  • Senate Journal
    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 House of Representatives Redrawing
    OKLAHOMA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES REDRAWING THE LINES Legislative and Congressional Redistricting In 2021 The Reapportionment and Redistricting Process Federal law requires states to redraw congressional boundaries every 10 years following the federal decennial census. The Oklahoma Constitution requires the Legislature to redraw legislative boundaries every 10 years following the census. It is necessary to reallocate congressional seats and redraw congressional and legislative boundaries to protect the principle of one person, one vote. While they are separate and distinct parts of the same process, reapportionment and redistricting are terms often mistakenly used interchangeably. Reapportionment Reapportionment, which occurs at the federal level, is the process of allocating the 435 seats in the U. S. House of Representatives among the 50 states based on the population of each state. At the conclusion of each census, the U.S. Census Bureau reports the state population totals for all states and the apportionment numbers for each state to the President by December 31. Oklahoma currently has five congressional seats and is predicted to retain five seats. Redistricting Redistricting refers to the process of adjusting, or redrawing, legislative and congressional district boundaries to accommodate the reapportionment as well as the population changes within the state based on the 2020 census. All of Oklahoma’s congressional districts, 48 Senate districts, and 101 House of Representatives districts are redrawn, to equalize representation. The Rules That Govern Redistricting Legislative and congressional redistricting are complex procedures influenced by a variety of factors. The Oklahoma Legislature is strictly bound by legal constraints established by the U. S. Constitution, the Oklahoma Constitution, Federal and Oklahoma statutes and court decisions.
