State of Oklahoma secondary Archives: on Government Reform


Jake Merrick: We need paper ballots, voter ID, and full audits

We need paper ballots, voter ID, and full audits. Period. No machines, no mail-in ballots without strict verification, and severe penalties for anyone caught cheating. Your vote should count--and only count once.

Jake Merrick: I believe in throttling back regulation and lowering taxes

Economic growth is inevitable where the free market is prioritized and protected. I believe in limited government which means throttling back regulation and lowering taxes. As governor, I will prioritize Oklahoma businesses - big and small - and work to protect them from government overreach. Let's remove barriers and help Oklahomans expand. When it comes to economic growth, I say get the government out of the way and let the businesses of Oklahoma grow!
