OP/ED (first published today, June 30 in Newsweek): Our nation’s farmers and ranchers are ready to put America First. Over 97 percent of our agricultural counties voted for President Donald Trump last November, and he will never forget their commitment to his agenda.

Now is the time to put that agenda into effect. The Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) unleashes economic growth and restores fiscal sanity.

With the largest tax cut for middle- and working-class Americans in history, an increased child tax credit, new Trump savings account for newborns, historic tax relief for seniors, and no tax on tips and overtime, every American family wins with the BBB.

As brands field daily cross-fire over politics and values, a recent study by LendingTree show 31% of Americans have boycotted a business—and 23% have spent more to support one under fire. 

Further, those with the most spending power are the most likely to use it as leverage: 43% of six-figure earners have boycotted and 37% have reverse-boycotted, the study showed.

Rep. Nick Archer, R-Elk City, and Speaker Pro Tempore Anthony Moore, R-Clinton, are praising the announcement that Dawn Aerospace will bring a new spaceplane, capable of flying loads to the edge of space, to western Oklahoma.

The Aurora Mark 2 suborbital spaceplane, which will fly from the Oklahoma Air & Space Port in Burns Flat, can carry payloads to the edge of space and return on a runway. Flights may begin operation in 2027.

Oklahomans have been hurt by many financial uncertainties throughout the last four years. Rampant inflation has drained families’ savings accounts and forced folks across the state to make tough decisions about how to pay for rent, afford groceries, or save for retirement. President Trump has taken steps to alleviate these pains, and Congressional Republicans are working hard to pass the president’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

Though this bill includes plenty of President Trump’s campaign promises, there is more that Republicans can do to put money back in the wallets of Oklahomans today to fix a broken tax code that favors certain savings accounts over others, and would end the era of surprise mutual fund tax bills.
