Several of the Tulsa World endorsements state we should vote for someone to retain their legislative experience. The same experience that gave public money to private schools? Or that attacks and denies the right of women to manage their own health care? The same legislative experience that has Oklahoma ranked 49th in education, 36th in crime (even with among the the largest prison population per capita), 49th in health care and a life expectancy that is six years less than the best states? Nope, we do not need this type of legislative experience to continue. Lucky for Tulsa County we have several committed, intelligent, compassionate folks running to provide legislative service to the county and Oklahoma.

If any of these names are on your ballot vote for them: Melissa Provenzano, Susanne Schreiber, Melissa Bryce, Jo Anna Dossett, Cathy Smythe and Sarah Gray. We will all be better for it. People are also reading.
