Oklahoma State House District 14

“I want Oklahoma to be a place where working families can build a good life.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection)

“I wouldn't say there's any one person whose example I want to follow in everything, but I respect John McCain for the way he handled political disagreement. During the 2008 presidential campaign, when a supporter made a disparaging claim about Barack Obama, McCain stopped her and defended his opponent as a decent person who he simply disagreed with. I didn't agree with McCain on everything, but I respected that.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection)

“Integrity. What that means to me is, an elected official should do what they believe is right for the people they represent, even when it is politically inconvenient. They should be honest about their decisions, keep their word, admit when they are wrong, and never use public office for personal gain. Voters may not always agree with every decision I make, but they should always be able to trust that I made it in good faith.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection)

“As a customer-facing insurance agent and a state representative, I hear the frustration across the desk and across the district. I see customers opening their renewal notices and wondering why their homeowner's insurance premiums have increased again. I also hear from constituents who simply want to know why it costs so much to protect the homes they’ve worked so hard to build. I want answers too.” (Oklahoma House of Representatives)

“Our plan for this study is to dig into the costs that may not be as obvious,” (Oklahoma House of Representatives)

“I'm a life long resident of Oklahoma. I was born and raised in Tahlequah. In 2012, I married my wife, Joie, and together we live in Fort Gibson with our Chihuahua, BB. I was blessed with a "ready-made" family, as Joie had three children from a previous marriage. Although all of our children are grown and out of our home, I couldn't love them more if they were my own. We have five grandsons that we enjoy spending time with as much as possible!” (Campaign website)
