Thought I'd take the opportunity of Oklahoma's attacks on public education getting national headlines to do a #thread on their GOP state superintendent of schools, Ryan Walters. Because hooooo boy the sledgehammer to the separation of church and state is just the beginning. (1/x) 
Walters took office earlier this year as superintendent, after serving as Secretary of Education under Governor Kevin Stitt (also GOP). He briefly held both roles, and while secretary was ALSO on the payroll of a non-profit funded by school privatizers. readfrontier.org/stories/billio…
Walters also secured the no-bid contract with the company that distributed grants to families from federal coronavirus aid... $$$ intended for educational supplies, some of which got spent on TVs and gaming consoles due to lack of safeguards. Whoops. readfrontier.org/stories/stitt-…

Candidate Spotlight! We are proud to be standing with @StephanieBice in #OK05! Her #prolife, #prowoman leadership is exactly what we need in Congress.

As an Oklahoma State Senator, @StephanieBice fought for the unborn. In Congress, she’ll do it again! A vote for Stephanie Bice is a vote for:
✅Ending infanticide
✅Ending late-term abortions
✅Keeping taxpayer $$$ out of abortions
✅Ending infanticide
✅Ending late-term abortions
✅Keeping taxpayer $$$ out of abortions
Her opponent is Rep. Horn, who has tagged along with Pelosi’s radical agenda of abortion on demand every step of the way. She clearly doesn’t share the #profamily values of Oklahoma. It’s time for a #prolife leader like @StephanieBice to represent #OK05 instead!
Last night was honored to speak at @OkDemocrats 22nd Carl Albert Dinner. Great to see my colleague @HornForCongress and meet w/@collegedemsok & Young Dems of OK. #okpol #nmpol
I’m heartened from the activism and energy I see, not only in the House, but in NM, OK, & across the country. I have come to know so many committed & dedicated new & veteran members of Congress who are on Capitol Hill, because they want to do the right thing for their districts.
We must keep marching, keep volunteering, keep resisting, keep loving one another. We must work hard to ensure that we have the leadership we need in 2020 that will move our country forward, put people first, and stand together for justice and equality.
the OK House of Reps Judiciary Committee will hear #sb614 on Tues. 3/26/19, this bill would force physicians to falsely inform their patients it is possible to “reverse” a medication abortion. #okleg #okpol #nosb614
Today we will tell you why this is a dangerous and unnecessary bill and how medication abortion works.
There is absolutely no credible, medically accepted evidence indicating that a medication abortion can be “reversed.” It’s unacceptable to mandate lying to those seeking reproductive healthcare.
This is the scene at @RepKendraHorn’s first town hall of her career, in northwest Oklahoma City. There are about 100 people here. I’ll tweet at times over the next couple of hours. #okpol
“We’ve been in sort of a unique time," Horn says of her first three weeks. The crowd laughs. “That’s sort of an understatement, right?”
"We should never be using our federal employees as pawns in any disagreement," she says, her first clap line of the day. #okpol

“I think we have to put everything on the table and we have to listen to the experts” on securing the border, Horn says. A "combination” of tactics are needed.
She touts legislation she co-sponsored with Reps. Mullin and Cole, both Republicans, to fund Indian Health Service.
