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].

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.

    Oklahoma’s Elected Officials The Oklahoma State Senate There are 48 members in the Oklahoma State Senate. By law, the Lieutenant Governor is president of the Senate, but the role is limited to presiding over special sessions and casting the deciding vote in case of a tie. The law also provides that the Senate will elect a President Pro Tempore, while the House of Representatives elects a Speaker of the House. State senators serve staggered four-year terms. Senators in odd-numbered districts were elected in 2012. Those in even-numbered districts will be elected in 2014. Legislators are paid $38,400 annually, along with certain necessary expenses. The President Pro Tempore of the State Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives are paid an additional $17,932 annually, and the majority floor leaders and the minority floor leaders of each House are paid an additional $12,364 per year. The Senate occupies the third, fourth and fifth floors on the east side of the rotunda in the state Capitol. Joint sessions are held in the House Chambers. The Senate Chambers are located on the fourth floor, with the visitors' gallery on the fifth floor. President Pro Tempore Senator Brian Bingman District 12 Bingman was born on December 9, 1953, in Tulsa, OK. He received a BBA in Petroleum Land Management from the University of Oklahoma in 1976.
