People Before Politics

At the heart of the Oklahoma Democratic Party is a simple but powerful belief: the people of Oklahoma deserve a government that works for them. That’s why we lead with the principle of Oklahomans First—a commitment to policies that uplift families, strengthen communities, and create real opportunity for every resident, no matter where they live or who they are.

We believe in:

• Quality public education from early childhood through higher education, because knowledge is power.

• Accessible healthcare, especially in rural areas where services are disappearing.

• Fair wages and workers’ rights, so that no one has to work multiple jobs just to survive.

• Safe, thriving communities built on investment—not neglect.

• Infrastructure and innovation that move us into a more sustainable and connected future.

Putting Oklahomans first means focusing on what unites us, not what divides us. It means pushing back against political games and putting forward real solutions—solutions shaped by everyday people, not special interests.

We believe our state can be the best in the nation—not by leaving people behind, but by lifting everyone up.

Together, we can build an Oklahoma where people come first, progress is possible, and every voice matters.
