Overview of State Question 832

Please welcome Senator Mark Mann and Dave Bond, Vice President for Advocacy with the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs (OCPA).

Senator Mann will discuss the most recent legislative session.

Dave will present an overview of State Question 832 and its potential impact on Oklahoma’s economy, employers, workers, and consumers. The discussion will cover concerns about rising costs, reduced job opportunities, and added pressure on small businesses and agricultural operations across the state.

Since 2011, Dave has advocated at the Oklahoma Capitol on issues of free enterprise, limited government, individual initiative, and personal responsibility. He has been referred to in the Tulsa World as "a prominent Oklahoma anti-tax lobbyist."

Prior to advocacy, Dave worked in Oklahoma elections, including as executive director of the Republican State House Committee, and also with the firm A.H. Strategies and the inaugural campaign of Corporation Commission Jeff Cloud.

Dave is a graduate of Oklahoma State University and a member of the Choctaw Nation. He and his wife Marsha have two sons and live in Oklahoma City.

Our Rotarian of the Day is Jordan Maldanado.
