Democratic Candidate for House District 71. I am a lifelong Oklahoman from Sand Springs and have proudly called House District 71 home for over a decade.
Growing up, I developed a passion for public service and helping others reach their full potential. Inspired by the values instilled in me by my grandfather—hard work, integrity, and a commitment to defending the rights of all people—I have dedicated my life to serving my community. I have been happily married for ten years and am the proud father of three children. My love for both my family and

A huge thank you to everyone who helped me knock on doors this past weekend! A special shoutout to Representative Meloyde Blancett for joining us and for being so encouraging throughout this journey.
This whole experience has been a wild ride, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished in such a short time. Your support, hard work, and dedication mean the world to me.
I’m especially grateful to my amazing wife, Chandler Riggs and three sons—your love and support keep me going every day. One of my goals in running is to make Tulsa a place where my children will want to stay and thrive in their adult years.
I hope I can count on your vote this Tuesday, April 1st!

One Week Until Election Day!
I am truly grateful for the incredible support we’ve received throughout this campaign. I stepped into this race because I believe in the power of public service. When former Representative Amanda Swope asked me to consider running, I knew it was time to step up for our community.
Amanda and I first met over three years ago at the Freeway Cafe, when she was launching her own race for House District 71 and leading the Tulsa County Democratic Party. Today, I’m honored to have her endorsement and support as we work to continue the fight for strong public schools, economic opportunity, and a better future for all Oklahomans.
I hope I can earn your vote on April 1st!
