RGreat to be back in Garfield County meeting with local business leaders and seeing American manufacturing in action. I had the opportunity to tour a steel mill that brought an old manufacturing building back to life, producing America-made pipe that was once imported overseas, right here in Oklahoma. We must continue to rebuild our domestic manufacturing capabilities, and I’ll keep fighting for the hardworking folks who are driving the industry forward.
Three years ago, on October 7, Hamas terrorists launched a brutal attack on Israel, torturing and murdering 1,200 innocent civilians and taking hundreds more hostage. Today, we remember every life stolen, pray for the victims and their families, and reaffirm our commitment to stand against antisemitism and ensure the horrors that occurred on October 7th never happen again.
I fought for historic tax savings for Oklahomans in the House, and I’ll continue that fight in the Senate to protect your paycheck from Washington and ensure you keep more of what you earn. Lower taxes put more of your hard-earned dollars where they belong: back in your pocket. https://t.co/YW6VIBAyqA
Thank you to the team at Groendyke for showing me around their Tulsa terminal and for a productive discussion about the challenges facing the trucking industry. Trucking is the backbone of our supply chain, and Groendyke’s strong commitment to safety helps keep their drivers and everyone on Oklahoma’s roads protected while keeping our economy moving.
Tammy and I spent our Saturday at the Tulsa State Fair visiting with folks from across Oklahoma. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello and show your support. Hearing directly from Oklahomans is the best part of this job, and I’ll keep fighting for you in the U.S. Senate.
Under President Trump’s leadership, American manufacturing is back! Today we recognize the hardworking men and women who innovate and build right here in America. Thank you for all you do to power our economy and keep our nation strong. Happy National Manufacturing Day! https://t.co/tiN5cuqNIs
What an honor to be back in Southeast Oklahoma welcoming President Trump to Durant. It’s crucial we keep the House and the Senate to continue fighting for the American First Agenda and Oklahoma families statewide. Thank you to everyone who came out. https://t.co/dzwkRTjfz2
Thank you, President Trump! Oklahomans support our president and back the America First Agenda, and I look forward to continuing the fight for them in the U.S. Senate. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/DBDHLZWKGk
Glad to welcome President Trump to Durant on October 1st. He won all 77 Oklahoma counties three times, and I'm proud to fight alongside him to secure our borders, strengthen our economy, and restore the American Dream. I’ll see you there. https://t.co/1gjD1p2hFv
Today, on National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor the servicemembers who were held as prisoners of war and remember those who remain missing in action. They will never be forgotten. https://t.co/llDPCZyplj
Happy birthday to the United States Air Force! For 79 years, our Airmen have owned the skies and defended our freedoms around the world. To all the brave me and women who have worn the uniform, thank you for your service and sacrifice.
This morning I gave what was likely my final speech on the floor of the House of Representatives. It’s been an incredible honor to represent the people of Oklahoma’s First District over the past eight years, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside so many members and staff who have helped shape my time in Congress. To everyone across OK-01, thank you for placing your trust in me to represent you in the People’s House.
25 years ago today, the world was forever changed when terrorists attacked the United States and took nearly 3,000 innocent lives. It was an act meant to strike fear into our nation and showed the very worst of humanity, but in the face of unimaginable tragedy, the light of America shone bright. First responders ran towards danger to save others and healthcare workers worked tirelessly to care for the injured. Across the country, Americans came together and supported each other during one of our nation’s darkest days. Today, we remember those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and their loved ones who continue to carry that loss. Their memory and the sacrifices made that day remain with us still. We will never forget.
One year ago today, Charlie Kirk was murdered for speaking openly about his beliefs. Charlie was a father, a patriot, and a man of God who believed in engaging others through respectful conversation and debate. He inspired many and played an important role in bringing young Americans to the conservative movement. Political violence stands in stark contrast to the values Charlie championed. Even in disagreement, we must continue to engage with others with respect and in good faith. Today my prayers are with Charlie’s family and loved ones as we remember his legacy and carry forward the principles he dedicated his life to.

Thank you to the University of Oklahoma-Tulsa for hosting me to tour the site of the new OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center facility. I enjoyed learning more about this important project and how it will expand access to advanced cancer care for northeast Oklahoma. https://t.co/DZHSNtxXTQ
I had a great visit to Southwestern Wire Inc. in Sand Springs, where I saw firsthand how they manufacture steel wire used across the United States. I enjoyed learning more about their operations and the important role they play in our manufacturing industry. https://t.co/Yyij3Tcj8S

Today marks a solemn fifth anniversary since 13 American heroes were tragically killed at Abbey Gate while trying to help evacuate US personnel during the withdrawal from Afghanistan. We will never forget their service and sacrifice to our country. Tammy and I are keeping the families of the fallen in our prayers today as we honor their memory.
Congratulations to Mike Mazzei on winning the Republican nomination for Oklahoma Governor. Both Mike and Gentner ran strong campaigns. I know the time, energy, and sacrifice it takes to get out to every corner of Oklahoma, meet with voters, and discuss the issues that matter most to them. Now it’s time for Republicans across Oklahoma to come together. The radical left wing of the Democratic Party is more determined than ever to advance destructive socialist policies, and Republicans must stand united and fight for the freedoms and principles that make our state and country strong. I look forward to supporting Mike as we work together to defend conservative values and keep Oklahoma red.
Thank you to the Owasso Chamber of Commerce for hosting me at the State of the U.S. Address. Grassroots entrepreneurship and innovation are the backbone of our economy. I’m grateful for the chance to hear from local business leaders and learn more about the ideas driving our community forward.

This month I visited the Tulsa Petroleum Equipment Institute. It was great to learn more about the important work they are doing to support Oklahoma’s energy industry and the hardworking people who keep it moving forward. https://t.co/QqzSkTGi9P
I had the opportunity to tour the CARES Club in Tulsa. This club is professionally designed to encourage neurodivergent adults to create community and increase their independence. It was inspiring to see the impact they are making. https://t.co/CoX6ZzpbEU
My wife Tammy and I had the pleasure of speaking to students in the Summer Leadership Series across Oklahoma, and sharing our story with such an engaged group of leaders was a real honor. We must invest in our young leaders because they are the future of America. https://t.co/BuebN9Rntm
