  • Executive Budget Summary Submitted by J
    FISCAL YEAR 2022 EXECUTIVE BUDGET SUMMARY SUBMITTED BY J. KEVIN STITT, GOVERNOR TO THE FIRST SESSION OF THE TH OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE FY 2022 Executive Budget Governor J. Kevin Stitt February 1, 2021 State of Oklahoma | Executive Budget Summary J. Kevin Stitt Office of the Governor State of Oklahoma To the Citizens of the Great State of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Legislature: Oklahomans will always remember the year 2020 with a heavy heart. Like the rest of the nation, our state met one of the greatest challenges we have ever faced. COVID-19 has dramatically changed our way of life. It has ravaged economies and livelihoods, taken too many lives and tested our ability to move forward. Yet even in the face of a pandemic, I am proud to report that Oklahoma did indeed move forward. We did not stumble or slow down in our race to becoming a Top Ten state. Therefore, it is with great optimism and hope that I present our budget roadmap for fiscal year 2022. Oklahoma was one of the first states to fully reopen our economy, allowing our businesses to continue to operate and safely return to work. Keeping our state’s economy open was a conscious decision and I stand by it today. Our commitment to put families’ livelihoods first has, quite literally, paid off. Oklahoma is now in a better position than most to meet our state’s needs for this next fiscal year. We will improve the lives of Oklahomans through investments in education, health care, infrastructure and economic development and diversification.

  • Governor Mary Fallin Constitution, Article 6 § 1
    Executive Branch 66 67 Governor Mary Fallin Constitution, Article 6 § 1 Governor Mary Fallin was elected November 2, 2010, during a historic election in which she became the first-ever female governor of Oklahoma. She was inaugurated on the steps of the Oklahoma Capitol as the state’s twenty-seventh governor on January 10, 2011. She won reelection in November 2014. After working in the private sector as a manager for a national hotel chain, Fallin made her first foray into public service in 1990 when she was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives. This began her long and distinguished career of public service dedicated to conservative, common sense solutions to the challenges facing Oklahoma families and small businesses. During her time in the House, Fallin earned a reputation as a consensus builder who was willing to reach across the aisle. Serving in the Republican minority, she managed to pass more than a dozen bills that were signed into law by the state’s Democratic governor, including Oklahoma’s first “anti-stalker law,” and measures aimed at improving the business climate in Oklahoma. She also worked to lower the health care costs of small businesses in Okla- homa and for her work in this area was honored as a Legislator of the Year by the American Legislative Exchange Council. In 1994 Fallin would first make history by becoming the first woman and first Republican to be elected lieutenant governor of Oklahoma, an office she would hold for twelve years. In this capacity, Fallin focused her attention on issues affecting job creation and economic development.
