Recenlty, a group of Oklahoma House Republicans sent a letter on Tuesday to the members of the Oklahoma congressional delegation urging them to challenge the certification of the Electoral College votes on Jan. 6th, 2021. 

 

Appearing on COMMUNITY CONNECTION, State Representative Wendi Stearman of Collinsville said she joined 23 other lawmakers to contend that election law changes and violations in swing state disenfranchised the votes cast by Oklahomans. 

 

Stearman says, "It's time we take a stand for integrity."

 

Another big item for Stearman is the redistricting process. By law, the State Legislature must redraw its legislative and congressional district boundaries to reflect changes in population every ten years immediately following the Census. 

 

The Oklahoma House of Representatives Redistricting Committee and its eight regional subcommittees will hold a series of town halls throughout the state in December and January to encourage public input in the redistricting process. 

 

State Representative Wendi Stearman tell us the meetings are open to anyone who would like to attend and she says the lawmakers really need your feedback.

 

You can stream the meeting at https://okhouse.gov/Video/Default.aspx and a recording of the meeting will be made available on the House website following the meeting.

 

State Rep. Jim Olsen is chair of the Northeast Oklahoma Subcommittee and Cornwell serves as vice chair. Other members of the Northeast Oklahoma Subcommittee include:

 

State Rep. Steve Bashore, R-Miami

State Rep. Bob Ed Culver, R-Tahlequah

State Rep. Scott Fetgatter, R-Okmulgee
