Oklahoma Launches Freedom Caucus

Oklahoma's Legislature has launched the state's first Freedom Caucus, making it the 12th state to join the State Freedom Caucus Network (SFCN), which aims to push conservative legislative priorities. Led by Sen. Shane Jett as chairman, the caucus includes other prominent Republican lawmakers like Sen. Dusty Deevers and Rep. Jim Olsen. The group focuses on reducing government size, eliminating personal income tax, and upholding traditional values rooted in biblical principles. Members are cautious about disclosing full membership due to potential punitive measures. The caucus aligns with the goals of the national House Freedom Caucus, advocating for stronger conservative policies and reducing 'wokeism' in governance.
