Former Oklahoma Representative Jason Murphy, who served from 2006 to 2018, advocates for an "abstinence pledge" for legislators to refuse lobbyist money. He argues that this pledge helps lawmakers remain independent and accountable to their constituents, rather than special interests. Murphy believes that abstaining from lobbyist money leads to more principled decision-making and aligns with grassroots conservative values.

A grassroots movement in Oklahoma is gaining momentum, encouraging lawmakers to reject special interest money and prioritize their constituents' interests. This approach, which emphasizes transparency and accountability, is being adopted by a growing number of candidates, challenging the notion that money is essential for political success. By rejecting special interest money, candidates are building trust with their constituents and demonstrating their commitment to integrity and public service.

Jason Murphey discusses the importance of transparency in politics, emphasizing that voters want to know their representatives are not influenced by big money. He highlights the "People's Audit," a tool he created to rank legislators based on their votes, particularly those that increase government power and spending. Murphey believes this audit will help voters identify legislators who are not aligned with their conservative values, despite potential misleading campaign messaging.
