Take the time now to clean out your storm shelter or pick a safe room... Read more

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged our communities in ways we have never seen before and our small businesses have been among the hardest hit. Between closing non-essential businesses and reducing services to help slow the spread, small businesses have been forced to make tough decisions. Congress acted to help suffering small business ...

This weekend, Oklahomans will join together to remember the victims of the Oklahoma City bombing and the loved ones left behind on that horrible day 25 years ago. As we mourn the worst act of homegrown terrorism in our country’s history, we also reflect on a term that Oklahomans have always lived by, but what the rest of America discovered after April 19, 1995: the Oklahoma Standard. The Oklahoma Standard has long echoed the goodwill and compassion of Oklahomans. In times of difficulty, Oklahoma... Read more

Easter is usually a time for us to gather together to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over sin and death.

This Easter, our country is facing an unprecedented public health crisis. Our world looks very different now than it did just a couple months ago. While we may not be able to celebrate with our usual ways, we still can be showing friends, neig... Read more

Our small businesses, our farmers and ranchers, our teachers, our Tribal governments, our health care workers and first responders on the front lin... Read more

The number of COVID-19 cases in our country is growing by the day and without taking any steps to address it, the number of people who become infected will exponentially grow. It’s going to take all of us working together to slow the spread or “flatten the curve” of the number of people getting the virus. The decisions we make each day impact our communities. Even if you are a young or healthy person, you can spread the disease and increase risk for others, including older people and those with ... Read more

As many of you know, a few weeks ago my son Jim suffered a wrestling injury and has been undergoing treatment and rehabilitation at the Centre for Neuro Skills in Bakersfield, California. He is making progress and has a great attitude, but there is a long road to his full recovery. The outpouring of support and prayers from Oklahomans has been truly amazing. I am grateful each and every day to represent people who are not only understanding of the situation but have also offered up so many praye... Read more
