Strongly Agree

I strongly agree. Taxpayer dollars should never be used to fund abortion providers. Organizations like Planned Parenthood perform services that many Americans morally oppose, and citizens should not be forced to subsidize. As Speaker, I passed legislation that made performing an abortion a felony, removing all abortion providers from receiving state funds by making their services illegal. I will continue to protect the unborn as governor.

Elective abortion should not be allowed. I believe life begins at conception, and that unborn children deserve protection under the law. We must also expand support for mothers, adoption services, and crisis pregnancy resources so that women are never left without options. As Speaker of the Oklahoma House, we banned abortions starting at conception with House Bill 4327 in 2022.

Strongly Agree

Human life is a gift from God and deserves protection from starting at conception. The most vulnerable among us, especially the unborn, deserve a voice, and it is the responsibility of the government to defend them. Science affirms that life begins at conception, and our laws should reflect that truth. At the same time, the government has a duty to uphold justice and protect public safety. The death penalty, when applied lawfully and with due process, remains a tool for the most serious crimes.

Strongly Agree

Embryos created through artificial means are still human life and deserve protection. Scientific advancement must never come at the cost of human dignity.

Strongly Agree

Federal law, including the Comstock Act, should be enforced. The illegal distribution of abortion-inducing drugs undermines state laws and puts women at risk. We must uphold the rule of law and protect both mothers and unborn children.

The minimum wage should be determined by the free market, not mandated by the federal government. Artificially raising wages can harm small businesses, reduce job opportunities, and increase inflation.

Strongly Agree

Free enterprise and private property are the backbone of prosperity. When individuals are free to innovate, invest, and build, the entire economy benefits. The government's role should be limited to creating a fair playing field, not picking winners and losers.

I will eliminate duplicative and unnecessary government programs, boards, and agencies and reduce bureaucratic overhead and administrative bloat. I will also audit state agencies regularly for efficiency and accountability to strengthen transparency and oversight of taxpayer spending.

“Separation of church and state is not found in the Constitution. Our country was built on Christian values and individuals must be free to live out their beliefs and religion without government interference.

Strongly Disagree

No individual or business should be forced to violate their sincerely held religious beliefs. Protecting religious freedom is essential to a free society.

C, Medicaid and Medicare should remain, but additional government expansion is unnecessary. We must also institute working requirements for those in the Medicaid system who are able to work. Able bodied individuals and non U.S. citizens should not be eligible for Medicaid and Medicare. Healthcare works best when driven by competition, innovation, and patient choice—not government control.

Strongly Disagree

A government database tracking personal medical conditions raises serious privacy concerns and risks abuse. Healthcare decisions should remain between patients and their doctors. Such databases can ultimately lead to a single payor system, rationed healthcare and death panels deciding if healthcare is viable for the elderly.

Strongly Agree

The CCP poses a serious threat to the United States. It demands strong leadership and decisive action. During my time as Speaker, I took this threat seriously by passing legislation to ban foreign land ownership in Oklahoma and banned the Chinese Communist Party influence in higher education, especially through staffing and institutional ties. I will continue to stand firm against the influence of the Chinese Communist Party and fight to protect our state and country.

Yes, the relationship with Israel is critically important. Supporting Israel strengthens American security and promotes stability in the Middle East. The people of Israel are God’s chosen people and I will always stand with them.

Strongly Disagree

Sanctuary cities undermine the rule of law and create unsafe conditions for American citizens. That's why I passed some of the toughest immigration laws in the country banning sanctuary cities as Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives. Immigration laws must be enforced to protect our citizens and our country.

Strongly Agree

Decisions about our children’s education should be made by parents, teachers, and local leaders, not federal bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. As Speaker, I passed Oklahoma’s first-ever universal school choice program, making our state a national leader in education freedom. I believe parents know what is best for their children, not the federal government.

Strongly Agree

Foreign influence in the American education system poses risks to national security and academic integrity and exposes our children to possible indoctrination. It must be prohibited.

Strongly Agree

Parents have the fundamental right and responsibility to guide their children’s upbringing, education, and healthcare decisions. That's why as Speaker of the Oklahoma House, we passed a ban on schools and colleges requiring COVID19 vaccine mandates with Senate Bill 658 in 2021. We also passed House Bill 2335, which prohibited state agencies and entities from mandating vaccines or vaccine passports while requiring accommodations for medical, religious, and philosophical exemptions.

Strongly Agree

Children must be protected from irreversible decisions that can have lifelong consequences. That is why I banned sex change surgeries for minors in Oklahoma as Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives.

Strongly Agree

Marriage is a sacred institution between one man and one woman.

Neutral

I believe the issue of expanding gambling in our state should be approached with careful consideration. In Oklahoma, this conversation must also include our tribal partners, who play a central role in gaming and have contributed significantly to economic growth, job creation, and support for public services. Any discussion should respect existing tribal agreements and ensure that decisions are made collaboratively, with strong safeguards in place.

I am a strong Christian and I believe that our rights come from God, not government, and that biblical truth should guide how we lead and make decisions because it is the inherent word of God. My faith is the foundation of my life, my family, and my service to the people of Oklahoma. As a husband of more than three decades and a father, I understand how important it is to protect and strengthen the family. Strong families are the backbone of strong communities. In my role as Speaker, my faith has guided me to stand firm on principle, even when it is not easy. Whether defending the unborn, protecting religious liberty, or standing up for what is right, I believe leadership requires both conviction and character.

Strongly Disagree

Election integrity is essential to maintaining public trust in our democratic process, and requiring a valid photo ID is a simple, common-sense safeguard to ensure that every vote is protected. During my time as Speaker, I stopped legislation that would have allowed illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses in Oklahoma. Providing state-issued identification to individuals who are not lawfully present undermines the integrity of our systems and creates additional vulnerabilities.

Strongly Disagree

I strongly disagree with reparations based on race. Our nation was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and our laws should reflect equal treatment for every individual, not divide Americans based on race.

Strongly Agree

I strongly believe we must protect fairness, safety, and opportunity for women and girls, and my record reflects that commitment. As Speaker of the Oklahoma House, I passed legislation to protect women’s sports by ensuring that biological males cannot compete against female athletes and banned sex change surgeries on minors in Oklahoma. Children should be protected from irreversible medical decisions that carry lifelong consequences. Biological differences matter.

Strongly Disagree

I believe we should be good stewards of our environment, but I do not agree with the idea that man-made climate change requires government mandates that harm our economy and energy independence. As Speaker, I ended state green energy subsidies. Oklahoma is an energy state, and our oil and natural gas industry has been a cornerstone of our economy. I also support innovation in energy technology, including nuclear power and improvements in efficiency, so long as they are market-driven.

Reliable energy must include a strong mix of natural gas, oil, and nuclear power. These sources provide consistent, affordable, and dependable energy while supporting economic growth, job creation, and national security.

Very Conservative

I am the proven conservative and my record backs that up. As the longest-serving Speaker of the House in Oklahoma history, I have led with a clear commitment to faith, family, freedom, and the rule of law. Under my leadership, we passed the largest tax cut in state history, banned sex change surgeries on minors, banned foreign land ownership, and passed some of the toughest illegal immigration laws in the country. My approach to leadership is simple. Govern like a Republican.

No

No

The primary goal is to protect public safety, ensure justice for victims, and hold offenders accountable. Rehabilitation is important, but accountability and deterrence must come first.

Strongly Agree

The government must protect children from online exploitation through strong enforcement and modern safeguards.

Strongly Agree

I believe the United States must operate under one legal system—the Constitution and the rule of law rooted in our nation’s founding principles. During my time as Speaker, I banned foreign laws, including Sharia law, to protect our state from outside influences that conflict with our laws and values.

The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms. Efforts should focus on addressing mental health and targeting criminal misuse of firearms—not limiting constitutional rights. As Speaker, I not only protected our Second Amendment rights but I restored them by co-authoring Constitutional Carry because citizens have the right to bear arms. I have received the A+ Lifetime Rating from the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association and an A Rating from the National Rifle Association.
