Women deserve equal pay for equal work

As our U.S. Senator, Connie will work to close the wage gap between women and men in our state and nation. She'll fight to ensure equal pay for equal work. Since 2001, the wage gap in Oklahoma between women and men has closed. Unfortunately, that gap closed, not only because of modest, increased wages for women, but because of wage losses for men. Today, while women are 50.5% of Oklahoma's population, they still only make 77 cents on the dollar compared to their male counterparts. Many Oklahoma families, in the aftermath of the 2008 economic crash, rely on women as the primary caregiver and the sole income earner. Connie believes Oklahoma's women deserve equal pay for equal work. In the U.S. Senate, she'll fight for nothing less.

Job protection & housing rights for LGBT citizens

Tens of thousands of LGBT citizens call Oklahoma "home." Connie will fight to support all hardworking Oklahomans, making sure no employer can fire employees and no landlord can deny housing on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The City of OKC and several local municipalities offer employment protection for LGBT employees, as do many universities, private employers, and businesses. But work still remains when it comes to non-discrimination laws.
