Practical solutions that can help people stay in their homes! We need to make changes at the state level to help these local initiatives have a bigger impact— adding a few more days between eviction filing and hearing makes the most sense, like my SB128.

🏠 Housing First → reduces homelessness, saves money, restores dignity.

⛓ Forced confinement → worsens mental health, increases suicide risk, drives people away from help.

This isn’t a tough call.

This unlawful & cruel order completely ignores why these institutions serve primarily minority students— they were historically NOT ALLOWED to attend other schools. These funds help educate our next generation, which is best for them and for the economy!

Oklahoma Voice @oklahomavoice.com · 29d

The U.S. Department of Education announced it will withhold $350 million of congressionally approved funds to minority-serving colleges and universities and divert the funds elsewhere, saying that the institutions’ admissions quotas are discriminatory.

None of us want to see our neighbors camping under bridges or in crisis. I’m committed to working across the aisle on the solutions that put people over politics to reduce homelessness and increase public safety. Glad The Oklahoman carried my OpEd about the work we need to do to house our neighbors.
