It’s that simple. I'm running for Congress in Oklahoma's 1st District to stop MAGA Rep Kevin Hern who is anti-Union and always standing on the side of big business and voting against workers - no matter the issue and no matter if the rights of workers are being violated.
Hern told us he would never be on the side of working families when he twice voted NO to the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act. He defended his NO vote by lashing out at Teachers' Unions and stating his support of Oklahoma’s right-to-work laws.
Hern never mentioned that right-to-work laws undermine the ability of Unions to raise funds and organize. Hern never mentioned that the Bottom 10 States with the lowest personal income per capita includes Oklahoma and that all are right-to-work States except one. Hern never mentioned that the Top 10 States with the highest personal income per capita are all States that do not have right-to-work laws.
This campaign is about moving us forward by getting rid of laws holding us back, like the deceptively named right-to-work law that undermines the right to organize and bargain for better wages. We'll work to ensure the passage of the PRO Act so employers can't delay Union elections through litigation or force employees to attend "captive audience" anti-Union meetings. We'll support the PRO Act provisions that reinstate employees who have been illegally retaliated against and stop employers from permanently replacing striking workers.
If Unions are so bad and right-to-work laws so good, then why is Oklahoma among the Bottom 10 States with the lowest personal income per capita? Why is Oklahoma the 4th Highest State with the most people on food stamps? America's democracy is stronger when America has a strong middle class and the best way to rebuild our middle class is by building back our Unions.
I'm running for Congress because I want Oklahoma moving forward - not at the bottom of every metric that matters. To get there, we need strong Unions. Your donation will be a big step in stopping Oklahoma’s Top MAGA politician, Kevin Hern, from undermining our Unions. Will you donate now?
