Issue Position: Tribal Sovereignty and Compacts

Issue Position

Tribal sovereignty is vital to the proper functioning of our tribal nations. Oklahoma greatly depends on our tribal nations, and a good working and respectable partnership between the states and our tribal nations are of great value to the state.

I recognize and support the rights of our tribal nations. Compacts between the state and the tribes are a function of the executive branch of our state government. However, as a representative of District 4, home to the largest of the tribal nations not just here at home but in the entire U.S., I will work with our tribes and promote partnerships and good will with other elected officials, including members of the executive branch.
