President Donald Trump says, "We need School Choice passed in every State!" Good news, Mr. President, Oklahoma has already done it (vouchers in 2010, tax credits in 2011 and 2023). And we will continue to protect and expand school choice!

Gov. Kevin Stitt’s budget shows that officials have sufficient funding to balance the budget without major cuts to any part of state government, aside from the elimination of one-time funding that was supposed to expire anyway.

The secretive process of replacing a state Supreme Court justice is now underway. Oklahomans should watch that process closely—at least what little they can.
