GOVERNOR STITT DECLARES NOVEMBER AS FAMILY MONTH, LAUNCHES MONTH-LONG PRO-FAMILY CAMPAIGN

 

OKLAHOMA CITY (October 31, 2023) - Governor Kevin Stitt held a ceremonial proclamation signing today to declare the month of November as Family Month in the State of Oklahoma. The launch dedicates November to celebrating families, fostering unbreakable bonds, and championing core family values through social media, strategic partnerships, and community engagement.

 

"Families are the very foundation upon which we build our lives," said Governor Stitt. "For Family Month, we recognize that families shape our values, nurture our dreams, and stand by us through thick and thin. As Governor, I am committed to uplifting Oklahoma families, and I believe that in doing so, we will see a positive shift in the direction of our state, and by extension, our nation."

 

For Family Month, the Department of Tourism is offering free admission and waived parking fees at select state parks during the weekend before and after the Thanksgiving holiday to encourage families to travel together during November. Oklahoma families can make memories at 6 participating parks: Thunderbird Park, Forrest Mountain, Robbers Cave, Lake Murray, Lake Wister, and Sequoyah State Park.

Wes Nofire comments on reported overturning of Roe v. Wade by SCOTUS

Park Hill (May 3rd) - Candidate for Oklahoma's Second Congressional District, Cherokee Councilor Wes Nofire, prepares to file legislation protecting life within the Cherokee reservation after reports of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade:

"I am thankful this morning for the work of so many people who have spent their lives fighting as the voice of those that were never allowed to take a breath. I pray the reports are accurate and our nation is overturning the landmark case of Roe v Wade. Roe v Wade was not only the case that led to the death of so many unborn children; it also stripped away States' rights in America. I am proud to say I have every confidence that Oklahoma will do the work necessary to be abortion-free.
