Issues

Oklahoma is a great state, and its best days are still ahead. But right now, too many families are feeling the pressure. Costs are rising. Communities are changing. And government isn’t keeping up. Oklahomans don’t need more talk or political games. They need results.Gentner Drummond is focused on what matters most: lower costs, safer communities, and a stronger Oklahoma.

He believes in putting Oklahoma first.

Top Priorities

LOWERING THE COST OF LIVING

Relief for Oklahoma Families

For too many Oklahomans, it’s getting harder to get ahead.

Insurance rates are rising.

Property taxes are climbing.

Everyday costs are adding up.

Oklahomans deserve relief and leadership that understands how to deliver it.


The Plan:

  • Hold insurance companies accountable and bring transparency to rate-setting
  • Stop runaway property tax increases that are pricing seniors out of their homes
  • Cut taxes responsibly without sacrificing schools, roads, or public safety
  • Reduce government-driven costs that raise prices on working families
  • Rein in wasteful spending and corporate giveaways that don’t benefit Oklahoma families

The Goal:

Make Oklahoma a place where families can afford to live, work, and build a future.

SAFE COMMUNITIES
& THE RULE OF LAW

Protecting Oklahoma Families

Oklahomans deserve to feel safe in their homes and communities.

As Attorney General, Gentner Drummond didn’t just talk about it. He enforced the law and delivered results.


Proven Results:

  • Shut down illegal marijuana operations tied to cartels

GROWING OKLAHOMA’S ECONOMY

Opportunity, Jobs, and Long-Term Growth

Oklahoma’s economy should work for the people who live and work here — not just special interests.

A strong economy starts with a skilled workforce and real opportunities for Oklahoma families.


The Plan:

  • Make Oklahoma the best place in the nation to do business, especially for Oklahoma-based companies

The Outcome:

More pipefitters, plumbers, welders, electricians, commercial drivers, and skilled professionals ready to work and ready to compete.

FIX RURAL ROADS

Infrastructure That Works

Oklahoma needs infrastructure that supports families, workers, and businesses. It should not be slowed by wasteful spending or unnecessary delays.


The Focus:

  • Improve rural roads that families, farmers, and school buses rely on every day
  • Make dangerous two-lane roads safer across Oklahoma

The Goal:

Better infrastructure, lower costs, and a stronger economy across all 77 counties.

GET EDUCATION BACK ON TRACK

Education: From 50th To First Class

Oklahoma’s ranking—50th in the nation—is unacceptable.

The Plan:

  • Ensure children are ready to learn before kindergarten, supported by access to affordable, quality early childhood care
  • Deliver reading proficiency by 3rd grade and math competency by 4th
  • Expand CareerTech, apprenticeships, and workforce pathways

Expand access to treatment.

Restore order, dignity, and stability in communities across Oklahoma.
