Resources for Homeowners Affected by Eminent Domain
Our own Kelly Wilson has put together a valuable resource for anyone facing eminent domain proceedings with the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA). The packet is designed to help property owners better understand the process, know what to expect, and become more informed advocates for themselves and their families.
Be sure to review the packet, and if you have questions, feel free to contact Kelly at kwilson.pikeoffota@gmail.com. You can also watch the podcast, where Kelly personally walks through the document and explains what every landowner should know.
OTA Board Greenlights Another $1.5B in Debt
At the June OTA board meeting, the Board voted to authorize the issuance of another $1.5 BILLION in Series 2026A Revenue Bonds to be “issued at one time or from time to time for the purposes of financing or refinancing capital costs of turnpike projects and improvements to the Oklahoma Turnpike System, refunding certain Oklahoma Turnpike System second senior revenue bonds of the authority, funding capitalized interest and certain reserves with bond proceeds and paying costs of issuance.”
According to Title 90, Section 10 and Title 62, Section 695.3(g) of the Oklahoma Statutes, the OTA is required to submit an application to the Council of Bond Oversight (COBO) for permission to sell revenue bonds.
Aside: The Legislature has made it “optional” to go to the Supreme Court for bond validation in Title 69, Section 1718.
We have been trying to make it mandatory for the past four years by crossing out “is authorized in its discretion to” and inserting “shall.”
Under our proposed amendment, the statute would read:
“The Authority is authorized in its discretion to SHALL file an application with the Supreme Court of Oklahoma for the approval of any bonds to be issued hereunder, and exclusive original jurisdiction is hereby conferred upon the Supreme Court to hear and determine each such application.”
Whether that legal COBO review process is meaningful depends largely on the information provided to COBO and the staff responsible for evaluating bond applications.
The Office of the Oklahoma State Bond Advisor was established in 1987 through the Oklahoma Bond Oversight and Reform Act. In 2003 it became a stand-alone state agency. In 2017, the Oklahoma Legislature passed legislation that abolished the independent State Bond Advisor structure and transferred those functions into the State Treasurer's Office. As a result, the State Bond Advisor would thereafter be appointed by the Treasurer rather than operating as an independent office.
The Deputy Treasurer for Debt Management (currently Alexandra Edwards) performs many of the functions historically carried out by the State Bond Advisor and serves as staff to the Council of Bond Oversight.
This State Bond Advisor coordinates review and approval of bond proposals by the Council of Bond Oversight (COBO). COBO is a 5-member board consisting of one member appointed by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, one member appointed by the House of Representatives, two members appointed by the Governor, and the State Treasurer. They serve four-year terms. The Attorney General provides legal counsel.
If you read through the Powers and Duties of the COBO in Title 62, Sections 695.8 and 695.9v1 and 695.9v2, COBO is directed to determine whether the financing serves a proper public purpose, review compliance with applicable laws and review other relevant matters, including repayment sources and security for the bonds.
In addition, Title 90, Section 10-3-4(a)(3)(I) states that the State Bond Advisor, and staff to the COBO, is required to review the following documents prior to final approval, which include a “(I) Letter from issuer's attorney or bond counsel stating that there is no litigation pending or threatened relating to outstanding or proposed obligations or the issuer's authority to enter into any agreements necessary to complete the proposed transaction.”
Just as litigation helped stop the 2022 bond sale, a lawsuit challenging the legality of the ACCESS program could once again prevent the OTA from obtaining final bond approval until the courts determine whether the project can legally move forward.
Stay tuned.
More Oklahoma Landowners Face OTA Takings
While the bond sale moves forward, the impacts on property owners continue. Another big item on the agenda was a resolution of necessity for the condemnation of certain real property interests along various corridors.
40 properties on the East-West Connector
15 properties on the Turner
Why have Oklahomans become comfortable allowing an unelected board of a public trust or other governmental instrumentality to take private property simply by adopting a “Resolution of Necessity”?
It is astonishing that we have been unable to convince the Legislature to enact a law requiring condemning authorities to go to court and prove necessity before they are granted the extraordinary power to take someone’s home, farm, business, or land.
If eminent domain is going to remain available for purposes beyond true public necessities such as national defense, then at a minimum we should have common-sense safeguards in place. No state agency, public trust, or private entity exercising delegated government power should be allowed to wield eminent domain without meaningful judicial review.
Today, the process is often little more than this: agency staff compile a list of parcel numbers, an unelected board adopts a resolution declaring the taking “necessary,” and suddenly the machinery of eminent domain is set in motion against property owners.
The burden should not be on citizens to prove the government is wrong after the fact. The burden should be on the government to prove necessity before it ever acquires the power to take private property.
That isn’t a radical idea. It’s basic due process and fundamental respect for private property rights.
Keep fighting folks. Don’t let them have your land without putting up a fight.
Research to do before the Primary
The primary election is coming up on Tuesday June 16th.
Here’s a voter guide to link you to all of the candidates so you can do your own research. https://oklahomavoice.com/voter-guides/2026-oklahoma-primary-election/
To get a copy of the ballot that you will be voting with on June 16, go to the Oklahoma voter portal and type in your name and birth date. Make sure you do this because depending on where you live, you are voting on not only state and federal level officials, but also county level positions.
The Republican Primary ballot is a long one, so please look at it and do your research before the 16th. If you want to know whether your Republican state representative stood with the voters or the establishment, check out The Oklahoma State Capital’s 2026 Capitol Conformity Tracker.
There are also several Democratic Primary races to vote in, so please show up to the polls and participate!
As you research candidates’ positions, backgrounds, and records of public service, take the time to review their campaign finance and ethics filings as well. The Oklahoma Ethics Commission’s Guardian system allows voters to see who is funding a candidate’s campaign, including contributions from lobbyists, PACs, and special interest groups. Spend a few minutes watching the podcast for a quick tutorial on how to navigate the system, then visit the Guardian website and look up the candidates for yourself. Transparency matters. Many of the candidates I support refuse lobbyist and PAC money altogether, believing that elected officials should answer to the people they represent—not to special interests.
In addition, everyone gets the chance to vote on SQ832. A substack on SQ832 popped across my feed last week that you may find interesting. I found another opinion piece here.
Beyond SQ832, many important races will appear on the ballot. During the past four years of fighting the turnpike expansion and advocating for government accountability, I have crossed paths with dozens of elected officials, candidates, activists, and public servants. Some I have worked with closely. Others I have observed through legislative hearings, public meetings, conferences, podcasts, and community events.
The following candidates are among those who have impressed me with their character, their willingness to engage with citizens, and their commitment to principled public service. While these observations are based on my own experiences, I encourage everyone to do their own research and reach their own conclusions.
Governor
Jake Merrick: https://jakemerrickforgovernor.com/
One of the most interesting candidates in the governor’s race is former State Senator Jake Merrick. Unlike most statewide candidates, Merrick is running a true grassroots campaign. He has publicly pledged not to accept PAC money or lobbyist money, choosing instead to rely on individual Oklahomans who believe government should answer to citizens rather than special interests.
That approach comes with challenges. In modern politics, it is far easier to build a campaign with the backing of wealthy donors, PACs, lobbyists, and political insiders. Running a people-powered campaign requires something different: conviction, persistence, and a willingness to stand on principle even when it is politically inconvenient.
Jake served in the Oklahoma Senate from 2021 to 2022 before losing a re-election bid to a heavily funded challenger. During and after his time in office, he developed a reputation for speaking openly about the influence of money in politics and the need for elected officials to remain accountable to the people who sent them there.
Every election cycle, voters hear the same argument: don’t vote for the underdog because you’ll be taking votes away from someone else. But that mindset guarantees that the same political class, the same donor networks, and the same special interests continue to dominate our government.
Perhaps the better question is this: What if we voted for the person we genuinely believe will do what they say they will do?
Whether you agree with Jake Merrick on every issue is beside the point. What stands out is that he has built his campaign around a simple proposition—that principles matter, that ethics matter, and that elected officials should be more concerned with keeping their word than keeping their donors happy. His campaign slogan, “Principle Over Politics,” reflects a theme that has been consistent throughout his public life.
In a political environment where voters are constantly told to settle for the “electable” choice, there is something refreshing about a candidate willing to bet that honesty, transparency, and keeping one’s promises still matter. Regardless of the outcome, campaigns like his remind us that meaningful change rarely begins with the establishment—it begins with citizens willing to support leaders whose actions match their words.
And he’s the only candidate that wants to abolish the OTA. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Uoq8Pm3Sj/
Lieutenant Governor
J.J. Humphrey: https://jj4ltgov.com/
I first met J.J. Humphrey in 2022, shortly after the turnpike fight began, and he has been a consistent ally of Oklahoma citizens ever since. Long before eminent domain reform became a popular talking point, J.J. was speaking out about government overreach, private property rights, and the need for greater accountability from public agencies. Throughout the turnpike battle, he has never wavered in his support for the citizens whose homes, farms, and businesses were threatened by government action.
J.J. was also a close friend of our attorney, Stan Ward, and shares Stan’s belief that government exists to serve the people—not the other way around. That principle has guided his public service and explains why citizens across Oklahoma continue to trust him.
What I appreciate most about J.J. is that his word means something. In a political environment where promises are often forgotten after Election Day, he has consistently done what he said he would do, even when it was unpopular with leadership or powerful interests. While other candidates in this race have taken actions that directly harmed the citizens we have fought alongside, J.J. Humphrey has remained firmly on the side of the people.
You may not agree with him on every issue, but you will always know where he stands—and that’s a rare quality in politics today. J.J. is a man of principle, and Oklahoma could use more leaders who put citizens ahead of politics.
State Treasurer
Cindy Byrd: https://www.cindybyrd.com/
I first met Cindy Byrd in 2022 when citizens across Oklahoma were demanding answers about the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority and pushing for an independent audit of its operations. From our very first conversation, it was obvious that Cindy is exceptionally sharp. She understands government, she understands finance, and perhaps most importantly, she understands how power operates behind the scenes.
As State Auditor, she led the first investigative audit of the OTA in its history. While the audit’s scope was limited, conducted at the request of the Attorney General, it nevertheless identified concerns with contracting practices, consultant oversight, documentation, and internal controls, and recommended several reforms to improve transparency and accountability.
What impressed me most was Cindy’s willingness to ask difficult questions and follow the facts wherever they led. She understands that accountability is not about protecting agencies or political interests—it’s about protecting the public.
Now she is running for State Treasurer, a position that includes oversight responsibilities related to Oklahoma’s bond issuance process through the Council of Bond Oversight (COBO). Before 2017, Oklahoma’s bond oversight staff operated independently through the State Bond Advisor’s Office. Today those functions are housed within the Treasurer’s Office, making the Treasurer’s approach to debt oversight more consequential than many voters realize. The Treasurer no longer just safeguards state cash; the office now houses the debt management staff that review financing requests and support COBO's oversight process.
Few candidates are better equipped to understand the complexities of public debt, bond financing, and the importance of ensuring that agencies provide complete and accurate information when seeking approval for major financial commitments.
Throughout the turnpike fight, many citizens have felt that legitimate concerns were ignored or dismissed. Cindy Byrd listened. She took the time to understand the issues, study the details, and engage with the facts. Whether discussing audits, public finance, or government accountability, she brings a level of knowledge and seriousness that is increasingly rare in public life.
At a time when trust in government is low, Oklahoma needs public officials who are willing to ask hard questions, follow the money, and remember that their ultimate responsibility is to the citizens—not the institutions they oversee. Cindy Byrd has demonstrated those qualities throughout her career, and I am hopeful she would bring that same commitment to transparency and accountability to the Treasurer’s office.
Cleveland County Commissioner District 3
Michael Nash: https://nashforclevelandcounty.com/
Dr. Michael Nash founded PIKE OFF OTA and served as its first President before going on to represent Ward 5 as a Council Member. Having been deeply involved in the fight against the ACCESS Oklahoma turnpike expansion from the beginning, he understands firsthand the concerns of property owners, taxpayers, and local communities affected by these projects.
By contrast, incumbent Rusty Grissom voted in Spring 2025 to approve a Resolution of Cooperation that opened the door for OTA projects in Cleveland County before citizens were given an opportunity to publicly weigh in on the decision. Voters will have to decide for themselves whether that reflected the kind of representation they expect from their elected officials.
For those interested in the events leading up to that vote, including communications between the County Commissioners, the OTA, and the City of Norman, additional information can be found here.
HD3
Rick West: https://rickwestfordistrict3.com/
Rick West has a sign on his office door that reads, “I do not accept lobbyist money.” The first time I visited his office in 2022, I didn’t have an appointment. He welcomed me in anyway, sat down to talk, and showed me the binder of legislation he was working through before floor debate.
During that conversation, he told me something that has stuck with me ever since: if he doesn’t understand a bill, or if leadership hasn’t given legislators enough time to read it, he votes no. That’s a philosophy he actually lives by. In fact, he is one of only a handful of legislators who votes no nearly half the time.
For the past three legislative sessions, Rick has agreed to carry a citizen-written bill to protect the rights of landowners whose property abuts turnpike corridors. He sat through countless contentious meetings on our behalf and never wavered in his support. More than once, he warned us that leadership would likely kill the bill—not because it was flawed, but because it strengthened protections for citizens against government overreach. Even knowing the odds, he continued to advocate for the legislation and challenge leadership to do the right thing.
Rick West remains one of the few legislators willing to stand up to leadership when he believes citizens’ rights are at stake. Whether the issue is property rights, government accountability, or legislative transparency, he has consistently demonstrated a willingness to put principle ahead of politics.
HD8
Tom Gann: https://gannforhouse.com/
I’ve always liked Representative Tom Gann. He is a man of principle who takes his responsibilities as a legislator seriously. One of the things that sets him apart is that he reads every bill. In an era of massive omnibus legislation and rushed votes, that shouldn’t be remarkable—but it is.
Tom is also one of the few legislators willing to vote no when he believes a bill is flawed, unnecessary, or has not been adequately vetted. In fact, he votes no more than 50% of the time. He asks thoughtful, probing questions and isn’t afraid to challenge assumptions simply because “that’s how things have always been done.” Throughout the turnpike fight, he met with me on several occasions to discuss private property rights, eminent domain reform, and ways to increase accountability at the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority.
His willingness to challenge House leadership has often come at a political cost, but Tom has remained committed to representing the people who elected him rather than the interests of the Capitol establishment. He consistently puts principle ahead of politics and is willing to stand alone when he believes it is the right thing to do.
That same independent streak led him to develop the "Gann Plan," a proposal to restore legislative self-governance and return the People's House to the people it was intended to serve. He presented the plan at the Liberty Conference in February 2026 and laid out a vision for reducing the concentration of power within legislative leadership and giving rank-and-file legislators a stronger voice in the process.
I agree with Tom that the rules at the Capitol need serious reform. Leadership should not have the power to quietly prevent bills from ever being heard, regardless of their merit. Few legislators are as willing to challenge the internal power structure of the Capitol as Tom Gann, and Oklahoma's citizens are better served when independent voices like his are willing to speak up.
HD11
Wendi Stearman: https://www.stearmanforhouse.vote/
I worked with Wendi Stearman long before the turnpike fight ever landed in my lap. In 2020, she and I participated in a House interim study on medical freedom, and I came away impressed by her willingness to listen to citizens, ask thoughtful questions, and stand up for individual rights. Those qualities are just as important today as they were then.
Wendi has built a reputation for putting principle ahead of politics. She refused lobbyist money while serving in office and has consistently been a strong supporter of rural Oklahoma, private property rights, and limited government. Whether you agree with her on every issue or not, she has demonstrated a willingness to represent her constituents rather than special interests.
After serving one term, Wendi was defeated by John Kane, a heavily funded challenger backed by interests far different from the grassroots citizens who supported her. Since taking office in 2022, Kane has not been an ally of the PIKE OFF OTA community. He has voted with House leadership the overwhelming majority of the time and, in his role on the Appropriations and Budget Committee, helped prevent several of our property rights and accountability bills from receiving a hearing.
I am hopeful that Wendi Stearman will have the opportunity to return to the People’s House. Oklahoma benefits from legislators who are willing to think independently, listen to citizens, and stand firm in their convictions, and Wendi has demonstrated those qualities throughout her public service.
HD20
Jonathan Wilk: https://wilkhd20.com/
I first met Jonathan Wilk last summer as he was finishing up his first year in the People’s House. From the outset, he was firmly opposed to the turnpike project—a position that only strengthened after watching the PIKE OFF OTA documentary. He was eager to explore legislative solutions and frequently discussed ideas for bills that might survive the leadership gauntlet and gain traction at the Capitol.
Although he ultimately did not author legislation focused specifically on private property rights or turnpike accountability, Jonathan remained actively engaged throughout the session. He stayed in regular contact, providing updates on committee maneuvering, legislative developments, and even OTA talking points being distributed to lawmakers. That information allowed us to respond quickly, correct misinformation, and keep citizens informed about what was happening behind the scenes.
Even without carrying a specific OTA bill, Jonathan demonstrated something I value in a legislator: a willingness to stay engaged, ask questions, and keep citizens informed about what was happening inside the Capitol.
HD27
Danny Sterling: https://www.facebook.com/danny.sterling.969
I have worked with Danny Sterling for more than four years and have seen firsthand his commitment to protecting private property rights and holding government accountable. Danny was the legislator who successfully guided our first bill, HB 2263, through the legislative process and into law. That bill reformed the appointment structure of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority Board, replacing a system in which all members were appointed by the Governor with one that distributes appointments among the House, Senate, and Executive Branch.
Since then, Danny has consistently stood with the citizens affected by the turnpike project. After watching the PIKE OFF OTA documentary and hearing directly from impacted landowners, he became an even stronger advocate for reform. Session after session, he has been willing to carry legislation aimed at protecting private property rights, increasing transparency, and improving accountability at the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. Whether or not those bills ultimately advanced, Danny never stopped giving citizens a voice at the Capitol. Danny understands that reform is often incremental, but he has consistently shown up to fight for it.
HD29
Brian Jackson: https://www.brianjacksontakesaction.com/
Not every race features a candidate I have worked with personally. In some districts, my observations are based more on legislative leadership, voting records, and the direction of the institution itself. I have not worked with or personally met Brian Jackson. Nevertheless, he is running against incumbent Kyle Hilbert, the youngest Speaker of the House in Oklahoma history and one of the most influential politicians in the state. While I cannot speak firsthand about Jackson, I can speak to my concerns with the direction of legislative leadership under Speaker Hilbert, which I believe has too often prioritized government and special interests over citizens. You can read more about those concerns and why I believe change is needed here. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DZHgbhHEX/
And subscribe to the Oklahoma State Capital substack. He does an excellent job examining the relationships and power structures that influence Oklahoma politics and explaining why many voters believe change is needed.
HD31
Karmin Grider: https://www.votekarmingrider.com/
I first met Karmin Grider in May 2022 when we were both speaking at a gubernatorial campaign event in Norman. At the time, she was running for office herself, and I was immediately impressed by her energy, preparation, and willingness to challenge the political status quo.
Since then, I have followed her research on Oklahoma politics, government accountability, and judicial elections. What stands out about Karmin is the amount of work she puts into understanding the issues before she speaks about them. She doesn’t rely on talking points or political slogans—she digs into campaign finance reports, voting records, public documents, and the relationships that shape policy decisions behind the scenes.
If you visit her website, you’ll find detailed reports examining campaign contributions and political influence involving elected officials seeking higher office. Whether you agree with all of her conclusions or not, it’s clear that Karmin does her homework and is committed to helping citizens better understand how government really works.
Karmin is running against an incumbent who currently serves as Assistant Floor Leader and votes with House leadership the overwhelming majority of the time. By contrast, Karmin has pledged not to accept lobbyist or PAC money and is building her campaign around transparency, accountability, and citizen engagement.
If you’re looking for a candidate who is willing to ask difficult questions, challenge entrenched interests, and put in the work necessary to understand the issues, Karmin Grider is worth a closer look.
HD32
Jim Shaw: https://www.facebook.com/ShawForOK/
Jim Shaw unseated a well-funded establishment incumbent in 2024, and I have been impressed with him ever since. His opponent spent more than $730,000 trying to hold onto a legislative seat that pays less than $50,000 a year, while consistently carrying water for the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority and working to silence the voices of concerned citizens.
Jim Shaw has taken a very different approach.
He meets with citizens.
He listens to citizens.
He asks thoughtful questions and genuinely seeks to understand different perspectives before making decisions.
After watching the PIKE OFF OTA documentary, Jim immediately wanted to know what he could do to help. He asked whether there were legislative solutions he could pursue to better protect property owners from eminent domain abuse and government overreach. He later launched the Save Oklahoma Plan, which includes a commitment to “End Perpetual Toll Roads & Expose the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority” as one of its core principles.
I have met with Jim several times, and one of the things that stands out most is how accessible he remains to the people he represents. He regularly communicates with constituents through videos, blogs, and direct outreach. Throughout the legislative session, he frequently contacted me with questions about proposed legislation and how it would affect Oklahoma citizens.
Jim is not a go-along-to-get-along politician, and that independence has not always endeared him to legislative leadership. Many of his proposals never receive a hearing, not because they lack merit, but because challenging the status quo often comes with consequences. Whether you agree with him on every issue or not, Jim Shaw has demonstrated a willingness to ask difficult questions, challenge entrenched interests, and put the concerns of his constituents first.
HD36
Jenni White: https://www.jenniwhiteforhd36.com/
I first became familiar with Jenni White about four years ago when a friend introduced me to her Rope Report podcast. That led me to her research on dark money and government influence, and before long I found myself diving into her work and following her efforts to bring greater transparency and accountability to Oklahoma politics. Over the years, I appeared on her podcast several times to discuss the turnpike controversy, and she came to the PIKE OFF OTA Documentary last June. But it wasn’t until the Liberty Conference this past February that I finally got to spend some time with her in person. The conference brought together people from across Oklahoma who share a common belief: government works best when citizens are informed, engaged, and empowered.
Jenni is a force to be reckoned with. She is thoughtful, well-researched, and completely unafraid to challenge prevailing narratives when the facts lead her in a different direction.
Throughout her career, she has consistently stepped forward when she believed Oklahomans were being poorly served by their government. She was a leader in the effort to repeal Common Core, served as Mayor of Luther from 2017 to 2021, and has been a vocal advocate on election integrity issues. Following her public advocacy, she was removed from her position with the Oklahoma County Election Board and is currently pursuing legal action challenging that termination (Federal Case 5:24-cv-00631-J).
Today, she is challenging an establishment incumbent in House District 36. As voters evaluate that race, they should look beyond campaign slogans and examine voting records (he voted yes 98.5% of the time), campaign finance reports, and who is funding each candidate. Those details often reveal far more than mailers and advertisements ever will. Jenni has pledged to take no PAC or lobbyist money - and she’s running her grass-roots campaign from her kitchen table. Check her out!
Whether you agree with her on every issue or not, Jenni White brings something increasingly rare to public life: independence, conviction, and a willingness to challenge powerful interests. She is energetic, persistent, and deeply committed to citizen engagement. Oklahoma could benefit from more elected officials who are willing to ask difficult questions and put the interests of their constituents ahead of political convenience.
HD45
Annie Menz: https://www.facebook.com/alicia.menz
Annie Menz is my State Representative, and from the very beginning of this fight she has been a steadfast advocate for her constituents. She has consistently been willing to author and support legislation aimed at strengthening private property rights, increasing transparency in government, and holding the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority accountable.
Just as importantly, Annie has kept citizens informed. Time and again, she has alerted us to OTA-related developments, legislative maneuvering, and behind-the-scenes activity, giving us the opportunity to respond, educate the public, and engage in the process when it mattered most.
Having a representative like Annie Menz is critical to our mission. Protecting citizens’ rights requires more than good ideas—it requires elected officials who are willing to stand with their constituents and help navigate a system that too often favors powerful interests over ordinary Oklahomans. In the end, it's not about party labels; it's about who is willing to stand up for the people they serve.
SD24
Heather Boss: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558205607667
I first learned about Heather Boss while watching a Rope Report podcast with Jenni White. What immediately stood out was her ability to communicate complex issues in a way that was both clear and relatable. She has a natural talent for connecting policy discussions to the real-world concerns of ordinary Oklahomans.
After that, I began following Heather’s work more closely and was impressed by both her public speaking ability and her long history of community service and ministry. She brings an authentic, servant-leader mindset to public life and understands that leadership is ultimately about helping people, not building political power.
Heather is also one of a growing number of candidates who has chosen to run a truly grassroots campaign. She is not accepting lobbyist money or PAC money, choosing instead to rely on individual supporters who believe government should remain accountable to the people it serves.
If you’re looking for a candidate who combines strong communication skills, a heart for service, and a commitment to independence from special interests, Heather Boss is worth taking the time to learn more about.
The common thread running through all of these issues—from eminent domain to government transparency to campaign finance—is accountability.
Regardless of which candidates earn your vote, I encourage everyone to do their own research, ask hard questions, and participate in the process. The fight for property rights, government accountability, and responsible transportation is far from over, but neither is our determination. Every conversation, every meeting, every vote, and every citizen who chooses to get involved helps move the needle. Thank you for being part of this effort. We hope you'll join us at Royal Bavaria on June 14th, stay informed on the issues, and make your voice heard at the ballot box on June 16th. Together, we are proving that informed and engaged citizens can make a difference.
