McCortney’s Senate Review

This week, we reached the deadline to hear bills in their house of origin. After many hours of debate, questioning, and consideration, we passed a few hundred Senate bills out of our chamber that will now move to the House for further review. We’ll be working through their proposed legislation in Senate committees in the coming weeks. 03/20/2024 11:00 PM

Debunking President Biden’s False State of the Union Claims

Last week, President Biden gave his third annual State of the Union address. However, unfortunately, instead of using this opportunity to unite our nation, President Biden gave a caustic and divisive speech, in which he utilized false claims in an attempt to persuade the American people into believing America is stronger today than it was three years ago. 03/13/2024 04:00 AM

We’ve officially wrapped up the first month of the legislative session. The past week was focused heavily on committee work as we reached our first deadline of the year. With the next deadline in mid-March, we still have plenty of work ahead as we’ll spend the next two weeks considering bills on the Senate floor. Those that pass will be sent across the rotunda to start the process over as they’re considered by House Committees. 03/06/2024 11:00 PM

Bridging the Digital Divide: A Journey To Sulphur, Oklahoma

Bridging the Digital Divide: A Journey To Sulphur, Oklahoma

Growing up in the bustling suburbs outside of Washington, D.C., accessing the internet was something I took for granted. I lived through the evolution of scratchy dial-up internet to today’s lightning-fast fiber broadband. I never thought about internet access or access in other parts of the country. It wasn’t until I embarked on my journey at USTelecom a year and a half ago that I began to learn about the challenges of deploying broadband in rural communities. 03/06/2024 11:00 PM

McCortney’s Senate Review

Education is a top legislative priority year after year, and a consistent topic of discussion at the State Capitol. It’s always a pleasure to welcome some of our state’s finest educational institutions to the Senate and my office. On Higher Education Day, we welcomed students and staff from East Central University and had the opportunity to hear about their continued efforts to improve higher education and workforce development in our state. ECU is truly an asset to our community, and it was a pleasure to visit with them. 02/21/2024 04:00 AM
