Today, we remember the victims, the survivors, the destruction, and the resilience of the Greenwood Community that followed. The Tulsa Race Massacre is not just history, it is a reminder of why truth, justice, and remembrance matter.

Why are we detaining children?

We need leaders that are going to find solutions to bring immigration reform to cut down on the time and cost of becoming a citizen for asylum seekers. We should not be imprisoning children. This is wrong!

More than 6,300 children under 18 – some as young as two months old, and almost all with no criminal record – have been arrested by federal immigration authorities during President Trump's second term. Nearly half have been detained by ICE at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center outside San ...

Oklahoma is 50th in education. If we want to improve outcomes, we can't keep electing the same people and expect a different result.🍎

🇺🇸John Croisant: The Only Congressional Candidate Making Education His Main Priority

Oklahoma’s education has fallen slowly and steadily into the dark ages. In 2025, Oklahoma’s public school system ranked 50th in the nation. For years, Oklahoma families have watched schools struggle with teacher shortages, poor outcomes and leaders who seem more interested in imaginary culture-war battles than fixing classrooms. Today, our children struggle to read and focus more than ever before. We are in a crisis.

John Croisant has dedicated much of his life to education. For him, education is not a campaign slogan. It is the reason he is running. Born and raised in Tulsa, he attended Jenks Public Schools before studying at the University of Tulsa and becoming a teacher, coach and Tulsa Public Schools board member. He is a man who understands the many intricacies involved with running a system dedicated to educating our youth. He understands the teacher side, student side, administration and even upper management.

John has not learned about teachers’ struggles by someone else’s account. He has lived it himself in the classroom, worked with the students being left behind and seen what teachers are forced to endure.

If Oklahoma has any hope to escape the pits of ignorance religious indoctrination has led to, it needs someone who actually understands how we got there in the first place.

Oklahoma politics has too many candidates who only have a Trump endorsement to show as proof of character. Croisant offers something far more useful: a lifetime dedicated to education.

Despite party affiliation, we must prioritize the future of our youth. Quit voting for the same establishment that placed us at the bottom to begin with. People like Kevin Hern do not care about education. In fact, they want you uneducated. People like Lahmeyer do not promote critical thinking. They want blind fellowship. Please, do Oklahoma a favor and vote Croisant.❤️
