Kevan Gentry's Policy Positions
Kevan Gentry's campaign is built on a foundation of core conservative values. His policy positions reflect a commitment to the community's needs and aspirations.
Education:
I believe education should focus on academic excellence, parental involvement, and local control. Our schools must prioritize reading, math, science, and civics while equipping students with practical skills for college, career tech, the workforce, and life. I will support policies that ensure every tax dollar is spent wisely to deliver real results for Oklahoma students and families.
Cost of Living:
As your State Representative, I will focus on bringing down the cost of everyday living. I will propose legislation to regulate data centers that are consuming an ever-increasing share of our electrical capacity, and I will stand up to the insurance industry, which keeps homeowners' insurance rates among the highest in the nation.
Jobs:
I will work to support our small businesses, which are the backbone of our economy. Regulations should be streamlined and serve to protect the public – not stifle competition. I believe that any changes to our tax code should benefit all businesses, not just those represented by powerful lobbyists and insiders.
Healthcare:
The cost of health care continues to rise every year, whether it is health insurance premiums or prescription medication. I will work with my colleagues to pass legislation to support our hospitals and physicians, rein in costs by eliminating senseless regulations, and review costly mandates that drive up health insurance premiums for individuals and small businesses.
Taxes:
As a Republican, I strongly support responsible tax policy that lets hardworking families keep more of what they earn while ensuring we live within our means as a state. Eliminating the state tax on groceries was one example of how the legislature provided meaningful tax relief without jeopardizing essential services. Oklahomans deserve a government that respects their money and manages it wisely.
Second Amendment:
As a proud member of the NRA, I will fight any efforts to curb or infringe on our constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
Pro-Life:
I am unequivocally pro-life – from conception to natural death. I will support legislation to protect the unborn and provide dignity to our citizens at the end of their lives.
Government Transparency:
I will support legislation that enhances transparency and efficiency within our state agencies. Our state's budget has grown by billions of dollars with little oversight. I will fight fraud and corruption in our programs, ensuring each taxpayer dollar is spent wisely on core services.
