SQ 802, please vote NO.
It is an expansion of Medicaid to the tune of 620,000 people added to the rolls. States that have done this find the number of people usually triples in the first year, vastly inflating the amount of state money needed. It is an incentive to not working. We have a problem with healthcare in the U.S., it is unaffordable, but that is due to the practice of insurance and people not having skin in the game and shopping around. Plus we already have two other programs fully funded, Sooner Care for kids and Insure Oklahoma for adults.
U.S. Senate
U.S. House
The five Congressional seats will go to incumbents as always. However, you can cast a protest vote.
District 2 has a fairly conservative incumbent, Mark Wayne Mullin
District 4 has a good pick, James Taylor. The incumbent is Tom Cole who is fairly liberal.
District 5, incumbent is Kendra Horn who needs replaced. The most likely to beat her are Terry Neese and Stephanie Bice. Bice has a well established RINO voting record, a poor choice but heads above Horn. Neese comes across as cartoonish and has ran numerous times and lost. Of the two, I would hold my nose and vote for Neese. The rest of the pack have little money and even less name recognition. As this is a primary you can pretty much vote for anyone of them other than Janet Barrisie and the state will be better off.
The other two districts have no Republican primary challengers, only a November general election.
As for Oklahoma House and Senate races, here is the link to the 2020 Trump Index that scores all the incumbents.
HOW TO SPOT A FRINGE CANDIDATE
Specifically, here is a list of the radial abolitionist cult candidates, all of which need defeated. These are NOT pro life Republicans, these are single issue radicals hell bent on imposing a religious test upon candidates. Please oppose every one of them if you live in their district.
U.S. Congress
Joseph Silk (Congressional District 2)
Silk ran the abolitionist bill in 2019 and was soundly whipped after the abolitionists cult members attacked Senate leadership including picketing their personal homes. They ran a vicious attack against all that refused to support striking down all of Oklahoma's anti abortion laws in favor of this new law that would have certainly been found unconstitutional. Silk found himself the pariah of the Senate, unable to accomplish anything in 2020 and chose to see if he could hood wink an entire Congressional District instead.
Senate
Warren Hamilton (Senate District 7)
Hamilton is running against Larry Boggs who voted against the Medicaid expansion, for the anti red flag laws, and for a great anti abortion senate bill. Boggs scored a 50 in the Trump Index which sadly is not a bad score for the Senate.
Christian Ford (Senate District 28)
Ford is running for an open Senate seat against Zack Taylor, Taylor represented HD 28 and had a score of 70 on the Trump Index for 2020. That is a good score and we need to keep a man like that in office. The only other candidate is Mike Haines, born in New Jersey and is a pastor of a Deer Creek church.
Carissa Roberson (Senate District 13)
Roberson is running against incumbent Greg McCourtney who scored a mere 25 on the 2020 Trump Index. Once could say that allowing a radical cult member to win the election would indeed take out a RINO and the chances of a cult member getting anything done is slim. Personally, I would leave the ballot blank on this one.
House Seats
Kenny Bob Tapp (House District 61)
Tapp is another perennial candidate, far left Ron Paul type actually, and one of the members of the abolitionists cult. He is facing incumbent Kenton Patzkowsky who scored 60 points on the 2020 Trump Index.
Brenda Angel (House District 18)
Angel is running against incumbent David Smith who scored 80 points on the 2020 Trump Index, one of the higher scoring incumbents. Only an idiot would claim to be conservative or being a Christian and run against such a man. This is not about having a conservative in office, it is about having THEIR man in office so they can control them.
Shannon Rowell (House District 17)
Rowell is running against Jim Greggo who scored 50 points on the 2020 Trump Index. That isn't a horrible score but again an abolitionist cult member wouldn't get anything done if elected so this one is a coin toss.
Karmin Grider (House District 31)
Grider is running against incumbent Gary Mize who scored 40 points on the 2020 Trump Index. Mize personally is an arrogant man, misogynistic, and overall just a miserable excuse for a representative. Once again, would a cult member be better than such a person? Good luck picking the lesser of evils on this one.
Eric Ensley (House District 1)
Ensley is running against Johnny Tadlock who earned 40 points on the 2020 Trump Index. Another real challenge for the voters to pick from.
Angie Brinlee (House District 15)
Brinlee is running against incumbent Randy Randleman who earned a score of 60 on the 2020 Trump Index. That is a healthy score for a district that leans towards the Democrats at times. Once again only a fool would run a cult member against a fairly conservative politician. Single issue groups like the abolitionists do this all the time though.
