The full interview with Rep. Trey Caldwell (R-Lawton) who is running for reelection in Oklahoma House District 63.

This episode of the For the Record podcast features a conversation 7News Digital Manager Justin Allen Rose had with two top Democrats in the Oklahoma Legislature: House Minority Leader Cyndi Munson and

While the conversation started with a discussion over how the two legislators view the current state of Oklahoma, the conversation mainly looked toward the elections quickly approaching later this year.

This conversation took place on April 9, 2024.

For this episode, I sat down with Oklahoma State Senator Carri Hicks (D-40) for a Q and A over a study which was recently released.

That study looked to see which states were the best and worst states for women to live. The study placed Oklahoma on the very last spot on the list for a multitude of reasons that Hicks discusses during the interview.

While this discussion wasn't a joyous one, it was certainly enlightening to hear this study being discussed by a person who has the power to help change many of the things contributing to Oklahoma's ranking within this study.

This interview is one I had with Annie Laurie Gaylor who is the co-president of the Freedom from Religion Foundation, also known as the FFRF.

The FFRF is currently party to a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Nation's first religious public charter school right here in Oklahoma. The non-profit group has been quite active in the sooner state in other ways as well. They recently got a Tulsa Public School to remove Christian displays from several of their classrooms, and another public school district in the state to stop hosting daily prayers during its morning announcements.

During our conversation, we talked about those cases and much more. While this conversation hosts ideas which typically are not in the majority in Southwest Oklahoma, that reality makes this conversation an even more important one to have.

This episode features a conversation I had with Representative Daniel Pae. Daniel is the Representative for Oklahoma's House District 62, which covers a good chunk of Lawton on the westside.

We mainly talked about House Bill 2109 which he authored that is supposed to protect tenants from retaliation from their landlords. We also spoke about his yea vote regarding the parental choice tax credit, as well as whether he'd support term limits for our federal legislature.

This episode features an interview I had with Governor Kevin Stitt.

In the interview we discussed what can be done to better the state’s education system, how his Parental Choice program is going to affect rural schools, and if Stitt has an eye on the White House after he is term limited out of office in 2026.
