I was the reporter let go in Oklahoma. It was only surprising because the Thunder are in the playoffs and the Women's CWS is coming up. I have great memories of my time here and of my colleagues. Thank you all for following me. As for media, if you're looking for help, hit me up.

It's been a tough while at AP and today was particularly rough.

Today, 40 Associated Press guild-covered employees across the U.S. who accepted buyouts left the newsroom for the final time. We’ve been told layoffs will be coming, with no clear timeline.
In solidarity, our members in office, at home, and in the field wore their union red today.

Since nobody else is doing clips for OKC, I will advocate for us.
We talk about how SGA does a bump push off and it gets spammed everywhere for days meanwhile other players “get away with it”

Lisa and I decided to not run for governor because we were ready for a new chapter outside politics. While the announced developments in our congressional delegation opened up that conversation again the past few days, it has not changed how we feel about pursuing something new outside of politics.
I will not be a candidate for any elected public office this year.
Serving the state as lieutenant governor has been an incredible honor, and we're excited about a new season in our family's life when my term is finished.
