Does he understand how the economy works?

The Philbrook lights in Tulsa are even more beautiful than I could have imagined.

Spent yesterday planning (not plotting… promise) session strategy with the Women’s Caucus co-chairs. The setup at the National was chef’s kiss for big ideas and bigger possibilities. Feeling fired up about what we can tackle together for our state. 💪✨

What's on your winter wishlist? I'll start. Equality.

Thank you to all the #sd40 Precinct officers! We had a little gathering this morning to say thank you and to get energized for the campaign work ahead! 😍🎅🎄🍩 #TeamHicks

There’s nothing ‘neutral’ about tech that profits from keeping kids online longer. Oklahoma families deserve transparency, age-appropriate protections, & policies that put children’s wellbeing over ad algorithms. Tech shouldn’t shape our kids’ futures in the dark. #oklahoma

This is a circus.

Every child can learn to read — with the right method. Structured literacy gives them that chance. #oklaed to #okleg

Great weekend on the doors! 🙌 I had so many meaningful conversations with neighbors who care deeply about Oklahoma’s future. Grateful for the support, the stories, and the shared hope. Onward! 💙

Our state cannot ignore tribal sovereignty. Ripping up hunting/fishing compacts and citing tribal hunters is wrong. I’ll fight for respect, treaty rights, and true collaboration. #TribalSovereignty

✨ November is Diabetes Awareness Month — and today, my heart is full. Sawyer and Spencer emceed the OKC Walk for a Cure at Scissortail Park, and together, we helped raise $90,000 for breakthrough T1D research. 💙💪 #T1DStrong #BreakthroughT1D #DiabetesAwarenessMonth

Incredible visit to the Oklahoma School for the Deaf. The students, staff, & campus were so welcoming. After years on Appropriations, it’s powerful to see the real stories behind our investments. Grateful for the chance to learn more & spend time with these amazing kids. #oklaed #ElectATeacher

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt #knockknock #sd40 #teamhicks

The pleas to stop hunger & protect childcare fell on deaf ears. Now that leisure, recreation, & the travel industry overall might be impacted? All hands on deck. Has capitalism made us great yet?

Amazon and Walmart are two of the biggest recipients of SNAP and Medicaid funds because they don't take care of their employees. Families working 40+ hours a week requiring gov subsistence. In Canada they go to food pantries to make ends meet. Corporations are the real "welfare queens" of society

Why reduced??? They have the funds already allocated for the entire amount. #EvilTrumpAdministration

www.politico.com/news/2025/11... JUST IN: Officials will use $4.65 billion from USDA’s contingency fund to support roughly half of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participants’ “current allotments” as the shutdown drags on, according to legal filing.

Convo on the doors today - W: I'm MAGA - you're probably wasting your time. Me: Well, I don't have an opponent, and I'm just trying to connect w the district. Is there anything that you want to discuss today? W: I'm pro-life. 1/

Trick or treat!! @pbs.org @mychal3ts.bsky.social

Wishing everyone a safe, spooky, & fun night filled w sweet treats, creative costumes, & community spirit. Whether you’re trick-or-treating w little ones, passing out candy, or enjoying a fall festival — remember to watch for pedestrians, keep your porch lights on, & look out for one another. 💛🦇🍬

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Best door knocking helper around!! #knockknock #teamhicks

But do go on about tax and spend liberals. 🙄 Bc it seems that "conservatives" cut taxes and leave the debt for someone else to clean up.

That thunder win was almost as stressful as the finals... #letsgo #thunderup

Hard pass, Kevin. #education

When we honor the separation of church and state, we make space for every student to thrive. That’s the Oklahoma I believe in. 🙌 #EducationForAll #oklaed to #okleg #ElectATeacher

5th voter in my Precinct. Polls have been open for an hour...OKC get out and VOTE!

To be an ally is to listen first, honor sovereignty, and work in true partnership with Tribal Nations. It’s daily work—grounded in respect, learning, and shared purpose.

“Both sides need to do better.” Oh boy — both sides? In a state where the GOP runs everything from the Governor’s office to both chambers? Okay. 🙃

Happy Saturday! Interim studies, cold cases, moms in recovery, innovation week, and media calls — all in a week’s work 💪✨ Staying focused on solutions, compassion, and community. #OKLeg #WomenInLeadership #PublicService #OklahomaStrong

Alex Jones built an empire screaming about “free markets” and “freedom from control.” Now he’s begging the Supreme Court to save him from facing the consequences of his own words — and to stop someone else from owning his company. Funny how “freedom” always ends where their control does.

Here goes nothing... go.bsky.app/NyfJ7Ln

Proud mom moment: H, the new class secretary, passed her first proposal yesterday. The soccer fields weren’t fair for everyone—she changed that. Leadership isn’t titles. It’s using power to fix what’s in front of you. ❤️ #senatormom

Folks who claim GOP is about “efficiency” — look at OK. Remember hydroxychloroquine stockpiles? Or the “education accounts” that bought Christmas trees & video games? Swadley’s BBQ? Time & again, public 💲are siphoned off for pet projects instead of serving the public. Call it waste, not efficiency.

Honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Jane Goodall. May we never forget her sage wisdom.

Justice delayed, is justice denied. Join me on Thursday, Oct 2 at 1pm in rm 535 as we shine a light on Oklahoma’s unsolved cases. Cold cases aren’t just numbers—they’re families without closure.

Door knocking in spooky season is the literal best! No tricks, just treats!! ❤️ #knockknock #sd40

Here's the thing. We can all breathe deeper with Supt. Walters' resignation. However, funding education falls to the legislature. We owe so much to our students, and that starts with the most exceptional educators. 🚨🚨🚨

Looking at you, Oklahoma....

Bye bye bye, ry ry!

Grateful to spend my evening with the amazing folks in the S. OKC Democratic Women's club! Oklahoma is Worth the Work! #letsgo

Families belong together — not in fear of ICE raids. Our immigrant neighbors are parents, workers, and community builders. We must stand up for them and demand dignity, compassion, and fair treatment. 💙✊

Grateful to tour Ignite in SD40! 💙 Tackling staffing shortages w/an on-site CNA prog., while still caring for 70–75 people daily. Challenges remain - MCO transitions = tighter budgets, changing reimbursements, & endless paperwork. Inspiring to keep learning from those on the frontlines. 🌟

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

New Mexico, long at the bottom of state rankings for child well-being and educational outcomes, is on the verge of launching a first-in-the-nation free child care and preschool program that would save families an average of $13,000 a year. https://wapo.st/3Irr36F

The OK Supreme Court has paused the new social studies standards. Schools will stick w 2019 standards, as a lawsuit argues the new rules push religion into classrooms & sidestep the law. Our kids deserve facts, not politics—& I’ll keep standing up for OK families & educators. #okleg #education

School pics for the Hickslings this week. C - age 7, S - age 11, H - age 9. These 3 are my why. Along with 700k kiddos and families in OK who choose their local public school. This week has been heavy, devastating, reflective, & in times like these - I have to stop - & reconnect w my why.

My heart aches for the entire Evergreen community. Guns kill children. Guns kill people. Gun control now. The fetishization of the Second Amendment is a sickness. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Yesterday, I joined the 4th graders at Coronado Elementary for Read an Accurate Ag Book Week! 📚🌾 Sponsored by @OKDeptofAg, this program helps kids see how agriculture connects to their everyday lives. 🐾💙 #AgInTheClassroom #ReadAnAccurateAgBook
