1. Jobs & The Economy
Increase the minimum wage.
Restore the Earned Income Tax Credit.
End predatory lending practices and institute tax equity.

2. Education
Keep public dollars in public schools.
Recruit and retain great teachers for every classroom.
Increase charter oversight.

3. Criminal Justice Reform
End debtors' prisons and create a justice system that focuses on rehabilitation.
Stop dangerous policing practices and end the cash bail system.
Reform mandatory minimum sentences.

4. Healthcare
Create a nurse retention program.
Eliminate Oklahoma's food deserts.
Increase funding for mental health, substance use prevention, and treatment services.

The Oklahoma Democratic Party is making smart, long-term investments to achieve these goals . Signing up for monthly donations of $5, $10, $25, or $50 [[link removed]] is an incredibly helpful way to create long-term budgets and plan for our sustained efforts. Our state party is in great organizational shape, but signing up to become a monthly donor or making a generous one-time donation will ensure we continue to improve our ability to elect more Democrats.

We're working every day to help make sure these policies remain at the forefront of Oklahoma's government. I can't thank you enough for your continued support.

Let's stay focused and get to work!
