Oklahoma’s Largest Health & Parental Rights Group Weighs in on Upcoming Senate Pro Tempore Election To Decide The Second Most Powerful Official in the State
For Immediate Release
January 29, 2024
On February 12, 2024 Oklahoma’s Republican Senate members will select a Pro Tempore designate to lead the Senate. We have grave concerns about one of the candidates, Senator Greg McCortney and his cumulative F-rating. How could a Republican get an F-rating on issues of personal freedom? Legislators get graded down for not hearing bills if they are Chairmen, for voting incorrectly, as well as authoring bills that have a negative impact on health and parental rights. Here are some of his actions:
2018-Voted to remove the personal and religious exemptions for school children (SB1123 and SB83).
2020-Authored bill to track vaccine data of children (SB925) & force businesses to advertise vaccines (SB924)
2019-Supported forcing parents to take a re-education class if they opt out of even one single vaccine (Rule by Oklahoma State Department of Health)
2020-Voted No to prevent state government vaccine mandates (HB 2335).
2022-Stopped a bill to allow health workers and those in workforce to have the choice whether or not to take the Covid vaccine OR keep their job. (SB765).
McCortney has consistently proven to be a proponent of big government and favoring big industries over individuals. Ask your Republican State Senator NOT to support Greg McCortney for Senate Pro Tempore designate on February 12, 2024. With our federal government and national security in turmoil, Oklahoma cannot afford to have leaders who will not protect individual rights. As a voter, you have a right to be involved in asking questions about this vote process as you elect your senator to not just vote how they say they will on the campaign trail, but to be part of the solution, as well. We know the solution to many of our problems is simply poor leadership.
So far there are two others running against McCortney: David Bullard who has an A+, and Casey Murdock who has an A rating. I encourage our over 20,000 official members statewide to politely inform your state senator of this record and if your state senator agrees with McCortney then it may be time to assess their record as well.
