On Government Reform: Set up courts designed to address business disputes

To be the best state for business and attract more top level CEOs, we need to keep pushing business friendly policies and reducing burdensome regulations. I'm calling on the legislature to take a page out of Delaware and Texas' playbook and set up a system of courts specifically designed to address business disputes. Businesses need assurance that disputes will be adjudicated by courts with expertise in business law. Source: 2024 State of the State Address to the Oklahoma legislature Feb 5, 2024

On Immigration: Without a secure border, every state is a border state

We have to keep bad actors, like the drug cartels, out of our state. That starts with securing our country's southern border. I have been vocal about my support of Texas and Governor Abbott as they fight to secure our southern border and put pressure on the Biden administration to enforce our laws. I will continue to offer the assistance of the Oklahoma National Guard because we know that when we don't have a secure border, every state is a border state.

On Principles & Values: The Oklahoma Dream: free enterprise and individual liberties

I see Oklahomans who take seriously the commandment to care for the widow and orphan. A state where family values are foundational. A state where our communities are safe. The Oklahoma Standard is alive and well and we are thriving as a state. But we can't let our success make us complacent and forget what made the Oklahoma Dream possible: free enterprise and individual liberties. Not more government programs.

On Principles & Values: As for me and my state, we will serve the Lord!

As for me and my state, we will serve the Lord!
I'm calling on our businesses to serve God in the marketplace.
Our churches to serve God and people in our communities.
Our government officials to serve God by acting righteously and serving without partiality.
