❓WALTERS FOR GOVERNOR?Ryan Walters has yet to officially announce for ANY public office (including his own position as state Supt.). BUT we are getting an idea of how he’d position himself in a race for governor- as the only “MAGA” candidate. #oklahoma

KOKH FOX 25 Ryan Walters We had several questions for Ryan Walters as he left our studio. We still do.

MATERNITY LEAVE FOR OKLAHOMA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES- "paid vacation" and "utopia" were some of the words used on the OK Senate floor today by Shane David Jett and Rob Standridge fighting against paid maternity leave for public employees. Also hear reaction from @hicks4ok 👇 @okcfox #OKleg

A new study finds 75% of the people who work in Edmond can’t afford to live there. Some of the public comments against affordable housing last night left some city council members appalled. KOKH FOX 25

A supplemental grand jury report shows 16 calls between Gov. Kevin Stitt and the husband of convicted drunk driver Sara Polston before her early release. The attorney for victim Micaela Borrego says the new records contradict Stitt’s public statements.

'Very concerned': Oklahoma lawmakers allow new controversial social studies standards to take effect, which call for students to investigate the results of the 2020 election and claims COVID-19 began in a Chinese lab. #oklaed #okleg #oklahoma

Official announcement happening now on FOX news -

OKLAHOMA- Where our medical board is stripped of any doctors and now our board of education no longer has any public k-12 school educators. The new BOE members have something else in common too-Big 💵campaign contributions. @DanSnyderFOX25 KOKH FOX 25

PRIVATE SCHOOL VOUCHER CLAWBACK- Around 1,800 Oklahomans were just notified they must PAY BACK the tax credit, up to $7,500 per child. Is it just first year hiccups for the new program? Or evidence the program lacks accountability and guardrails? #oklaed

Proposed legislation would require Oklahoma minors to prove they’ve passed 8th grade reading proficiency tests before getting a license to drive. #Oklahoma KOKH FOX 25

I can't explain it, but listening to these two Oklahoma lawmakers spar over a bill that would expand black bear hunting season is the energy I need on my feed today. #okleg @okcfox

GUNS IN SCHOOLS - “Guess what. I hadn’t got a Facebook invitation to a gunfight on Main Street.” You’ve got to watch Scott Fetgatter speaking in favor of HB 2139, allowing certain teachers/school staff to carry a gun inside the school. It passed easily. #oklaed #okleg KOKH FOX 25

“He’s easy to pick on…” Governor Stitt defends Superintendent Ryan Walters today, saying his heart is in the right place. #oklaed KOKH FOX 25

While pledging transparency, the state redacted much of a contract involving up to $10 million dollars through 2026. My latest investigation tracking your money, Tuesday at 9pm.

Measles is, unfortunately, so back. OKCPS tells parents if your child didn’t get MMR vaccine, they could be forced to stay home during a measles outbreak- even if you have an exemption on file. KOKH FOX 25 #Oklahoma

“Stand your butt up then.” Just another day in the US Senate. Here’s Markwayne Mullin challenging the Teamsters president to a fight. 👀 KOKH FOX 25

‘LICENSE TO STRIP’ bill moves forward, requiring exotic dancers to be at least 21 and carry a license from the ABLE commission. #Oklahoma #okleg

REMEMBER THIS? Here's a look back at Trump's newly named DHS Secretary, Sen. Markwayne Mullin, in 2023 when he stood up and tried to fight labor leader Sean O'Brien at a senate committee hearing after reading O'Brien's tweet saying he'd take him "any time, any place." @okcfox

More fallout over 'drunk lawmakers' allegation- Day one of Oklahoma's legislative session, and the feud among some Senate republicans is only growing, with one lawmaker reportedly calling members of his own caucus "trans republicans" and "cowards." #OKleg

State Superintendent Ryan Walters helped write and once praised the same Social Studies standards that he now calls 'disgusting.' So what's changed? And why are we allowing out of state influencers to craft Oklahoma kids' educations? More on KOKH FOX 25 at 5:30pm. #oklaed
