Housing Homelessness is not a single issue; it includes veterans, people facing economic hardship, and individuals struggling with addiction or mental health. Those who want a path forward should have access to treatment and support programs that help them rebuild their lives. That is compassion and it’s the right thing to do. Infrastructure / Transportation I support responsible infrastructure, but not when it comes at the expense of homeowners and taxpayers. The way OTA has handled past turnpike proposals shows why Oklahoma does not need two transportation agencies. OTA’s lack of oversight, compared to ODOT, creates confusion and allows eminent domain to be pushed far too easily onto families who have everything to lose. Housing Norman deserves a balanced and realistic approach to homelessness one that helps people who truly want help while also protecting families, businesses, and public safety. Our current system places too much burden on neighborhoods, first responders, and local businesses, while not doing enough to ensure accountability from those who refuse available services. Criminal Justice / Public Safety We must ensure that criminal behavior, open drug use, and repeated disturbances are addressed firmly and consistently. Helping those who want help does not mean tolerating behavior that harms our community. Housing I oppose the use of eminent domain to force families from their homes or take land against the will of property owners. Government should protect individual rights, not override them. Taxes / Budget No matter how anyone feels about the Arena TIF, we all deserve decisions grounded with respect for taxpayer dollars.
