My platform is straightforward.
Respect. Mayor Holt pushed policies that were disrespectful of law enforcement, the people of Oklahoma City, and businesses in Oklahoma City. We need a mayor who respects individual liberty, private property rights, and limited government. I’m pro-business and pro-worker. My record of fighting for people and businesses throughout Oklahoma speaks for itself.
Follow the Law. Mayor Holt’s Covid-19 proclamations shutting down businesses were unlawful abuses of power. I filed a lawsuit against OKC in November 2020 on behalf of seven Oklahoma City plaintiffs to stop Mayor Holt from threatening workers with six months of jail time for simply trying to earn a living. Mayor Holt backed down and rescinded his unlawful proclamation 11 days after he issued it. I will follow the law and not shut businesses down.
Stop Wasteful Spending. Mayor Holt cheerleads tax increases. I will not. People come to Oklahoma for its low cost of living and economic freedom. Mayor Holt’s policies will destroy the very reason people come here. I will look for ways to reduce spending. For example, OKC has budgeted $5 million for the streetcars next year. Hardly anyone rides the streetcars, so that money could be better allocated elsewhere or not taken in the first place.
Criminal Justice Reform. Mayor Holt has not done enough to promote criminal justice reform. I will use my legal expertise to advocate for a safer city and common-sense criminal justice reforms. Some things are simple, such as opening the lobby of the Oklahoma City Police Department, which has been closed for over a year and a half. Also, people arrested by OCPD should be allowed to see all the evidence that would be used against them.
