Oklahomans Together: In Solidarity We Stand. In Power We Rise.

Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District deserves leadership that puts people first. Not billionaires, not extremists, and not culture war politics that keep us fighting and distracted.


I’m running for Congress with a people-first plan, built on four core values.


PEOPLE

In Congress, I’ll raise wages and protect unions. I’ll expand pathways to good jobs, training, apprenticeships, and local hiring so working Oklahomans can get ahead. I will ALWAYS prioritize working people over corporate donors, and be available to the people of the district; not lobbyists and special interest groups.


AFFORDABILITY

I’ll lower healthcare, housing, and childcare costs so families can actually get ahead. I’ll make the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share, so costs go down for everyone. I’ll fight to protect public education and fully fund our schools, because affordability includes whether families can count on strong neighborhood schools.


FREEDOM

Protect the freedom to live your life and be free to prosper. In Congress, I’ll protect abortion access, medical privacy, and equal rights, including for queer communities. That includes defending bodily autonomy, from reproductive rights to gender-affirming care.


ACCOUNTABILITY

In Congress, I’ll ban self-dealing and close loopholes that let insiders profit. I’ll hold hearings, demand audits, and force public reporting so deals aren’t cut in the dark. And I’ll push real consequences for abuse of power.. especially ICE. That also means standing up to authoritarianism and white Christian nationalist policy in government, and protecting our planet by ending corporate pollution giveaways.

I’ll fight to end U.S. funding for endless wars and to governments that commit human rights abuses.


Grassroots campaigns like ours win when we build them together. Your donation — big or small — keeps us going so we can reach more Oklahomans.
