This week granted us yet another chance to celebrate the exceptional talents of our local student-athletes. It was my privilege to recognize the Texhoma girls' track team in the Senate. These young ladies had an incredible season, which ended with them securing the title of Class A state champions, a testament to their dedication, hard work and skill. I appreciate them making the trip to the Capitol and wish them the best of luck in their future academic and athletic endeavors.
We also welcomed seventh- and eighth-grade students from Woodward Public Schools this week. I always enjoy getting to visit with their teacher, Sonya Covalt, who not only impacts these students daily, but educates them on the importance of taking an active role in local and state government. I appreciate them visiting each year and appreciate Woodward Schools for promoting civic engagement among our youth.
Our final group this week was from Felt Junior High. I had the privilege of recognizing these up-and-coming community leaders in the Senate Gallery as they visited the Capitol to learn more about civic engagement and state government processes. I was incredibly impressed by these students and look forward to seeing their leadership in our community in the years to come. I appreciate them making the trip as well.
I’ve also continued meeting with various groups and individuals to discuss economic development projects throughout Northwest Oklahoma. I look forward to sharing more on these efforts as we work to promote our local businesses, improve our infrastructure, and more.
It is an honor to serve as your voice at the Capitol. Please contact my office at [email protected] or 405-521-5626 if I can be of assistance to you.
