The Oklahoma Standard we tout on the regular should apply to our federal delegation showing up for Oklahomans like Dr. Preston Phillips by doing their jobs and passing common sense legislation to prevent these tragedies from happening. Enough. #Tulsa

signed a law that bans abortions as early as six weeks into pregnancy and doesn’t allow exceptions for rape and incest. The governor claimed he represented 4 million Oklahomans who want to protect the unborn. He must have forgotten he also represents those who disagree (4/5)

in a destructive move against this generation. Oklahoma is leading the charge in a Handmaid’s Tale-style assault on women’s health care. The day after the leaked draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe made headlines, Gov. Kevin Stitt (3/5)

This year’s newly eligible 18-year-old voters were born more than three decades after the United States Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade. Now, while exercising their protected voting rights under our Constitution, another protected right may soon be stripped away (2/5)

in a tumultuous political climate has been the most stressful time of my life. While I'm committed to service, I'm taking some time to focus on my mental health and recharging so I can feel 100% again. (3/3). -AB

politically-charged threats, malicious emails, calls and messages I've received. Like all of us, I'm not perfect. We all make mistakes and I'm sure I'm not the only Oklahoman who's ever had one too many on a Friday night. Being in the public eye for an intense three years (2/3)

The things I'm accused of saying are not who I am, nor do they depict the entirety of the situation that occurred. They are not a reflection of my beliefs. This has been a painful attack on my character from the accusations themselves to the overwhelming amount of (1/3)

Paging - why haven’t you denounced the RNC? Was the attack on the Capitol legitimate political discourse? Back home in the 5th district, we’re waiting with bated breath for you to break your silence. #GOPCoup #January6th #Capitol

I tried to ask @GOPLeader about the RNC’s resolution describing Jan. 6 as “legitimate political discourse” He told me to make an appointment with his office… insisting it’s “not good” to answer questions in hallways.

It’s a good Tuesday when you sue the insurance company, go to trial and win it for an honest, salt of the earth Oklahoman. 💪🏻

My opponent voted NO on a bill this week to automatically enroll eligible veterans in the VA’s healthcare system. I think it’s time we ask her how nice it is to have the finest taxpayer-funded healthcare on earth.

Every time my opponent fires off a tweet blaming Democrats for omicron, I’m reminded of when she insulted local school district leaders with her federal mandate that all Oklahoma schools remain open with no teachers.

What do you picture when you imagine a filibuster? It's probably a 24-hour speech like in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Well, that couldn't be further from reality. Senators don't even have to be in the room to stop a vote. How is that serving Americans?

Today my opponent called on all schools to remain open despite record Covid cases and teacher shortages across the 5th district. I think the last thing our district leaders need right now is a federal mandate from Stephanie Bice on how to safely educate their students.

The House just passed the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act. Now the Senate needs to do the same. It's the best way to protect the right to vote, end partisan gerrymandering, and restore crucial parts of the Voting Rights Act.

Let me get this straight: 60-vote threshold was carved up 160 times so senators could pass Trump tax cuts, gas bill & Supreme Ct Justices but when it comes to voting rights, “traditions” & “comity” mean you hug it tight, throw the voters under the senate desks & go home? No way.

“As a lifelong Oklahoman, I'm disgusted. Here in Oklahoma City, we know firsthand how people frustrated with the government can cause catastrophic destruction and forever destroy families," Broyles said.

“Stephanie Bice should be ashamed of her comments today saying she 'empathizes with those frustrated' with the 2020 election... Here in Oklahoma City we know firsthand how people frustrated with the government can cause catastrophic destruction and forever destroy families.” -AB
