15 tracked promises
“Put Oklahoma on a "path to zero" personal income tax and sign any tax cut sent to his desk, incrementally lowering the income tax rate with the stated goal of full elimination.”
“Launch DOGE-OK (a state Division of Government Efficiency) and reduce the state workforce so there are fewer state employees at the end of his term than when he took office in 2019.”
“Eliminate the state's 4.5% sales tax on groceries, which he framed as fulfilling a promise and passing the largest single-year tax cut in state history. (He signed HB 1955 into law in February 2024.)”
“Make Oklahoma a "Top 10" state across key metrics (his signature goal, tracked on an official governor's-office metrics dashboard).”
“Send Oklahoma's medical-marijuana legalization back to a vote of the people via a state question, with the aim of repealing it.”
“Change the State Superintendent of Public Instruction from an elected office to one appointed by the governor.”
“Put a state question to voters to freeze property-tax growth statewide.”
“Ask voters, via a state question, to write a 3% annual cap on recurring state spending growth into the Oklahoma Constitution.”
“Create a Taxpayer Endowment Fund, seeded with $750 million of existing state savings, to generate recurring investment revenue.”
“Establish a state savings "floor" of $4 billion so reserves cannot be drawn below that level.”
“Limit fines, fees, and court costs to only what is needed for restitution, reducing what he described as a debtors'-prison system for low-income Oklahomans.”
“Create a dedicated system of business courts to handle commercial disputes, modeled on Delaware and Texas.”
“Hold budgets flat across state government, keeping agency appropriations from growing rather than increasing spending.”
“Spur the creation of 250 new apprenticeship and internship programs in a single year through businesses, schools, and universities.”
“Eliminate virtual (online) instruction days in Oklahoma public schools so students attend in person.”

Disclosure
A separate measure from the promise scorecard above. It tracks confirmed cases where this official has acted on or championed an issue that already existed when they ran, but which they did not disclose as a priority in their campaign. Each case meets a high evidence bar — three independent sources — and the score is shown alongside the Integrity Score, never merged into it. How this is measured.
No undisclosed priorities on record. This is not a clean-audit claim — it means none have been confirmed for this official.
