Corporation Commissioner

Political Party: Republican Hometown: Broken Arrow Current Town: Broken Arrow Education: Business Management, Certified Welding Inspector, Specialist in Safety and Health(Construction and General Industry) Age: 40

Candidate Background:

20 years immersed in the complexities and challenges of the energy sector, brings unique qualifications and a fresh perspective to the race. Setting myself apart from my opponents, I am a worker from one of the largest industries regulated by the OCC, offering practical, first-hand knowledge rather than a traditional political background.

1. Have you ever failed to pay any taxes or court ordered judgements? No 2. Have you ever been convicted of a felony? No

What are the top three messages of your campaign?

1. Transparency – Lifting the veil of secrecy that many report dealing with when asking for information from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.

2. Communication – Opening up the process for the people of Oklahoma to be more involved in the Corporation Commission.

3. Industry Experience – Knowledge of industry specific situations provides greater insight into regulations than political backgrounds.

What are the top three most pressing issues facing rural Oklahoma? How would you address these issues if elected?

Inflation, Engagement, and Response. Inflation often discourages economic growth, so looking at ways to encourage economic advancement. Engagement from the OCC and rural Oklahoma needs to be increased along with each department under the Commission. Finally Response, which I have ran on providing quick access to address concerns and working to increase efficiencies when dealing with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.

Explain your positions on economic development as it pertains to rural Oklahoma in general and Eastern Oklahoma in particular.

I support robust infrastructure investment and policies that aid small businesses, agriculture, and workforce development to boost economic growth in rural Oklahoma. In Eastern Oklahoma, I advocate for promoting tourism, responsible natural resource management, and industry diversification to create stable job opportunities. Building strong partnerships with local governments, tribal nations, and private sector stakeholders is key to effective economic development.
