I am running for Oklahoma State Senate [View all]

My name is Steven Vincent and I am running for Oklahoma State Senate District 45. Due to a technicality, I have been removed from the ballot but I am fighting to get back on. My case is going to the Oklahoma Supreme Court on June 2, and I think I have a good chance of prevailing. This is both exciting and terrifying. My opponent is a right wing republican who has been personally responsible for running the state budget into the ground. This year we face a 1.3 billion dollar deficit because of tax breaks for the wealthy and oil companies and the republican solution is to cut school lunches, fire teachers, close rural hospitals, eliminate the earned income tax credit for the poor, change the state constitution to allow religious symbols at the capitol and to outlaw abortion (I wish I was joking).

I look forward to bringing Oklahomans an alternative to right wing religious politics that have failed our state over and over again and hope they will embrace a logical change but I live in a predominantly republican and extremely gerrymandered district.
