2019 Freedom Index of the Oklahoma Legislature

Dahm & Moore Set The high marks for the two houses of the Oklahoma Legislature.

  In our inaugural publication of legislative commitment to preserving & advancing individual freedom in Oklahoma, This year's 57th Oklahoma Legislature celebrates a very robust year of commitment to constitutional rights.
We look at hundreds of bills to find a good sampling of floor votes which represent a broad spectrum of freedoms and we evaluate how each lawlaker weighed & cast their votes. We also looked at how leaders of committees conducted themselves and the vast power they hold.
  We added bonus points for legislators who took the time to draft and promote bills which are essential to protecting & advancing constitutional liberty.

REID Legislative Scorecard

  Commerce issues are the focus of the REID Index. Several Oklahoma large business concerns  teamed up to create this scoring criteria. The group historically rewards votes that lead to govt. spending which "primes the pump" for economic growth.

  The Annual REID Report can be downloaded from the Institute's website, here.
  The group's leadership is:
