Resilience is woven deeply into the fabric of Oklahoma. Throw us an obstacle, and we grow stronger.

There is too much at stake for us to surrender to the politics of polarization.

Oklahomans value our children and our seniors. Oklahomans value traditions of faith. Oklahomans value our heroes, our veterans. Oklahomans value innovation and the creative arts.

What unites Oklahomans today is what has always united us: Our unshakable faith. Our love of family and compassion for others. The unlimited promise of a hopeful future.

It is a paradox that far too few Americans participate in the wonderful ritual of democracy that we call Election Day.
