Senate review

It was another productive week at the State Capitol as we heard bills in committee and continued to work on the state budget for Fiscal Year 2026. I’m pleased to report that five of the bills I authored have advanced out of committee. The Agriculture and Wildlife Committee gave approval to Senate Bill 280, which creates the Feral Swine Eradication and Control Grant Program. Under this program, Oklahomans would have access to education, equipment, and services related to controlling and eradicating the feral swine population in the state. I look forward to continuing to work on this program that will help to reduce the risks feral nogs pose to livestock, wildlife, crops, and property.
