Introduction

I have been a lobbyist for 31 years, and a legislator for 10 previous to that. 41 years in the state capitol is a lot of knowledge to draw from. I have lobbied for more associations and non profits than anyone in Oklahoma, and I understand the philosophy of every member thinking they are your boss. I believe that is one of my strengths.

Achievements
