🚨🚨 EXTREME FIVE-ALARM ELECTION ALERT FOR REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTERS WHO SUPPORT PUBLIC SCHOOLS 🚨🚨 This post needs to be shared far and wide.
The 2026 OKGOP State Party Candidate Surveys have been published through iVoterGuide — and they include deeply alarming information about some candidates appearing on your Republican primary ballots across Oklahoma this week.
In the survey, under Section II: Education, Part 43 C, #11, Republican candidates were asked whether they support the following statement:
“We oppose any increased funding for the government schools.”
That should be an extreme red flag for every Republican voter who cares about the future health, stability, and success of their local public schools.
The candidates listed below publicly documented their agreement with a position opposing any future increased funding for public schools.
To be very clear: these are not candidates who simply expressed concerns about waste, accountability, or how education dollars are spent. These are candidates who agreed with a statement opposing any increased funding for public schools. In black and white.
Also important: every race listed below includes other Republican candidates who did NOT choose to agree with this policy position.
Republican primary voters who support public schools need to know this before they vote.
Please read carefully. Vote accordingly. And share this with every public school supporter you know.
Public school families, educators, grandparents, business owners, and community members cannot afford to sit out these primary elections.
“We oppose any increased funding for the government schools.”
