Phillip Massad, Austin Reams and Ashtyn Smith are Democrats running for their party's nomination in House District 96 on June 16, 2026.

Big tech companies are coming from out of state to take advantage of our people and our natural resources by building data centers all over Oklahoma.  Our water and power belong to Oklahomans — not out of state tech companies looking to put costs on our backs. AI data centers are pushing up utility rates and stretching our grid thin. On day one, I will issue an executive order putting a moratorium on the building of new data centers in Oklahoma and issue a study so that we can see their true impact on your wallets and our resources.

These are truly the days. 💙 ☔️ ☀️

Breakfast with an incredible group of women, a full day visiting with my HD96 neighbors, and ending the evening fishing with my kids.

June 16 is almost here, and I am so ready but I’ll miss this. I’ve genuinely loved every conversation, every doorstep chat, and every opportunity to meet the people who make this community so special.

I’m incredibly honored that so many of you answered your doors, shared your stories, and collaborated with me on the future of our district. Those conversations have shaped this campaign in ways I never could have imagined. YOU matter. I am here to represent YOU.

If I haven’t knocked on your door yet, I’m trying! Hopefully I’ll catch you (pun intended) before June 16. 🎣🏡💙

I’m present. I’m invested.

As a parent, I understand how scary it can be when your child may have to change schools. Sometimes it works out for the best. Sometimes it doesn’t. Friendships, support systems, routines, and opportunities can all change in an instant.

When parents asked me to attend the Edmond Public Schools Redistricting meeting as Buddy the Buffalo, I showed up and even quickly whipped up a shirt. (Buffalos can’t talk😉)

As Buddy, I love getting to interact with so many students. I probably give more than 100 hugs every time I put on that suit. I want every child to feel loved, valued, and like they belong.

But showing up as Buddy wasn’t just about hugs. It was about letting students and families know someone was in their corner. Someone cared. Someone was willing to stand beside them during the final decision.

Leadership isn’t just about showing up when it’s convenient. It’s about being present when your community needs you.

The little things matter. They’re what make up the big picture. 💙 🦬

🌳🏡❤️Every time I see one of these signs, I’m reminded that this campaign is about YOU.

It’s about our community. Our families. Our future.

It’s about the parents trying to navigate our schools.

It’s about the teachers working harder than ever for our kids.

It’s about the families standing in the grocery store aisle deciding what can stay in the cart and what has to go.

It’s about the neighbors who simply want a representative who listens.

I know these challenges because I’m living them right alongside you. I live here. 🏡 I’m raising my family here. I taught in an Oklahoma classroom. I volunteer in our schools and neighborhoods. I’m not looking in from the outside or just passing through. I am here, fully invested in this community and its future.

My focus is on Oklahoma issues. Our schools. Our families. Our communities. Our future.

Thank you for trusting me with your stories, your concerns, and your support. I’m working hard every day to earn your vote and be a new voice for HD96.

The more doors I knock, the more convinced I am that the people are truly what makes Oklahoma so special. Every conversation reminds me that behind every front door is a story, and it’s been an honor getting to hear what makes you you. 💙 Also, the TREES in HD96 are my favorite. It’s one of the reasons we decided to live in this area.
Summer is officially here! It was a balmy 95° with 70% humidity. 🔥 The heat tried to slow me down today, but I actually thrive in this weather. Give me a hot Oklahoma day, passionate conversations, a neighborhood to walk, and a pool afterwards. I’m right where I’m supposed to be. ☀️

If I haven’t met you yet, send me a DM. I’ll make it a priority to come by. 🚙
