Broken Arrow, OK -  May 16th, 2024 | Justin Hornback, a seasoned energy industry veteran with two decades of hands-on experience, formally announces his candidacy for the Oklahoma Corporation Commission in the upcoming 2024 elections.

"His work ethic, tenacity, and passion for the industry are admirable. I affirm Justin's character and capabilities, confident in his leadership and commitment to the industry both nationally and in Oklahoma."

His background includes working directly with regulatory commissions and lawmakers to secure pipeline permits, showcasing his capability to address Oklahoma's regulatory challenges.

Hornback emphasizes the importance of transparency, pledging open and honest communication with the public. He aims to provide access to information, hold public hearings, and actively engage with citizens to build trust and accountability in the Commission's decisions.

He prioritizes open communication, actively listening to public concerns, and considering feedback on energy policies and regulations.

"Together, through open communication, we can work towards a more inclusive and responsive energy regulatory framework that serves the needs of all Oklahomans," says Hornback.
