Issue Position

Agriculture/Natural Resources

Rural Oklahomans are self-reliant. We aren't comfortable relying on our urban counterparts to support us. A self-sustaining community is the best community, and I want to work to make sure that economic growth is just as healthy in rural Oklahoma as it is in our cities. A handful of farmers feed the whole world. The policies of Oklahoma have to keep a prosperous light shining on our crop and livestock producers. Agriculture and energy are two of Oklahoma's largest industries. I want to see communities in District 65 benefit from that just as much as Oklahoma City and Tulsa do. All of the so-called "government reform" at the Capitol, needs to ensure that the interests of agriculture and natural resources are protected. For instance Oklahoma needs to continue to put legislation in place that guarantees the state's water resources are conserved.
