After a term in which he successfully advocated for workers’ compensation reform, higher pay for Oklahoma’s troopers, and growing Oklahoma’s oil and gas industry, Lamb was reelected in 2014, winning in each of Oklahoma’s seventy-seven counties. Lamb continues to focus on being the voice of Oklahomans in the capitol. Every year he visits each of Oklahoma’s seventy-seven counties.

An Enid native, Lamb played football at Louisiana Tech University, then returned to Oklahoma earning a bachelor’s degree from Oklahoma State University, and his law degree from Oklahoma City University School of Law. At the start of his career, Lamb worked for then gubernatorial candidate Frank Keating, and then served in the Keating administration until 1998, when Lamb became special agent with the United States Secret Service.

    Hello, Education Insiders! Every Friday Stand for Children Oklahoma will share with you what’s happening under the dome at 23rd and Lincoln in regard to critical K-12 education legislation. If you have any questions, please contact our operations coordinator, Amy Stinnett, at [email protected], or Gwendolyn Caldwell, our government affairs director, at [email protected]. If you’d like to add your voice for education this session and stand for what is right for Oklahoma children, please visit http://stand.org/oklahoma/ to see how you can help each child receive a world-class education! Speculation on a budget deal continues, and we are hearing an announcement could be made at any time. With only a few days left, it’s more important than ever to tell your lawmakers that Cuts Have Consequences by signing this petition. Our state leaders are contending with $611 million budget shortfall this year and scheduled tax reductions, which means cuts will have to be made. Our students simply cannot afford any more cuts. So please sign this petition today, then share it with your friends and family who agree education should be kept off the chopping block. If you can find five Oklahomans who also care about our students and will add their names to the petition, Oklahoma lawmakers will not be able to ignore the urgency and importance of this issue. There is power in numbers and if we stand together in this petition, lawmakers will hear us! There has been no public movement on the issue of third-grade reading and keeping the parent-teacher-school teams in place this week.

  • How Did Law, Order, and Growth Develop in Oklahoma?
    Chapter How did law, order, and growth develop 10 in Oklahoma? Where did the name “Oklahoma” originate? In 1866, the U.S. and Five Civilized Tribes signed the Reconstruction treaties. That was when Choctaw Chief Allen Wright coined the word “Oklahoma.” He made it from two Choctaw words, “okla” and “humma,” meaning “Land of the Red Man.” He meant it for the eastern half of Indian Terri- tory, the home of the five tribes. In later years, however, “Oklaho- ma country” became the common name for the Unassigned Lands. It was 1890 when the western half of the old Indian Territory became the Territory of Oklahoma. What was provisional government? On April 23, 1889, the day after the Land Run, settlers met in Oklahoma City and Guthrie to set up temporary governments. Other towns followed suit. Soon all the towns on the prairie had a type of skeleton government, usually run by a mayor. Homesteaders also chose town marshals and school boards. They chose committees to resolve dispute over land claims. Sur- veyors mapped out Guthrie and Oklahoma City. There were dis- putes about an unofficial government making official property Allen Wright Oklahoma Historical lines, but, later, the surveys were declared legal. Today, they remain the Society basis for land titles in those cities. The temporary or provisional governments were indeed “unof- ficial.” They succeeded only because the majority of people agreed to their authority. Not everyone agreed, however, and crime was hard to control. Often troops from Fort Reno closed the gap between order and disorder. The army’s presence controlled violence enough to keep set- tlers there.
