Equal Justice. Safer Communities.
Accountability for Everyone.
Criminal justice isn’t just another campaign issue for me.
It’s something I’ve lived.
I am the only candidate for Governor of Oklahoma who has been CLEET-certified, completed Oklahoma law enforcement training, and worked the streets as a law enforcement officer. Throughout my career, I have served as a police officer, county jailer and dispatcher, sheriff’s deputy, detective, firefighter, and EMT.
I’ve investigated crimes, arrested offenders, testified in court, responded to emergencies, worked inside county jails, and sat beside victims on some of the worst days of their lives.
I’ve also witnessed something every Oklahoman should be concerned about.
I’ve seen firsthand how inconsistent investigations, unequal resources, politics, bureaucracy, and corruption can undermine confidence in our criminal justice system. I’ve watched good officers become frustrated by unnecessary bureaucracy. I’ve seen victims feel forgotten. I’ve seen people struggling with mental illness end up in jail because there were no treatment options available. I’ve also seen how difficult it can be for someone who has paid their debt to society to rebuild their life.
Those experiences taught me something important:
Our criminal justice system has many dedicated professionals working within it—but the system itself needs meaningful reform.
Justice should never depend on your political connections, your income, the county where you live, or whether you can afford a better attorney.
Every Oklahoman deserves a justice system that seeks the truth, protects the innocent, holds the guilty accountable, supports victims, respects constitutional rights, and gives people a genuine opportunity to rebuild their lives when they have earned that chance.
That is why I developed the Farmer Servant Criminal Justice Reform Plan.
It is built around one simple principle:
The purpose of our justice system is to protect the innocent, hold the guilty accountable, restore lives whenever possible, and uphold the constitutional rights of every person.
Public safety and individual liberty are not competing values.
A strong justice system protects both.
(The remainder of the Criminal Justice Reform Plan begins with Step 1: Establish Statewide Standards for Criminal Investigations and continues through all 18 reform steps.)
