It’s an honor to serve House District 87 and I would be humbled to continue for another term. I’m looking forward to visiting with my constituents about the common sense legislation I’ve been working on at the State Capitol and how I can best serve them. #HD87

Two brothers from different OKC fire stations responded to the same emergency call, serving side by side for the community. The Bowerman brothers are proud 2nd generation firefighters, continuing the legacy of their father, Carl, who served OKCFD from 1991-2014. 🚒

Already delays in oklahoma. ( 259 minutes on hold) Wait times will increase.
Some states already lack staff to quickly process #Medicaid applications and answer calls. Researchers say they may not be prepared to handle new work rules, predicting people will lose coverage as a result. #disabilities disabilityscoop.com/2026/05/…

A key #autism panel that was dramatically reshaped by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is recommending that the federal government embrace the term "#ProfoundAutism," but the way they are going about it is raising red flags. #disabilities disabilityscoop.com/2026/05/…

Making it difficult for parents to get what their child with a disability needs. Amongst everything else that parent has to do for a child who needs support they have to fight to get their child’s civil rights and education.

Already hard to talk to someone on the phone if you work full time. This makes it almost impossible. Call me if you want to modernize Social Security. I can point you to the gaps and barriers to help our citizens who receive this benefit.
The #SocialSecurity Administration is warning that some local offices are closed, running on reduced hours or handling visitors by phone only — and urging people to check before they make the trip. #disabilities disabilityscoop.com/2026/04/…

Stopped by the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum again as the Devon Tower still had the Survivor Tree logo showing. Tried to get a 180 panorama showing the gates of time at either end.
Also, a west looking shot from 9:01 gate to 9:03 and its reflection.

WATCH: Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation Chuck Hoskin Jr. commented on Gov. Kevin Stitt’s feud w/ Forestry Services today: “When it comes to forest fires, you don’t have an issue that should unite more Oklahomans than fighting fires…We’ve got to keep the Oklahoma Forestry Department alive and well. We need it and you need it.” #okleg

Protect #MedicaidExpansion in Oklahoma!
Medicaid expansion = a stronger OK economy. Chief @ChuckHoskin_Jr notes it supports 1,400 jobs & a $222M annual impact. It’s a lifeline for rural hospitals and families. We must protect this progress! Read more: kfor.com/news/oklahoma-legis…
