On Education: Participated in teacher walkout protesting Oklahoma cuts

Oklahoma's huge teacher walkout was a powerful catalyzing moment. Decades of tax cuts had gutted education funding, leading to four-day school weeks, crowded classrooms, and abysmal teacher pay. As a result of the low wages, Oklahoma struggled to recruit enough teachers, so it implemented an emergency certification program that allowed people to teach without formal training. Fed up with these policies and feeling ignored by politicians, 50,000 teachers from across the state swarmed the Capitol grounds in April 2018, causing schools to shut down for weeks. Horn participated in the walkout and earned the endorsement of the Oklahoma Education Association. Alicia Priest, the association's president, said there was no doubt that Horn's heart was with the public schools.

On Education: Remove student loans from credit histories

When Horn got a question about student loan debt, she seemed glad to have the opportunity to talk about a bill that would expunge a person's adverse credit history related to federal student loans.
