Rural Health Transformation Fund = $50 billion One Big Beautiful Bill Healthcare Cuts = $1 trillion Don’t be fooled by Republicans like Stephanie Bice. They don’t care whether we live or die. They only care about lining the pockets of their ultra-rich donors with our tax dollars.

Stephanie Bice will campaign in Virginia, Maine, and Michigan - but won’t hold a single town hall in her own district in 5+ years. OK-5 deserves a Congresswoman who shows up. Not one who’s always on the run.

I’m so honored to have the support and endorsement of the Oklahoma Education Association and the National Education Association. I understand how critical public education is to our democracy. We can’t have a functional society without an educated populace.

A little heat won’t stop Team Jena! Thanks to everyone who showed up for our Edmond Day of Action this morning. Knocking doors and engaging with voters isn’t just essential to winning, it’s critical to our democracy.

After cuts to Medicaid supported by Stephanie Bice, up to 97 Oklahoma hospitals currently struggling with negative operating margins will see a big hit. More than 45 are at risk of closure, with 18 at immediate risk. Oklahomans deserve quality healthcare in their communities.

ICYMI: Earlier this week, I challenged my opponent to a series of debates about education, healthcare, affordability and data centers. I’m still waiting to hear back. ⏳

Trump and Bice can spend billions on self-aggrandizing monuments, but their cuts to SNAP have left 113,000 hungry Oklahomans without food and those still eligible for support face lines longer than football fields and five-hour hold times. Oklahomans deserve better. #FlipTheFifth

Today, I’m challenging my opponent, Stephanie Bice, to four debates with each focused on a critical issue facing CD-5: education, healthcare, economic affordability and AI data centers.

Yukon is fired up and ready for change! We aren’t going to let Big Tech push these AI Data Centers down our throats to raise our electric bills and use our limited water resources. Thanks to the 150+ folks who showed up to our town hall last night, CD-5 is ready to fight! 💪

1,800 days = 43,200 hours = 2,592,000 minutes. That’s how long it’s been since Stephanie Bice bothered to meet her constituents in-person. My last meet-and-greet was yesterday. CD-5 deserves a Representative who shows up for them.

Political chaos leads to economic instability. We need competent, compassionate people in Congress making decisions that benefit working people, not their corrupt billionaire backers.

I’m listening. I’m showing up. 1️⃣A.I. Data Centers deserve community approval. 2️⃣ Any communication between the big tech firms and local government should be open records. 3️⃣ Water and electricity rates must be kept at current rates regardless of A.I. Data Center utilization.

A hungry child is a child incapable of learning. We know that one in four Oklahoma children are food insecure. That’s why it’s critical that we make school meals free for all kids. On day one in Congress, I’ll file The Great American School Meal Program, to make this happen.

Inflation is the Trump/Bice legacy. ⬆️ Gas ⬆️ Groceries ⬆️ Electricity ⬆️ Heathcare ⬆️ Insurance ⬆️ Education ⬆️ Automobiles ⬆️ Travel ⬆️ Electronics ⬆️ Child Care

My heart absolutely breaks for our service-members injured and for the families of those killed in Iran, but the fact that Trump’s Pentagon is hiding the true scope of the war’s impact makes my blood boil. These brave men and women deserve better. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/u...

Pentagon Withheld Dozens of U.S. Military Injuries in Iran War (Gift Article)

On social media, the Pentagon said later on Monday that the number of U.S. military casualties from Iranian attacks since July 7 had risen to nearly 100.

One year ago today, we launched this campaign and have spent the last 365 days sharing our message of increased health care access, lowering the cost of living, protecting Social Security and saving public resources from AI data centers. In 107 days, we’re going to #FlipTheFifth. 🗳️

Campaign life is serious, but it’s also FUN! We were knocking doors, talking to voters about the issues that matter in Chandler, Meeker and Edmond today. Did today also include a lunch stop at Pops and a game of hop scotch? Of course!

The new playbook from DC Stephanie and her buddy Trump seems to be this: If you can’t win honestly, cheat and lie to keep power. These wild conspiracy theories are pathetic attempts to con the American people. We won’t stand for it.
