I join the overwhelming majority of Oklahoma to demand an amendment to the United States Constitution to end the domination of big money in politics and give voice to all Americans.
I will stand with Oklahoma, without regard to party or other differences, and urge all candidates and elected officials to do the same, in order to pass and ratify such a constitutional amendment as soon as possible.
"When States have a stronger role in campaign finance laws, Oklahoma will undoubtedly protect the voice of our constituents and their values while also fighting to weed out those threatening Oklahoma’s sovereignty."

"Allowing foreign interests and their money to infiltrate our elections threatens the safety, freedom, and strength of Oklahoma; we must act decisively to ensure our state's future remains in the hands of its people."

Former Oklahoma Majority Floor Leader
Our Details
Oklahoma & American Promise
Oklahoma citizens are joining with Americans across the country to strengthen our nation against the corruption of money in politics, foreign interference, division, and dysfunction. We are using our voices to say that the decisions that matter in our state and our lives should be up to us.
In 2024, election spending totaled more than $20B in the United States. To protect the right of Oklahoma voters to make our own decisions and our way of life, we must stand together to end the flood of money drowning out our voices in local, State and Federal elections.
Testimonial
“By the people, for the people” means just that, not “for the highest bidder.” When we use our voice to vote, we should feel confident that those elected officials are good stewards of our tax dollars- that they’re answering their constituents, not outsiders. Reasonable guidelines around campaign finances and election expenses are the first step to ensuring that the agenda of special interests doesn’t drown out the voices of everyday Oklahomans.”

American Promise is mobilizing a grassroots, volunteer-led effort to keep the issue of money in politics at the forefront of the political conversation in each state through media outreach, petition signing events, lobby days, civics education and much more. Here’s a timeline of our progress so far:
22 states have called on Congress to pass the amendment.
Millions of Americans have signed petitions and voted for the proposed For Our Freedom Amendment in state and local initiatives.
Voters and local representatives in nearly 1,000 cities and towns have met in town meetings and local councils to debate and pass resolutions to condemn the influence of unlimited money in elections and to advance the For Our Freedom Amendment.
Americans in all 50 states have signed the citizen pledge.
Amendment legislation has been introduced in the U.S. House and Senate.
