Aaron’s Conservative Priorities
Economic Growth Agenda
I believe in pro-business policies that create opportunities for Oklahomans to succeed. Lowering taxes and reducing unnecessary government spending will allow families and entrepreneurs to keep more of what they earn and reinvest in their businesses and communities. I will fight to remove bureaucratic red tape that stifles economic growth and job creation. A strong economy benefits everyone, and I will always support policies that attract new businesses, empower small business owners, and ensure Oklahoma remains a top destination for economic development.
Protecting Small Businesses
Oklahoma prides itself on being a pro-business state, but too often, financial aid intended for small businesses ends up benefiting large corporate conglomerates instead. Loopholes and overly complex application processes can make it nearly impossible for small business owners—many of whom are already working 60-80 hours a week—to access the resources meant for them. We need to ensure that incentives are clearly defined, accessible, and streamlined so they truly reach the entrepreneurs they are designed to help. That being said, big business also plays a vital role in our state’s economy. We need competitive incentives for both large and small businesses, but just like any responsible budget, we must ensure that funds are allocated appropriately and serve their intended purpose. Smart, strategic incentives will help foster long-term economic growth, ensuring that both small and large businesses can thrive in Oklahoma.
Fixing the Childcare Crisis
Childcare is one of the most regulated private industries in the country, making it difficult for providers to operate profitably. While regulations are necessary to protect children, excessive restrictions from DHS have led to underpaid workers, high costs for families, and limited availability. Recent funding cuts have only worsened the problem, leaving two-thirds of Oklahoma—including Owasso and Tulsa—in a childcare desert, where three children compete for every available spot. This shortage forces many parents out of the workforce, creating hiring challenges for businesses. While smart investments in childcare could boost Oklahoma’s economy by over $1.2 billion, there are also no-cost solutions within DHS that would allow providers to expand, improve wages, and serve more families—while saving the state money. Childcare isn’t just a family issue; it’s an economic one. By cutting red tape and implementing common-sense reforms, we can make childcare more accessible, increase our state's workforce, and help Oklahoma's economy thrive.
Eliminate the State Income Tax
Phasing out Oklahoma’s state income tax will keep more money in the hands of hardworking families, attract businesses, and fuel economic growth. States like Florida have thrived without an income tax, proving that smart fiscal policy leads to prosperity. This transition won’t happen overnight, but with responsible budgeting and strategic economic policies, we can reduce reliance on income tax while maintaining essential services. Lowering and eventually eliminating the state income tax will empower individuals, grow local economies, and keep Oklahoma competitive. Now is the time for bold action to secure a stronger economic future.
Pro-Life & Family Values
As a Christian, I am a firm believer that every life is created by God. I will work to protect the unborn. Oklahoma should continue leading the nation in pro-life legislation, ensuring that the most vulnerable among us are defended. Additionally, I believe in the importance of traditional family values and policies that strengthen the foundation of our communities. Strong families lead to strong communities, and I will support efforts that promote faith-based initiatives, parental involvement, and policies that make it easier for families to thrive.
Police, First Responders, & Veterans
I served as an EMT for several years, so I stand with our first responders, police officers, and military members. I believe that they deserve our full support. I will stand with law enforcement and ensure they have the resources and protection they need to keep our communities safe. I oppose any efforts to defund or weaken our police forces and will support policies that increase crime prevention, public safety, and emergency response. A strong defense—both at home and abroad—is critical to maintaining peace and security. We must prioritize law and order in our communities and never allow criminals to have the upper hand.
Second Amendment
The right to bear arms is a fundamental freedom that protects all of our other rights. Law-abiding citizens should never have to worry about government overreach when it comes to defending themselves, their families, and their property. When it comes to firearms, many of our laws are restrictive to law-abiding citizens and have little effect on those who would use a firearm for criminal activity. I am a big advocate for education on responsible gun ownership and heavier penalties for those who use guns in an illegal manner.
Borders & Immigration
Our immigration system needs reform. The federal government has made naturalization a long and costly process while simultaneously handing out benefits to those who cross illegally. This strains public resources, threatens national security, and undercuts our laws and our community. Oklahoma must do its part to push back against illegal immigration while simulations working to reform immigration laws. That means working with law enforcement to remove criminals who enter illegally and working to reform our immigration system so that those who would want to enter our country legally may do so without the burden of excessive bureaucracy and astronomical cost. We are a nation of laws, and those laws must be enforced but must also be fair. By securing our border and restoring integrity to our immigration system, we can protect our communities and put an end to policies that reward lawlessness.
Parental Rights in Education
Parents should have the ultimate say in their children’s education—not bureaucrats or activists pushing political agendas. I will support policies that protect parental rights, ensure transparency in schools, and expand school choice so that every child has access to a quality education. I will work to remove harmful curriculums that seek to divide rather than educate. Every child deserves a solid foundation in reading, writing, math, and history—not political indoctrination.
Election Integrity
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, and we must do everything we can to protect them. I will work to ensure that every vote is counted while preventing fraud and abuse in our election system. That means cleaning up outdated voter rolls and implementing stronger security measures to safeguard against tampering. Oklahomans must have full confidence in their elections, and I will fight to ensure trust in the process by making sure our voting laws are fair, strong, and enforceable.
Energy Economy
Oklahoma is rich in natural resources, and we must ensure that our energy policies support growth rather than restrict it. I will not support harsh environmental policies that hurt jobs and make it harder for Oklahoma to develop its own energy industry. Our oil, gas, and coal industries provide thousands of jobs and contribute significantly to our economy. New forms of energy such as wind and solar are also important. We need an all-of-the-above energy approach that encourages innovation new technology for all types of energy while keeping prices low for consumers. Energy independence is vital for our nation and I will work to keep Oklahoma a leader in energy production.
Limited Government
Government should serve the people, not control them. I will always fight against government overreach and excessive regulations that infringe upon our freedoms. Whether it’s defending religious liberty, protecting free speech, or ensuring that businesses can operate without unnecessary interference, I believe in a limited government that allows individuals to make their own decisions. Personal responsibility and self-reliance are key to a thriving society, and I will always work to keep the government out of areas where it doesn’t belong.
My Faith & Conservative Values
My Christian faith is the foundation of my life and will guide every decision I make as your State Senator. I believe strong communities are built on conservative values, faith, family, and personal responsibility, and I will always stand for religious freedom, parental rights, and a culture of life. I'll work to strengthen families, protect religious liberty, and ensure our children receive an education rooted in truth and excellence. Oklahoma thrives when we uphold traditional values that foster strong communities, self-ownership, and respect for one another. My faith teaches me to lead with integrity and serve others. As your State Senator, I will stand firm in my convictions and work tirelessly to protect the values that define our great state.
