Former state representative in SW OK and 2014 Democratic nominee for governor of Oklahoma. Child advocate and still hopeful for our state's future.
I went to the @thetraecrowder.bsky.social show last night at Bricktown Comedy Club - OKC and I can easily say it was filled with many much-needed laughs. Thanks for driving up from Texas, Steve Hines!

Several students and their teacher led a sit-in at Katz Department Store in OKC in August, 1958. We heard stories from three of those students today at the Rotary Club of OKC. Thank you to John Kennedy for moderating the conversation and also his work to see a memorial built to commemorate this

What do you do the day after the Rush Springs Watermelon Festival? Why, you make watermelon salsa and watermelon chili, of course! I was out of citrus spices, so I'm trying Old Bay and a little chili powder instead. Let me know if you make it and how you like it!

It was a great day spent with my mom. We went to lunch and then I took her shopping so she could use up some gift cards that she had. We forgot to take a picture together, so here is one from a few years ago.

Thank you to Sen. Dave Rader for authoring SB 364, which will prevent the use of corporal punishment by school employees on students who are in a special needs classification. As you can see from the vote, it passed 31-16. The bill now goes to the OK House where State Rep Anthony Moore will carry it

Sinus infection + partial snow day + finding out that two OICA bills will not be heard = binging the final episodes of Cobra Kai. It was a great ending for each character, as well as a fine grand finale for the series. That was just what the doctor ordered to improve my mood. Cobra Kai never dies!

The 1st Session of the 60th OK Legislature begins tomorrow. I have been reading bills & preparing for the meetings regarding the more than 500 bills that OICA is tracking. I think that this might get me through some of these that have been filed. It is going to be a long four months...
