Oklahoma has great potential that is not being fulfilled. We have a government that too often focuses on the wrong issues and does not provide stewardship of taxpayer money that is necessary. Far too often, the debate centers on the hot issue of the day, and not enough attention is given to where we want to see Oklahoma during the next 50, 10 or even five years. Just as I did while serving on the Tulsa City Council, I want to reshape the debate in Oklahoma and make certain we are paying attention to the bigger picture and create a state that our people deserve.
