I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the Garden of Gethsemane. Even as the Son of God, Jesus understood the weight of human sorrow. In that sacred moment, He felt deep anguish and prayed that the cup might pass from Him. Yet He chose to surrender to the Father’s will—for one purpose: our freedom.
Easter reminds us that freedom is never accidental. It is secured through courage, conviction, and sacrifice.
With student proficiency at a horrific 14.7%, down 21% since 2018, it is clear that a radically different approach is needed to turn TPS around. A massive 73% increase in non-instructional costs and 21% drop in student proficiency at TPS since 2018 can lead to only one conclusion. Vote NO on this bond package. Demand accountability and a new bold vision.
First, stop the bleeding and save the patient. Then follow the best student-focused science available to rehab TPS into a world-class educational system. It will be a long difficult process, but our children believe their future is worth the effort. Do we?
OKLAHOMA CITY — Five and a half years after Oklahoma voters narrowly approved State Question 802, the so-called “free” federal Medicaid expansion has proven exactly what limited-government conservatives warned it would be: a constitutional trap, an open-ended raid on the state’s General Revenue Fund, and a textbook lesson in why big-government promises sold at the ballot box almost always end up costing Oklahoma families dearly.
OKLAHOMA CITY – On March 24th, 2026, Attorney General Drummond entered a settlement with the DOJ. Through this settlement, Oklahoma will provide the state’s statewide voter registration list to the DOG, while the DOJ agreed to comply with the Privacy Act. The DOJ will review these records to assess Oklahoma’s compliance with election laws as noted in an Oklahoma Republican Party (OKGOP) release.
The OKGOP declared, “We stand for election integrity both in Oklahoma and across the United States. We must protect every American citizen’s voice and ensure our election systems serve only those entitled to them.”
Politics has been part of my life for a long time now. I’ve worked on campaigns, balanced budgets, and watched Washington debate programs line by line, year after year. Experience has taught me that policy decisions rarely stay in Washington. They show up in people’s homes, in their routines, and in the way that families manage everyday life. That’s especially true when it comes to health care.
