Stephanie Bice in 2022 OK Senate race

On Health Care: No COVID mask mandates, statewide or nationwide

With Oklahoma still being in the red zone for COVID-19 cases, implementing mask mandates was one of the first issues highlighted. ] Bice started the debate by making it clear that she does not support a nation-wide or state-wide mask mandate. She explained that it doesn't make sense, in her view, to have national mandates when the circumstances are different for each city and state. On top of that, she emphasized that the economy and schools can not take a back seat to the pandemic.

[Democratic opponent Kendra] Horn, on the other hand, responded to the mask mandate question by saying that she does support it because health experts have suggested that wearing masks is an effective way of decreasing the spread of COVID-19.
