Fight Government Corruption
Oklahomans are working harder than ever, but our wages aren’t rising and our tax dollars are being spent on everything except our needs. Too often, government corruption and backroom deals drive up costs and put working families in the backseat. Every cent lost to mismanagement is a dollar that could go toward lowering middle class taxes, improving health care, investing in our public schools, and fixing roads.
Tegan believes it's time to cut out the political insiders and put the people of Oklahoma first again because every benefits when our government works honestly and efficiently.
Mid-Del families deserve the peace of mind that comes from knowing they can make ends meet without living one paycheck away from hunger or homelessness. In the State Legislature, Tegan will fight to raise the minimum wage, cut red tape to build more attainable housing, and hold corporations accountable for price gouging on essentials like groceries and utilities.
​
As a small business operator, Tegan understands the challenges of today’s economy. She’ll work to protect and empower local businesses by reducing unnecessary regulations, lowering costs, and creating an environment where entrepreneurship can thrive.
Lower Costs and Higher Paychecks
Improve Access to Affordable Health Care
Oklahoma ranks 49th out of 50 in the nation in quality of health care. Too many are struggling to afford care they need and rising prescription costs for medications they require. Tegan will be committed to lowering the cost of healthcare and expanding access to quality care in every community - from family doctors to mental health professionals.
Preventive screenings shouldn’t be out of reach. It’s time to hold insurance companies accountable, protect SoonerCare, support rural hospitals to stay open, and invest in mental health and addiction treatment.
As a former public school educator, Tegan deeply understands the importance for our community and economy to support public education. Investing in our teachers and students, is an investment in the future of Oklahoma itself. Every Oklahoma student deserves the same opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed, no matter where they live.
That means fully funding our public schools, addressing corruption and waste, ensuring school safety, raising teacher pay, and updating classroom resources. Upon graduation, Tegan will prioritize that students have affordable access to job training, trade schools, and public universities.
Support Public Schools
Protect Reproductive Health and Freedom
Oklahoma currently has one of the strictest abortion bans in entire country, leaving no exceptions for rape or incest and ambiguity on when the life of the mother is at risk. In 2024, the Oklahoma Legislature - including my opponent - attempted to criminalize the possession of FDA approved abortion pills.
The extreme attacks on women’s healthcare and reproductive freedom won’t end there. Tegan will stand up to keep the government out of the most sacred and personal choices that Oklahoma women make with their doctors, families, and faith.
Oklahoma County has crime rates higher than the national average, yet state leaders have repeatedly cut and underfunded the very public safety and mental health programs that keep our communities secure. Tegan will be a strong advocate for public safety at the State Capitol, ensuring law enforcement, first responders, and mental health professionals have the resources they need so every Oklahoman can count on getting help when they call 9-1-1.
​
As a responsible gun owner, Tegan believes in protecting both the Second Amendment and the safety of our communities. She supports common-sense measures, like red-flag laws, that respect the rights of law-abiding citizens while keeping guns out of the hands of those who pose a danger to themselves or others. Every Oklahoman deserves to live free from the fear of gun violence in our schools, churches, parks, grocery stores, and neighborhoods.

Support Our Veterans & Their Families
Sacrifice for service comes in many forms — from leaving the only hometown a person has ever known, to missing the birth of a child, to a spouse or partner struggling to find work at a new duty station, and, for some, making the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation. Every day, our military families give of themselves to protect the freedoms and ideals that define America.
We must honor those sacrifices by upholding the promises made in return for their service. That means ensuring access to quality healthcare, mental health and wellness programs, career and job assistance, and affordable higher education for veterans and their families. Anything less would dishonor the commitment and courage of those who have already given so much for us all.
