Positions

My Christian faith is the foundation of my life and will guide every decision I make as your State Senator. I believe strong communities are built on conservative values, faith, family, and personal responsibility, and I will always stand for religious freedom, parental rights, and a culture of life. I'll work to strengthen families, protect religious liberty, and ensure our children receive an education rooted in truth and excellence. Oklahoma thrives when we uphold traditional values that foster strong communities, and self-ownership. I will stand strong against the woke agendas pushed by liberal organizations but let me be clear. I will always show respect to those I disagree with. We’ve lost that as a society. We can stand firm in our beliefs without tearing each other down. In John 13:34, Jesus said: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." I believe we can hold the line without losing our humanity. That’s the kind of leadership Oklahoma needs. My faith teaches me to lead with integrity and serve others. As your State Senator, I will stand firm in my convictions and work tirelessly to protect the values that define our great state.

Oklahoma prides itself on being a pro-business state, but too often, government programs intended for small businesses end up benefiting large corporate conglomerates instead. Loopholes and overly complex application processes can make it nearly impossible for small business owners, many of whom are already working 60-80 hours a week, to access the resources meant for them. We need to ensure that incentives are clearly defined, accessible, and streamlined so they truly reach the entrepreneurs they are designed to help. That being said, big business also plays a vital role in our state’s economy. We need competitive incentives for both large and small businesses, but just like any responsible budget, we must ensure that funds are allocated appropriately and serve their intended purpose. Smart, strategic incentives will help foster long-term economic growth, ensuring that both small and large businesses can thrive in Oklahoma.

Childcare is one of the most regulated private businesses in the country, with 99.9% of them falling in the category of small business, making it difficult for providers to operate profitably. While regulations are necessary to protect children, excessive restrictions from DHS have led to underpaid workers, high costs for families, and limited availability. I have been warning numerous politicians about the mismanagement of DHS funds for year and was called a "bureaucrat" amongst other names. In Sept 2025 the State Auditor found that the childcare side of DHS mismanaged over $63 million dollars in funding. Money that was supposed to help childcare was used to buy Cadillacs and remodel houses. One employee of DHS embezzled over $2million dollars into her husbands curriculum business. Now that state must pay that money back out of state tax dollars. 

Rather than look into their own books DHS chose to do funding cuts that have only worsened the problem, leaving two-thirds of Oklahoma—including Owasso and Tulsa—in a childcare desert, where three children compete for every available spot and in many counties there are ten or more waiting for each spot. This shortage forces many parents out of the workforce, creating hiring challenges for businesses. While smart investments in childcare could boost Oklahoma’s economy by over $1.2 billion annually. Aside from their horrible bookkeeping, there are also numerous no-cost solutions within DHS that would allow providers to expand, improve wages, and serve more families—while saving the state money. Childcare isn’t just a family issue; it’s an economic one. By cutting red tape and implementing common-sense reforms, we can make childcare more accessible, increase our state's workforce, and help Oklahoma's economy thrive.

Parents should have the ultimate say in their children’s education, not bureaucrats or activists pushing political agendas. I will support policies that protect parental rights, and ensure transparency in schools, so that every child has access to a quality education. I will work to remove harmful curriculums that seek to divide rather than educate. Every child deserves a solid foundation in reading, writing, math, and history not political indoctrination. I fully support public education and believe it's one of the most critical investments we can make in Oklahoma’s future. OK just dropped from 49th to 50th in the nation and that should outrage every one of us. Our kids deserve better. Our teachers deserve better. We need to raise teacher pay, reduce classroom sizes, and ensure our schools have the resources they need to actually educate, not just survive. We need to pay more attention to our schools and less attention to what the State Superintendent is watching on TV. A strong public education system with more local control builds a strong workforce, stronger families, and a stronger economy. If we want Oklahoma to be a leader, we’ve got to stop settling for last place.

I believe in pro-business policies that create opportunities for Oklahomans to succeed. Lowering taxes and reducing unnecessary government spending will allow families and entrepreneurs to keep more of what they earn and reinvest in their businesses and communities. I will fight to remove bureaucratic red tape that stifles economic growth and job creation. A strong economy benefits everyone, and I will always support policies that attract new businesses, empower small business owners, and ensure Oklahoma remains a top destination for economic development. Check out my C.O.R.E Economics page for more info.

Phasing out Oklahoma’s state income tax will keep more money in the hands of hardworking families, attract businesses, and fuel economic growth. States like Florida have thrived without an income tax, proving that smart fiscal policy leads to prosperity. This transition won’t happen overnight, but with responsible budgeting and strategic economic policies, we can reduce reliance on income tax while maintaining essential services. Lowering and eventually eliminating the state income tax will empower individuals, grow local economies, and keep Oklahoma competitive. Now is the time for bold action to secure a stronger economic future.

As a Christian, I am a firm believer that every life is created by God. I will work to protect the unborn. Oklahoma should continue leading the nation in pro-life legislation, ensuring that the most vulnerable among us are defended. Additionally, I believe in the importance of traditional family values and policies that strengthen the foundation of our communities. I stand firmly against any organization that try's to invoke a false woke narratives into traditional families values. Strong families lead to strong communities, and I will support efforts that promote faith-based initiatives, parental involvement, and policies that make it easier for families to thrive.

I served as an EMT for several years and have been Endorsed by The Owasso Fire Union. I stand with our first responders, police officers, and military members. I believe that they deserve our full support. I will stand with law enforcement and ensure they have the resources and protection they need to keep our communities safe. I oppose any efforts to defund or weaken our police forces and will support policies that increase crime prevention, public safety, and emergency response. I stand for programs that help our law enforcement officers better handle or be removed from mental health crisis situation. To often our law enforcement officials are called in to deal with these situations that they are not properly equipped to handle. A strong defense—both at home and abroad—is critical to maintaining peace and security. We must prioritize law and order in our communities and never allow criminals to have the upper hand.

I am proud to have received an "A" Rating from OK2A. The right to bear arms is a fundamental freedom that protects all of our other rights. Law-abiding citizens should never have to worry about government overreach when it comes to defending themselves, their families, and their property. When it comes to firearms, many of our laws are restrictive to law-abiding citizens and have little effect on those who would use a firearm for criminal activity. I am a big advocate for education on responsible gun ownership and heavier penalties for those who use guns in an illegal manner. 

Our immigration system needs reform. The federal government has made naturalization a long and costly process while simultaneously handing out benefits to those who cross illegally. This strains public resources, threatens national security, and undercuts our laws and our community. Oklahoma must do its part to push back against illegal immigration while simulations working to reform immigration laws. That means working with law enforcement to remove criminals who enter illegally and working to reform our immigration system so that those who would want to enter our country legally may do so without the burden of excessive bureaucracy and astronomical cost. We are a nation of laws, and those laws must be enforced but must also be fair. By securing our border and restoring integrity to our immigration system, we can protect our communities and put an end to policies that reward lawlessness.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, and we must do everything we can to protect them. I will work to ensure that every vote is counted while preventing fraud and abuse in our election system. That means cleaning up outdated voter rolls and implementing stronger security measures to safeguard against tampering. Oklahomans must have full confidence in their elections, and I will fight to ensure trust in the process by making sure our voting laws are fair, strong, and enforceable.

Oklahoma is rich in natural resources, and we must ensure that our energy policies support growth rather than restrict it. I will not support harsh environmental policies that hurt jobs and make it harder for Oklahoma to develop its own energy industry. Our oil, gas, and coal industries provide thousands of jobs and contribute significantly to our economy. New forms of energy such as wind and solar are also important. We need an all-of-the-above energy approach that encourages innovation new technology for all types of energy while keeping prices low for consumers. Energy independence is vital for our nation and I will work to keep Oklahoma a leader in energy production.

Government should serve the people, not control them. I will always fight against government overreach and excessive regulations that infringe upon our freedoms. Whether it’s defending religious liberty, protecting free speech, or ensuring that businesses can operate without unnecessary interference, I believe in a limited government that allows individuals to make their own decisions. Personal responsibility and self-reliance are key to a thriving society, and I will always work to keep the government out of areas where it doesn’t belong.
