2021 Public Input Report Compiled by the House Redistricting Office 2021 Redistricting Public Input Report SUBMITTED TO THE HOUSE STATE AND FEDERAL REDISTRICTING COMMITTEE 58TH LEGISLATURE OKLAHOMA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES | HOUSE REDISTRICTING OFFICE By law, the Legislature must redraw its districts and congressional boundaries to reflect changes in population every 10 years, immediately following the decennial census. To facilitate and encourage public input in the redistricting process, the House Redistricting Committee and its regional subcommittees held a series of in person and virtual town halls throughout the state in December 2020 and January 2021. In collaboration with the Oklahoma Senate, there were 20 meetings hosted by staff and lawmakers, 18 in person, two virtual. Meetings were also livestreamed, when possible, and recorded. House recordings are available to the public to review at https://okhouse.gov/Video/Default.aspx. Senate town hall footage can be re- watched here: https://oksenate.gov/live-chamber. All Oklahomans were and are still encouraged to contact their state representative or email the House Redistricting Office at [email protected] to provide feedback on communities of interest, local preferences, and other thoughts on the redistricting process. For consideration by the House State and Federal Redistricting Committee, this report provides a summary of the feedback received at the town halls and through the House Redistricting Office through September 13, 2021. The report is organized into three sections: Section 1: Town Hall Notes (pages 2 to 15) Section 2: Local Preference/District Concerns/General Feedback (page 16 to 35) Section 3: Appendix (page 36) 1 | P a g e Oklahoma City House Redistricting Town Hall Date & Time: December 9, 2020, 5:30 p.m. (1 hour and 25 minute runtime) Recording available: https://okhouse.gov/Video/Default.aspx Location: Oklahoma State Capitol, Room 206, 2300 N. Lincoln Blvd, Oklahoma City, OK 73105 Host: Representative Nicole Miller (HD 82), Rep. Ajay Pittman (HD 99) Chair and Vice-Chair, Oklahoma County Subcommittee Members Present: Representatives Miller, Pittman, Martinez, Roberts (Eric), Turner, Cruz, Crosswhite-Hader, Stinson, Osburn, Fugate. Joining virtually for the record: Reps. Echols, West, Stark, and Manger. Estimated Attendance: 30 Questions and comments from the public: 1. Rhonda M., Resident of Edmond, OK, representing the League of Women Voters • Are you accepting public map submissions? Please recognize and acknowledge historically disenfranchised communities when drawing boundary lines. On survey, Rhonda writes that this should be weighted higher than all other redistricting principles. 2. Ray P., Mayor of Jones, OK • I would like all citizens within Jones city limits to be able to vote in Jones and not any other towns (i.e. having to go to Spencer to vote). Jones is currently split by two Senate districts (SD 17 & 48) and two House districts (HD 97 & HD 96) and I request that the community be in one district each. Also, do not split our school district if possible. We need to have integrity in this process and be sure not to return to the time of segregation. Please don’t split Eastern OK County too much. On survey, Mayor Poland writes the communities of interest criteria sounds like segregation. 3. Carol G., President CEO of Choctaw Chamber of Commerce • Small towns are split between several districts. Please keep Nicoma Park and Choctaw (HD 97 & 101) in one district on every level. Having more concentration of our elected officials helps us have better representation. Eastern OK County needs less community splits. 4. Jakky, Resident of Oklahoma County, representing League of Women Voters • Gerrymandering is usually used to quiet the voice of the people; we should use gerrymandering to enhance the voice of the people. Attended the People’s Not Politician training and asked if there was a training regarding the software that the legislature is using to redraw the lines. 5. Jonathon K., Resident of Edmond, OK • Heard a rumor that Oklahoma County is going to receive two additional House seats and would like to know where are they going and how are we going to maintain 101 House seats? 2 | P a g e 6. Robert H., Resident of Edmond, OK • Will there be an interactive map for public to see plans? How is the census data received? Where can I get block level data? 7. Marybel C., Resident of Edmond, OK • Why are certain congressional district so large in size compared to others? How can we make sure that districts are drawn appropriately? There is a clear distinction between West Edmond and the Village, and I would like to see that distinction maintained. 8. Robbie W., question submitted via email • Asked to view the map on the easel (population change map by House district). Staff emailed map following the meeting and uploaded the map to the HRO website. 9. Scott H., question submitted via email • Why are we staying at 101 House districts? Is there a reason that district numbers cannot be sequential for neighboring districts? In follow-up email, Scott writes, I don't have an issue with the 101...it just seems like an odd number. Seems we could streamline the numbering system and make district numbers more meaningful. For example: All OKC district are 1-22, all Tulsa districts are 23-35, NW ok is 35 to ?, etc. Just some definition of the numbers would be a good thing. Staff notes: There is a 1971 Attorney General’s opinion concerning the maximum number of members of the Oklahoma House may have, which suggests 99, 100 or 101 districts is an acceptable number based on a 1964 court case, Reynolds v. State Election Board. Historical records show there have been 101 House districts since the 34th Legislature (1973-1974). 10. Jonathon C., resident of Edmond, OK • Oklahoma County could be its own congressional district. We should make sure that we don’t engage in political gerrymandering. What’s preventing you from using political data in redistricting? Staff notes: Please see table for estimated population growth by congressional district and other factors. Political data such as election returns and voter registration data is not part of the House’s redistricting database.

Sheila Dills (HD 69) and Rep. Monroe Nichols (HD 72), Chair and Vice-Chair, Tulsa County Subcommittee Members Present: Representatives Dills, Nichols, Boatman, Rogers, O’Donnell, May, Davis; Senator Rader Estimated Attendance: 27 Questions and comments from the public: 1. Mike W., resident of Tulsa • Can you talk about congressional districts that will be drawn? 2. Alvin O., resident of Tulsa • How do you plan to manage public input received at town halls? Can you talk about the guidelines used for redistricting and whether those criteria are ranked? The voting distance for some precincts in Washington County are too large. 3. Tommy Y, resident of Tulsa • Neighborhood lines change more than district lines, why are some districts still relatively the same shape over time, referencing HD 99 from the PPT as an example? 4. Terry F., resident of Jenks • What is the software you are using for redistricting? Who draws the precinct lines? How are precincts numbered? Staff note: Tulsa County election staff was in attendance and clarified they have the authority to renumber precincts. 5. Michael A., resident of Jenks • What kind of public information should we expect between the end of the public meetings and when the legislation enacts plans for redistricting? I really like the way my House district (68) is shaped. Staff notes: Follow up comment not on recording. I would be better represented by somebody who also represents a more urban/suburban area rather than somebody that represents a largely exurban/rural area. Please keep precinct 420 in Creek County (Jenks precinct) in a district that has urban/suburban leanings as it currently is. Asked that the same be considered for any Senate plan (i.e SD 37). 4 | P a g e McAlester House Redistricting Town Hall Date & Time: December 16, 2020, 6:30 p.m. (31 minutes runtime) Recording available: https://okhouse.gov/Video/Default.aspx Location: JI Stipes Center, 801 N. 9th Street, McAlester, OK 74501 Host: Rep.

  • 2020 Legislative Toolkit
    2020 LEGISLATIVE TOOLKIT Oklahoma Primary Care Association OKLAHOMA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS STATEWIDE OVERVIEW 21 health centers in Oklahoma operate 110+ locations across the state WHAT ARE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS? Community health centers (CHCs), also known as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) or health centers, are non-profit health care providers that deliver comprehensive primary health care services to medically underserved communities. To best serve their patients, many health centers offer a one-stop-shop of integrated services under one roof like medical, dental, behavioral, vision, transportation, case management, and more. The health center program provides health care to over 28 million individuals in the United States. Health centers have long been a bipartisan solution to concerns about health care access, quality, and cost. Health centers treat all patients regardless of ability to pay. In Oklahoma, where many families and individuals lack access to primary care, health centers provide much-needed cost-effective and preventive services and save the health care system money by preventing expensive, avoidable emergency department visits and chronic illnesses. Health centers use sliding fee scales based on patients’ income, have after-hours coverage, meet extensive performance and accountability requirements, and are governed by patient-majority boards that reflect the communities they serve. From Afton to Guymon and Hollis to Idabel, community health centers create jobs and save lives in every corner of our state.

  • View Overview of State Issues
    OPE OKLAHOMA SENATE Overview of State Issues October 2016 State Senate Staff State Capitol Building Suite 309 Oklahoma City, OK 73105 (405) 521-5692 INTRODUCTION Oklahoma Senate Overview of State Issues is designed to provide a convenient summary of policy, budget and taxation issues that face Oklahoma's Legislature. Though full of factual groundwork, this book’s goal is also to put issues in context. Discussion begins with a brief overview of the state’s economic conditions and population trends, since these dynamics so often serve as catalysts for change. The state's tax structure is examined closely, beginning with an analysis of total taxation and how it compares with other states. Each major tax type is then presented in detail – how it is assessed, collected and spent under the law. Regional and national rate analyses are provided for each major tax type. Overall expenditures are presented in a chapter that details the emergence of broad shifts in spending priorities. Recent bond issues for capital improvements are also highlighted. Next is a series of chapters, each of which is dedicated to a major policy area that has been the subject of recent legislative deliberation and action. Subjects discussed include the programs and budgets of almost all major state agencies. Where relevant, descriptions of issues include historical context and state-by- state comparisons. Programs and policies that at first may seem perplexing are more easily understood when viewed in historical context. The information is by no means comprehensive. More information on a particular topic can be obtained by contacting the Senate staff analysts listed on the dividing page of each chapter.

    1 Senate Journal First Regular Session of the Fifty-eighth Legislature of the State of Oklahoma First Legislative Day, Tuesday, January 5, 2021 COMMUNICATION November 23, 2020 The Honorable J. Kevin Stitt Governor, State of Oklahoma 2300 N. Lincoln Boulevard Oklahoma City, OK 73105 Dear Governor Stitt, Over the last six years, it has been my sincere honor to serve and represent the constituents of Senate District 22. I have done my best to be a voice for voters in Piedmont, Yukon, NW Oklahoma City and Edmond, and they believed in me enough to elect me twice to this senate seat. I’m pleased to have been a part of so many positive changes during my tenure. In 2016, voters passed State Question 792, supporting alcohol modernization which opened the door for new businesses and opportunities across Oklahoma, resulting in nearly 5,000 new jobs. With the passage of State Question 788 and the successful enactment of HB 1269, of which I was the Senate author, Oklahoma is working to reduce our mass incarceration rates and the related fiscal and social costs that go with it. I’d be remiss if I did not mention supporting the largest increase in public education funding in the history of our state in 2018 totaling almost half a billion dollars, and the subsequent passage of an additional $120M in 2019 which you championed. But more important than these, are the families who have been impacted by legislation I carried. Two bills in particular, one which standardized investigations following the sudden, unexplained death of infants in Oklahoma, and the second which delayed the release of autopsy reports to the media so next of kin would be given time to process the information contained in the reports, are some of my proudest moments of service.

  • Oklahoma State Capitol Dome
    OKLAHOMA STATE CAPITOL DOME FEATURED PRODUCTS PROJECT INFORMATION Series 394 PerimePrime On July 20, 1914, ground was broken in Oklahoma City, Okla., for a state Project Location capitol building. Some 80+ years later, the project was finally completed. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Although the state’s legislature has been meeting in the capitol since 1918, World War I shortages halted construction of the dome and the Project Completion Date building had been “finished” with a saucer dome in 1915. In 1990, a May 2001 non-profit group was formed to raise funds to build the dome. Finally, in 2000, then Gov. Frank Keating announced plans to complete the capitol Owner building’s dome and construction began. State of Oklahoma The original 1914 structural design for the large dome incorporated a Architect/Engineer cast-in-place ribbed concrete superstructure with a compression ring at FSB the crown and a tension ring at the base. When architects and engineers Oklahoma City, Oklahoma began planning the “new” dome, they wanted to remain as true as possi- ble to the original drawings for the building, but incorporate modern needs Contractor/Applicator and techniques into the work. It was determined that a steel superstruc- H & M Steel ture, hidden from view by installed cladding, offered the best solution. Luther, Oklahoma The new outer dome consists of precast concrete and cast stone, and the inner coffered dome is constructed of cast gypsum panels that feature a design symbolizing Oklahoma’s rich Native American history. The steel superstructure was primed with Tnemec’s Series 394 PerimePrime. Chosen to provide the long-term performance desired, Series 394 is a specially formulated, one-component, moisture-cured, micaceous iron oxide and zinc-filled primer that offers superior bonding to marginally prepared steel.
