Dedicated Oklahoman
Involvement in Civic functions is important to
Michael, because he believes it preserves our since of
community and culture. One of the struggles of
development is the ability to maintain our home
town feel and the rural way of life. Michael will fight
to maintain our home-town feel by meeting with local
governments as we develop our economy.
True American
Preserving American Values, and our way of life is
important to Michael. Michael is seen here discussing
the upcoming deployment of his unit in the
Oklahoma National Guard 45th Infantry Brigade with
fellow soldier Ryan Vermillion.
Health care in Oklahoma
For Seniors
We have to do more to embrace our senior citizens;
they have worked hard and contributed much to our
society. Michael knows the hardships a senior citizen
faces. It was tough watching his great-grandmother,
Margie Hodgkinson, struggle when deciding to
purchase her medication or groceries.
For Families
Michael knows we need a better statewide health
plan to help all Oklahoma Citizens receive proper
medication and care at an affordable-reasonable
rate. We will work against the difficulties of acquiring
insurance while providing a reasonable change in
direction from the current system. We need lower
premiums and will design policies which help with the
burden of medical costs while not increasing
premiums.
Product of Public Education
Public Education is what provided the foundation for
Michael and Julie. Without programs like OHLAP,
OTAG, and FAFSA they would not have been able to
continue their education. For that reason Michael will
fight for proper spending of appropriated funds to
better serve both the Students and the Classroom.
A good start for Oklahoma is to keep perfecting
what works and change programs which no longer
work. We also must foster encouragement for good
teachers to stay in Oklahoma. We will develop a
program to recruit good teachers and it will provide
benefits equal to or greater than the national
average.
