roads and bridges construction, increased broadband access, improving waterways and systems, and providing funding equally throughout the state.,
- Health and mental health are basic human rights. Broken delivery systems must be reevaluated for cultural competency and new programmatic features such as community health workers and community-based systems of care that also evaluate conditions in communities that hinder care such as food deserts, a lack of sidewalks and other physical activity outlets..
I successfully defended a woman's right to control her reproductive health choices via a 2012 Jon Stuart Daily Show skit entitled "Bro. Choice," a satirical highlighting of the duplicity of Oklahoma's policies that focus solely on the female's body and not the male's.
DEPENDABLE - WILL SAY WHAT I MEAN AND DO WHAT I SAY
Repairing the broken and corrupt criminal legal system.

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.
