As a former teacher, I know schools arenโ€™t just buildingsโ€”theyโ€™re relationships.
When we support educators and students, we change lives.

Healthy moms. Healthy kids. Strong communities.
Thatโ€™s what healthcare policy should deliver in Oklahoma โ€” and thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m fighting for.

This pharmaceutical scheme is making me irate. The premiums are a GOP shell game. Follow the money.

Leaving education to the states is why the federal department was created. If we believe all kids have potential, then we need to enforce it.

Spent yesterday planning (not plottingโ€ฆ promise) session strategy with the Womenโ€™s Caucus co-chairs.

The setup at the National was chefโ€™s kiss for big ideas and bigger possibilities. Feeling fired up about what we can tackle together for our state. ๐Ÿ’ชโœจ

Thank you to all the #sd40 Precinct officers! We had a little gathering this morning to say thank you and to get energized for the campaign work ahead! ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽ…๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿฉ #TeamHicks

Thereโ€™s nothing โ€˜neutralโ€™ about tech that profits from keeping kids online longer.

Oklahoma families deserve transparency, age-appropriate protections, & policies that put childrenโ€™s wellbeing over ad algorithms.

Tech shouldnโ€™t shape our kidsโ€™ futures in the dark. #oklahoma

Our state cannot ignore tribal sovereignty. Ripping up hunting/fishing compacts and citing tribal hunters is wrong. Iโ€™ll fight for respect, treaty rights, and true collaboration. #TribalSovereignty

Incredible visit to the Oklahoma School for the Deaf.

The students, staff, & campus were so welcoming. After years on Appropriations, itโ€™s powerful to see the real stories behind our investments. Grateful for the chance to learn more & spend time with these amazing kids.

Open the government, protect health insurance subsidies, raise the minimum wage, & fine co.'s paying so little their full-time workers qualify for subsidies.

The pleas to stop hunger & protect childcare fell on deaf ears. Now that leisure, recreation, & the travel industry overall might be impacted? All hands on deck. Has capitalism made us great yet?

Amazon and Walmart are two of the biggest recipients of SNAP and Medicaid funds because they don't take care of their employees. Families working 40+ hours a week requiring gov subsistence. In Canada they go to food pantries to make ends meet.

Corporations are the real "welfare queens" of society

We ended up having a cordial conversation even though there are big differences in our political ideals. I expressed to her my gratitude for the time and hoped that we could talk again.

These days, it feels hard to engage in dialog-but we must.
