Praying for the survival of the two National Guardsmen shot outside the White House today. It breaks my heart thinking about the empty seats at their family tables tomorrow.

Political violence is never the answer and should be roundly condemned whenever it rears its vile head.

Stephanie Bice and her millionaire friends in Congress have suddenly discovered life is getting tough for us working folks.

When you’re paying your bills this month and pinching pennies, know that I understand the struggle. I will fight for you.

Sounds like you need a bigger sign. 😉

348 days until we #FlipTheFifth!

I want everyone to have the same opportunities Karl and I did and I’m deeply concerned that the decisions being made in DC are killing the American Dream. Let’s save it - together!

While it’s often one of those “brushed under the rug” secrets that doesn’t get much attention, women going through menopause (ages 45 to 54) are more than twice as likely to take their own lives. This is an issue that demands action and in Congress, it’s something I’ll champion.

#VeteransDay is a time to remember that military service protects our freedoms & binds us together. We owe gratitude to the 46,000 veterans in CD-5. Their service deserves support, quality healthcare & real opportunity. Let’s thank them with action, not just words.

Tonight is my 5th town hall in less than 4 months. It has been 1522 days since Stephanie Bice has had an in person town hall. Just sayin…

The cat is officially out of the bag! The big secret I teased last week was my interview with @ivehaditpodcast! We talked about the biggest issues facing CD-5 & how we can move forward after the failed leadership of Stephanie Bice. youtu.be/B-uSFs_UlgI?si… #IHIP #IHIPnews

We let the people who fought for our country fall through the cracks… funding cuts just shuttered a Black veteran support nonprofit in CD-5. This is a moral failure by leaders who can find money for everything but the men and women who served. This is unacceptable.

While everything from groceries to insurance to healthcare is getting more expensive, my millionaire opponent is spending her vacation touring mansions & smiling for photo ops with her donors. In Congress, I’ll make sure healthcare is accessible to everyone at a reasonable cost.

The team and I spent this gorgeous Friday in beautiful Shawnee. I was interviewed by Dave Beerly at KSLE Radio about town halls and my plans to fix education and healthcare. That will air Monday. Then, we toured local businesses downtown.

Love seeing all the Democratic wins last night! People are fired up and ready for leaders who show up. You better believe it’s going to happen again in 2026! 💪

Fact: Since July 31, Stephanie Bice has worked 11 days.

Happy Halloween, y’all! Hope this spooky, fun-filled evening is spent with friends and family. Enjoy the fall festivities and the sweet treats! Thanks to Senator Mark Mann for hosting!

JENA NELSON ISSUES STATEMENT REGARDING
OFFENSIVE HAMAS BICE REMARKS

In CD-5, 40,000 households rely on SNAP benefits. Almost half of those households include a child and a third include a senior. More than 50 percent include someone with a disability. Starting Nov. 1, these Oklahomans will no longer have access to programs that keep them fed.

There’s a joke to be made about putting Stephanie Bice’s tenure in DC in the rearview, but I don’t think anyone's in a laughing mood. Programs that keep people alive & feed hungry kids are on the verge of stopping. It’s time for Stephanie to end her vacation & get back to work.

They want us to throw up our hands & say I quit! Their strategy is called flood the zone. When everything feels like it’s happening all at once and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it, that’s when we must stand strong. We must fight. We must win. And we must do it together.

Thank you to the 130+ folks who joined last night’s town hall, my fourth in less than two months! Your energy and insights made it unforgettable. Together, we sparked a powerful conversation about the future of our democracy and the role each of us plays in shaping it.

There are a lot of hungry Oklahomans as a result of this Republican shutdown. In fact, The Oklahoman reported that we’re the 9th most impacted state. #TeamJena rolled up our sleeves & helped. We packed 589 boxes of food that will create 11,000+ meals to feed hungry children.

🚨BICE ALERT 🚨

Let’s try something different today. I want to hear from you! The news from Trump’s DC is a constant stream of hair-on-fire awfulness, but I want to know what’s most important to you & your family? If you could wave a magic wand & fix one problem in Washington, what would it be?

Instead of doing anything to help Oklahoma’s most vulnerable students, my bootlicking opponent is too busy lathering praise on the narcissist-in-chief. CD-5 deserves so much better. 2/2

“Decimating” special education sounds like something a comic book villain would do, but it’s another disgraceful moment in a long line of disgraceful moments from Trump and his cronies like Stephanie Bice. 1/2

So many of our elected leaders don’t value this tremendously important asset and the deep impact they make in Oklahoma and across the nation. I’ll show up for our Tribal Nations and work together toward justice and lasting relationships.

#IndigenousPeoplesDay honors the histories, resilience and living cultures of Tribal Nations. I’m so proud to live in a state with 39 federally recognized tribes and commit to listening to their stories and protecting sacred places. [1/2]

Looks like Stephanie Bice is getting another week of paid vacation while our federal workers and air traffic controllers go to work unpaid. Bottom line: It’s time for Republicans to stop the healthcare cuts and end their shutdown.
