Vote For Melissa Elder

My Bio

I want this campaign to be the voice of the people and people want common sense solutions to our most foundational issues; education, healthcare and economy. I want to help build a better Oklahoma by focusing on fully funding public education, making it equitable and accessible to all students from Pre-K to through college. I want to fill these schools with excellent educators who are paid what they're worth and are treated like professionals. We also have to have accessible and affordable healthcare for ALL Oklahomans that includes mental health care. Hospitals and clinics are closing leaving Oklahomans vulnerable and this is unacceptable. For a thriving economy, lawmakers have to put workers first and provide the support they need to do their important work. Working families need paid family leave, affordable child care, and safe working environments. We were never meant to live to work. Right now people are working multiple jobs and just trying to survive. I want to see Oklahomans thriving! I want to represent the needs of my community and create comprehensive strategic policies to give Oklahomans their lives back.
