I’m honored to have President Trump’s support as I run to represent Oklahoma in the United States Senate. He has delivered strong leadership for our country, and I’m proud to stand with him to secure our borders, strengthen our economy, support our men and women in uniform, and restore the American Dream for hardworking families. I've fought to advance the President’s America First Agenda in the House, and I’m eager to continue to be an ally for him in the Senate.

Another great offsite w an even better crew. Hard to believe my 22nd year as a proud member of this amazing enterprise/family begins just a tad over three months from now. It’s even harder to grasp how many brothers, sisters and “kids” I now have compared to the beginning of this journey. Time flies!
