Articles & Op-Eds
Congress has forgotten the meaning of reconciliation, instead sowing division that harms Oklahomans
Congress is trying to push the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” into law through a legislative shortcut known as reconciliation. At its root, reconciliation means restoring harmony, mending what’s broken, and finding common ground.
Lawmakers resistant to restoring low-income tax credits should spend a night in a homeless shelter
If there’s one thing I could tell federal lawmakers, it would be to bring back the expanded, monthly, fully refundable Child Tax Credit.
Those monthly payments of up to $300 per child cut child poverty nearly in half in just a few months. And when the credit expired in late 2021, child poverty immediately shot back up. So we know it works.
Hunger is not normal. Housing must be part of the solution in Oklahoma
If we would not accept 1 in 7 cars crashing on our roads, why do we accept 1 in 7 of our neighbors going hungry?
Hunger is not a natural disaster. It is a policy decision. In a state that prides itself on neighbors helping neighbors, leaving families to skip meals is a choice we do not have to make.
