I left the Department of Justice to run for Attorney General because corruption is running rampant through our elected offices. Throughout my career as a federal prosecutor, I spent my time taking down cartel leaders, violent prison gangs, and mafia bosses.

My first op-ed! I believe improving reading scores requires us to also address the root challengesāfunding, teacher certification, retention, and support, and the mental health and economic barriers our students face. We canāt solve one without the other.

Maybe I was onto something?! While the AG and Ethics Commission didnāt find that Walters broke the law, itās clear heās used his position for personal gain. He was never in it for the kids.
@epogeokc requested an AG opinion and filed a formal complaint with the Ethics Commission about Walters' use of his official state letterhead to promote an alternative to "woke teachers' unions," potentially violating more ethics rules. #oklaed

This story really made my day! Iām just wondering how long RW thought he could coast on his totally real, definitely not made-up āqualification test for woke teachersā ⦠which also happened to be completely unnecessary. š
BREAKING: It is impossible to fail the teacher qualification test developed PragerU for State Superintendent of Instruction Ryan Walters, Quorum Call has found.

Take time to listen to this story. It highlights Oklahomans directly impacted by deportation and raises deep concernsāones I shareāthat these actions are going beyond what was originally outlined. Itās deeply troubling.
On the latest episode of "This Week in Oklahoma Politics," @KOSUMichaelC talks with KOSU state government reporter @LionelRamos_ about his recent story regarding Cesar Reyes, a former advisor to Gov. Kevin Stitt who was deported earlier this year. https://t.co/MlEf9ZvzL3

Happy to work towards this goal, but the reality is that Walters' approach is an unfunded mandate.ā

The CEP allows schools to use federal funds to offer no-cost meals to students. The deadline to apply for CEP was June 30āmeaning this new potential mandate arrived too late, and our state wonāt have the chance to prioritize this in the budget until next year.

Celebrated the 4th by serving as a parade judge! There was something oddly therapeutic about showing up in the rain especially after yesterdayās vote, which still weighs heavy on my heart. But even when itās hard, we keep showing up.

And just like that, it passed. š¤¬š« Poverty is not a personal failure ā itās a policy choice. This bill guts the safety net and abandons people who are already struggling to survive. We should be fighting poverty, not putting people in poverty.
