“Under the leadership of Speaker Charles McCall, Oklahoma introduced and passed critical legislation protecting life, elections and girls sports,” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp. “The combination of the strong leadership in both the House and Senate, and the wise decisions of Governor Stitt helped Oklahoma move up in CPAC’s ratings of conservative states.”

The bills featured in CPAC’s 2022 Ratings of Oklahoma address Second Amendment rights, protecting the unborn, safety in women’s sports, and school choice. These issues, coupled with our mission to protect life, liberty, property and uphold the American family, created the basis by which the CPAC Foundation rated the Oklahoma legislature.
