The GOP superdupermajority #okleg is fkn abominable.
HAPPENING NOW: The House is considering HB4440, by Speaker Kyle Hilbert, proposing a legislative referendum that if passed would move Medicaid expansion out of the Oklahoma Constitution, passed by voters in 2020. Hilbert has repeatedly argued against expansion. #okleg

I am not sure if he did. I wouldn't put it past him. Because freaks like Dusty Deevers and the rest of the White Christian Nationalist Nutjob Caucus (emphasis on "white") in #okleg just aren't living unless they're subjugating other people for merely living their lives.

Lawton HD64 folks
Rep. Rande Worthen (R) announced he will not seek reelection.
That makes HD64 an open seat.
Open seats are one of the few times voters actually get a reset. No incumbent advantage.
Curious… anyone hearing names for HD64 yet?
