1. What inspired you to run for public office, and what positive changes do you hope to bring to your district/state if elected? | My decision to run for office stems from a profound belief in the importance of bringing God's word back into the House of Representatives. In these pivotal times, as we face numerous challenges and uncertainties, I firmly believe that grounding our decisions in the principles of faith and righteousness is imperative for the well-being of our state and its citizens. My firm Christian values have guided every aspect of my life, from my personal relationships to my professional endeavors. I am committed to upholding these values as I represent you in the State House, ensuring that integrity, compassion, and righteousness remain at the forefront of our legislative efforts. As representative, I will work tirelessly to address the pressing issues facing Oklahoma, from economic revitalization and job creation to healthcare reform and education improvement. I will advocate for policies that honor our Christian heritage, promote family values, and uphold the sanctity of life at every stage. |
2. Please identify the top three critical issues facing your state, and how do you envision solving them to benefit the communities in your state? | 1) Economic Development and Diversification: Oklahoma's economy is heavily reliant on the energy sector, particularly oil and natural gas. However, fluctuations in energy prices can lead to economic instability. Additionally, there is a need to diversify the economy to create more sustainable growth and job opportunities in other sectors such as technology, agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism. I envision solving these issues by: 2) Education Funding and Quality: Oklahoma faces challenges in adequately funding its public education system while ensuring high-quality outcomes for students. Teacher pay, classroom resources, and school infrastructure are areas of concern, and there is a need to address disparities in education quality between urban and rural areas. I envision solving this issue by: -Prioritizing education funding in the state budget and advocating for policies that allocate resources effectively to support teachers, improve school facilities, and enhance educational programs. -Encouraging partnerships between schools, businesses, and community organizations to create innovative learning opportunities, career pathways, and workforce training programs that prepare students for success in the modern economy. 3)Healthcare Access and Affordability: Oklahoma faces challenges in providing affordable and accessible healthcare services, particularly in rural areas where there are shortages of healthcare providers and facilities. Issues such as Medicaid expansion, mental health services, and healthcare affordability are of significant concern. I envision solving this issue by: - Exploring market-based solutions to increase competition and reduce healthcare costs, such as promoting price transparency, expanding access to telemedicine, and encouraging consumer-driven healthcare models. |
