Issues
Ensuring the Safety of Our Communities and Our Children
Our children deserve to grow in communities that are not just safe but nurturing. I will advocate for:
- Implementing community policing strategies to build trust and improve safety.
- Introducing programs aimed at protecting children and ensuring safe environments.
- Working with local organizations to create initiatives that address the root causes of crime and violence.
Strengthening our Education System
Education is the cornerstone of a prosperous future for our state. Together, we can foster an environment where every child and educator in Oklahoma has the resources and support they need to succeed by:
- Significantly increasing investment in local public education to improve school resources and teacher salaries.
- Introducing programs to prepare students for future careers through critical thinking and vocational training.
- Focusing on STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics)
- Supporting policies that reduce classroom overcrowding and ensure a safe learning environment.
Advancing Criminal Justice Reform
In striving for a more just and equitable society, addressing the complexities of our criminal justice system is paramount. I am committed to pursuing reforms that ensure fairness, rehabilitate, support, and ultimately strengthen the fabric of our communities through:
- Addressing the Root Causes of Crime such as poverty and lack of access to mental health services.
- Advocating for fair sentencing and a focus on rehabilitation.
- Improving Recidivism Rates by increasing access to programs that reduce recidivism and support reintegration.
Increasing Transparency and Accountability to Our Government
In a world where trust is our most valued currency, ensuring that our government operates with the highest standards of transparency and accountability is not just important—it's essential. We can achieve this together by:
- Advocate for stronger enforcement of existing transparency laws to prevent corruption.
- Implement regular audits and public reports to ensure accountability.
- Encourage public participation and feedback in governance processes.
- Provide support for whistleblowers, safeguarding those who uphold transparency and integrity.
