🗳️ AUGUST 25 RUNOFF IS ONE WEEK AWAY, LET’S GO VOTE!

Do your own research on candidates. Read about their positions. Ask questions. Then get to the polls and VOTE on August 25.

Here are our suggestions & endorsements for two key runoff races that will impact the future of Oklahoma.

GOVERNOR (Republican ballot) Gentner Drummond is suggested in the August 25 runoff.
**GOVERNOR: in the November general election, we fully ENDORSE Cyndi Munson. She will work on behalf of ALL Oklahomans**

STATE SUPERINTENDENT (Both runoff & general): Dr. Robert Franklin is the most qualified candidate in this race. He’s also the candidate the teachers support. Full endorsement.

STATE QUESTION 846: Vote NO. Oklahoma already has voter ID requirements. This would lock them into our constitution and give the legislature unchecked power to change them. No.

STATE QUESTION 844: Vote NO. This changes how the state reimburses schools and local governments for manufacturing exemptions. Vote no.

Most importantly: VOTE. Get your friends to vote. Get your family to vote. These state questions made it onto this ballot because people weren’t expected to show up. Prove them wrong.
Make good trouble. 💙

Whether you’re worried about election security, foreign interference, or just want clarity on how the system actually works, this is the conversation democracy requires.

Bring yourself. Bring a friend. Bring your questions. And be sure to RSVP using the link in the bio!

Make good trouble.

Last night, Jess Piper, Executive Director of Blue Missouri reminded us what it means to be a rural Democrat in a red state. And honestly? We needed to hear it.

Jess talked healthcare. Education. The economy. Data centers. She showed us where common ground actually exists, where Republicans and Democrats are united on what matters.

But the real gift? She gave us a roadmap for how to talk to the other side. Not to convince them to flip. But to listen, to find the values we share, and to build from there. That’s what it looks like to be a dirt road Democrat, standing firm in what you believe while staying connected to your neighbors.

In a moment when everything feels divided, Jess brought hope. She showed us it’s possible to lead with both conviction and compassion.

This is the work. This is how we make good trouble.

Thanks, Jess. And thanks to everyone who showed up ready to listen and learn.

Last night was GOOD TROUBLE at its finest.
100 people filled the room and every single one of them showed up ready to engage. That’s who we are, Tulsa.

Jess Meloy from the Tulsa Voter Coalition reminded us of something we can never hear enough: elections in Oklahoma are decided by razor-thin margins. Your vote matters. Your friend’s vote matters. Showing up and bringing people with you is how we make change.

State Senator Jo Anna Dossett showed us exactly why we need more thoughtful, strong leaders like her in our state capitol. She gave us a real, honest update on the past legislative session, the wins, the frustrations, and the fights still ahead. She also talked about the very important state questions coming up on the ballots between now and November:

📅 June 16 — SQ 832: Raise Oklahoma’s minimum wage to $15 by 2029. Oklahoma workers haven’t had a raise since 2009. Vote YES.
📅 August 25 — Two State Questions on voter ID and local government funding. Know what you’re voting on.
📅 November 3 — Two more State Questions on property tax. Details coming.

Do your research. Walk into that voting booth an informed voter. There is a lot at stake between now and November. Stay engaged. Stay informed. Show up.

Thank you to everyone who filled that room last night. You are what Good Trouble Tulsa is all about. If you missed it, don’t miss the next one.

Make good trouble!

COMMENT:
OK we have to be honest…we love both Craig McVay AND Robert Franklin for Superintendent of Public Instruction so much that we just couldn’t choose! Do your research, trust your gut, and make your own call. Either way, Oklahoma kids win!

Our next meeting is one you won’t want to miss!

State Senator Jo Anna Dossett will join us to talk about what’s at stake for democracy, elections, and voter rights in Oklahoma right now and trust us, there is a lot to cover.
Jess Meloy from Tulsa Voter Coalition will also join us to dig into voter propensity and engagement, what it means, why it matters, and how we can use it to make our organizing more effective.
If you care about free and fair elections, your vote counting, and protecting the foundations of our democracy, this is the room to be in.
