I was raised in Copan, graduated in 1995, and returned to Bartlesville as a third-generation union worker. For 26 years, I’ve served as Committee Chairman and Vice President of IUOE Local 351 and now as Secretary of the Oklahoma Democratic Party Veterans Federation. As the son of a Vietnam Army Veteran, I am committed to supporting our veterans.

I bring decades of union leadership and negotiation experience to Congress—listening, finding common ground, and putting people over party. I’m a proud union member from rural Oklahoma, dedicated to fair wages, safe workplaces, and stronger communities, and I will fight to represent the best interests of Oklahoma’s 2nd District.

My Policies Are For A Fairer, Stronger America – Policies
I am fighting for a stronger, fairer America where every citizen has equal rights and opportunities. I will modernize our immigration system, protect women’s healthcare choices, fully fund public schools, and strengthen Social Security and Medicare. I believe healthcare must be affordable for all, our economy should grow from the working class up, and corporations and the wealthy must pay their fair share.

I will stand firm in defending the rights of women, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and minorities—rejecting discrimination, hate, and attacks on equality.

My vision is clear: a country where every American has the chance not just to survive, but to thrive.

“I’ve been to seven of counties in CD2 and I plan to visit them all. I will meet with anyone, regardless of their party. I am working for the people — and I obviously have Democratic party ideals but in Congress I will have been sent to work for all the people. So I will be taking the union approach to that: you’ve got to work for the majority of your base.”
