I swore an oath to support and defend the United States Constitution, and that oath has no expiration. As a candidate for OK CD4 and a graduate from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, I am committed to upholding our nation's founding principles: individual liberty and justice for all. Ensuring individual rights, safeguarding liberties, and adhering to the rule of law are the minimum requirements for holding public office. Respect for this sacred document is not just a political stance, it is a responsibility we owe to every generation.

The biggest threat to our democracy is our skyrocketing national debt. When Cole took office in 2003, we owed $6.75 trillion; by 2016, we owed $16 trillion; now it’s rapidly approaching $40 trillion. This debt spending now overshadows what we spend on Medicare and defense, ranking second only to Social Security.
As our debt grows and interest rates rise, we have less money for essential services like infrastructure, education, and healthcare.
We need to stop raising the debt limit, cut spending, and eliminate the federal debt.

If we want a better future, it starts with our kids. I have a public education. I know education is the greatest equalizer. Every child deserves a quality education, and I promise to fight every single day for Oklahoma's kids. Nearly a quarter of kids live in poverty. Education funding is among the lowest in the country. Two-thirds of our fourth graders are not proficient in reading. That is not just a number—that is our future at risk. We must make sure every student graduates with the skills they need to succeed. Our public schools should be funded and provide free meals. Our kids are the future. They have to be our top priority—end of story.

Immigration benefits our country, but the system needs to operate more efficiently. We should process work visas, asylum claims, and refugee requests fairly and swiftly, allowing people to contribute to our economy.
Instead of addressing the real issues, we've allocated $100 billion to immigration enforcement, building inhumane camps, and using masked agents on the streets.
We need solutions, not fear; capacity, not more law enforcement; and tolerance, not hatred. I am dedicated to fixing the immigration system and treating all individuals with dignity.

Americans deserve high-quality, affordable healthcare without the fear of insurance denials for necessary care. This change relieves the financial burden of hospital bills and insurance issues. When individuals are healthy, they can work and support their families. Ultimately, healthcare is a human right, and no one, including insurance companies, should take that away.

As a public defender, I am passionate about criminal justice reform. I believe the first pillar of criminal justice is rehabilitation, followed by punishment. This is why I am opposed to private, for-profit prisons. When we punish, we continue the cycle; when we rehabilitate, we eliminate recidivism.
Because I support reducing recidivism, I support a living wage, investment in public education, and a criminal justice system that prioritizes rehabilitation.

Collaboration and the ability to work with others are essential to effective governance and a thriving democracy. However, I will not compromise on ethics and constitutional values. These should be the foundational pillars of our government.

I believe in a government that respects individuals' rights to make personal medical choices in consultation with their physicians. Politicians should not impose their personal beliefs on these deeply personal discussions and decisions. A woman's rights should remain consistent regardless of state lines. Being pro-choice encompasses more than just a single policy debate; it involves advocating for healthcare access, resources, and protections that enable women to make safe and healthy choices that are right for them.

We must invest in rural areas through small business programs aimed at agricultural development, eliminating food deserts, industrial development outside major metropolitan areas, and more. We must encourage the productive use of this land and invest in our rural communities. We must make Oklahoma a more attractive place to live and reduce the impact of supply-chain issues on our critical resources, such as food, electricity, water, and heat.

Every country has the absolute right to defend itself and its people.
No country has the right to wage genocide. Israel’s indiscriminate bombing and killing of civilians are clearly war crimes, and I believe the United States must cease all economic, political, and military support for Israel until they cease their campaign of violence and aggression.

I plan to create a bill called the HOPE Act to uphold the right to bear arms while promoting responsible ownership and accountability. As for gun control, I will not take your guns away. Instead of imposing blanket federal rules, the HOPE Act focuses on those who illegally provide firearms to minors or negligently store them. We need to correct dangerous behavior, not loosen laws or increase gun carrying.
I took an oath to defend the Constitution and the Second Amendment, and I will honor that commitment. It’s time to prioritize the safety of America’s children.

The current approach of deploying masked, underqualified agents only spreads fear, targeting families, children, and communities, and it's time to require body cameras and transparency.
Trump claims that mass deportations improve our quality of life, but separating families and instilling terror does the opposite. Children fear for their parents' safety and hesitate to attend school. This isn’t what America should stand for; it’s a harmful agenda that ostracizes anyone who doesn't fit a narrow vision of our nation. We must halt funding for this broken system and push for genuine accountability and oversight of ICE. Tom Cole has shown he's unwilling to do either, instead opting to support a cowardly agenda that limits America's true spirit.

Official FEC filing record for the current cycle. The priorities they publish are quoted from their own site, in their order.
Statements are quoted from these pages exactly. Headings, order and wording are the campaign’s; the record marking is ours.
A donor who gave several times appears once. The 12 largest donors by total given are listed. In all, 293 itemized contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $61.5K.
Each loan as the campaign’s report through Oct 14, 2026 lists it, with what is still owed. A loan from an earlier cycle can appear here, and one repaid in full drops off the report, so the list need not add up to the row.
Total reported receipts $121,500
Every dollar the committee reported receiving this cycle, split by the source the FEC filing attributes it to. Open a source marked + to see who gave. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 6 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 56 contributions · 32% of ranked | $19,724 |

Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($33,606) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
The campaign also refunded $50 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.
Total itemized disbursements $99,280

All 307 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
53 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $13,318 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
| Name | Amount |
|---|---|
| 21 payments · 37% of all spending | $37,545 |
| 127 payments · 16% of all spending | $16,712 |
| 6 payments · 11% of all spending | $11,235 |

| 1 payment · 2% of all spending | $2,016 |
The people, firms and committees paid the most, across every kind of payment. Each share is of everything the committee reported spending this cycle, not only the itemized payments above. A payee that is itself a committee links to its own profile.
