Education Funding
Accountability for abuse of taxpayer dollars used for education was a focus for 2021 and 2022. I am proud to say I have been a part of holding private companies responsible for education dollars they have hidden and misused. We must remain vigilant ensure it never happens again.
Adequate funding for supplies, textbooks, and technology is a critical need for all Oklahoma classrooms. Last session the State Legislature made an excellent start in turning education funding around in our state. We must protect this budget in the coming year, and ensure that we spend those funds in the most efficient and effective way, and special interest must be shown the door.
