If you haven’t signed up but you’d like to partner with other people in your legislative districts to create the kind of policy changes Oklahoma needs, please fill out THIS brief questionnaire.

Thanks to all of you who joined our TOK State of the State Virtual Watch Party on Slack yesterday. We’ll do more of those as the debate heats up.
Thanks again to all of you who attended the State Budget Summit. If you were there we hope you’ve sent us feedback via THIS survey. If you missed it, we’ll post video from the event soon.
