FOR A GREATER OKLAHOMA

LAW & ORDER

In order to have a greater Oklahoma, our neighborhoods and communities must be safe from violent criminals, drugs, human trafficking, open borders and radical domestic terrorists like ANTIFA. Chip believes state government's first priority should be to serve and protect its people. Chip is the only candidate in the race who's worn a badge as a law enforcement officer. As a state trooper for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, he chased down drug dealers, cuffed violent criminals, was shot at and worked the night shift to protect our communities.

Chip Believes We Must:

BACK THE BLUE:
- Chip is the founder of the Oklahoma State Troopers Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing financial support, mental health resources, and education and training for first responders and their families. As governor, Chip will prioritize and make sure our law enforcement agencies have every tool necessary to keep us safe. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is currently short several hundred troopers across the entire state - recruit, train, and deploy a full Highway Patrol will be a priority in his first year in office.
THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM
- It is vital to the safety of Oklahomans that we end cashless and low bail for violent and repeat offenders and require tougher sentencing laws that keep dangerous criminals behind bars.
- He'll also pursue reforms that bring greater consistency and accountability to the courts, ensuring judicial discretion is used to uphold justice, not undermine it.
HOMELESSNESS
- Chip's approach is simple: clean the streets, enforce the law, and expand pathways to recovery. Allowing chaos isn't compassionate to the homeless or working Oklahomans.
- Chip also knows enforcement must be paired with real solutions. Too many Oklahomans battling addiction or mental illness have nowhere to go, and jails have become the default answer. Public spaces belong to the public, and under Chip Keating's leadership, Oklahoma will never surrender them to lawlessness.
FOREIGN LAND OWNERSHIP
- Oklahoma's land is not for sale to our enemies. In recent years, foreign nationals have quietly bought up thousands of acres across our state, often tied to illegal marijuana operations or close to national security installations.
- While Chip's opponents have claimed to put a stop to it, he will get the job done. Chip will order a full audit of foreign land ownership in Oklahoma and expose the shell companies and strawmen being used to hide foreign control.

IMMIGRATION

A steadfast supporter of President Trump's successful immigration policies, Chip believes in sealing the border and partnering with ICE and other federal agencies to secure Oklahoma and America. As governor, Chip will never allow illegal immigrants to have a driver's license, taxpayer benefits, or any sanctuary. In-state tuition in our higher education system for illegal aliens must stop immediately. The very career politicians running for governor had a chance to do something about this and turned their back on hard working Oklahomans who play by the rules.

ACCOUNTABILITY
- As governor, Chip will work to pass legislation that creates an annual Cooperation Scorecard that provides transparency for local citizens to know if their county and/or city sheriffs and police are reporting illegal alien encounters. Families deserve to know who's standing up for public safety and who's looking the other way.

COMBATING MARIJUANA & THE DRUG CRISIS

Marijuana grown in Oklahoma disappears out the back door daily, financing dangerous and deadly drug cartels that exploit our laws, poison our people, and threaten our safety. What began as a medical program has become a criminal pipeline. Under Chip Keating's leadership, Oklahoma will take back control of the marijuana industry to protect farmers, restore law and order, and send a clear message to the cartels: Oklahoma is closed for business.

STATE OF EMERGENCY
- On day one in office, Chip will declare a State of Emergency to unleash the full force of our law enforcement and National Guard to eradicate the criminal cartels and foreign governments meddling in the weed business.
RESTRUCTURE AGENCIES
- Chip will work with the Legislature to place the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority under the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics. We have to end the regulatory chaos and give trained investigators the power and tools to shut down criminal grows for good and give OBN all resources necessary to end this crisis.
OPIOID CRISIS
- Opioids and fentanyl are wreaking havoc across the state, thanks in part to Joe Biden's open border. Oklahoma lost more than 730 loved ones to fentanyl alone in 2023, and nearly 2 people a day are dying from fentanyl overdoses.
- As governor, Chip will crack down on drug traffickers and fentanyl dealers who profit off addiction and death. He'II work to strengthen penalties for those who distribute deadly synthetic drugs and give law enforcement the tools and coordination they need to stop the flow.

PROTECTING OUR WAY OF LIFE

Chip's generation are the sons and daughters of the Oklahoma Standard. As governor, he'll defend our values against radical movements and outside forces that try to divide Americans or tear down our traditions. For Chip, protecting our way of life means preserving what's right: strong families, safe communities, and the unshakable belief that Oklahoma's best days are still ahead.

A PRO-LIFE STATE
- As a proud Christian and father of three, Chip knows children are a precious gift from God. He believes life is sacred, not because the government says so, but because God does.
- Chip believes life begins at conception and that every child deserves the chance to live out their God-given potential. As governor, he'll focus on building a true culture of life, protecting the unborn, expanding adoption opportunities, improving foster care, and ensuring no mother ever feels alone in choosing life.
- Chip also stands with President Trump in supporting access to IVF and fertility treatments for families struggling to conceive. Because valuing life means helping parents bring new life into the world, not standing in their way.
SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS
- Chip Keating is the only candidate in this race who has been issued a firearm by the State of Oklahoma as a law enforcement officer who put his life on the line to protect our communities. He knows firsthand that responsible gun ownership is not the problem, it's part of the solution.
- Chip knows the Constitution means what it says-not what anti-gun activists wish it said. Chip believes in constitutional carry and will ensure Oklahoma remains a 2nd Amendment pillar for gun owners and manufacturers alike.
FIGHTING GENDER IDEOLOGY
- As a father of three, Chip will keep Oklahoma at the forefront of protecting children from radical gender ideology. He's seen how radical ideologies can infiltrate our institutions, and knows it requires vigilance to fight back.
- Chip will strengthen criminal penalties for any doctor or institution that violates the law and cut funding for anyone who promotes or performs these dangerous, experimental, and life-altering procedures.
- As the father of two daughters, Chip believes girls' sports and locker rooms should be protected by ensuring boys are not allowed to infiltrate them.

UNLEASHING OKLAHOMA ENERGY

With a strong, private-sector background in oil and gas, Chip knows Oklahoma and America have an abundance of resources like oil and natural gas to power our country for decades. Chip backs President Trump's American Energy Dominance Agenda because Energy Security is National Security, and Oklahoma should be a leader in reliable, cheap, American-produced energy.

ENERGY, THE OKLAHOMA WAY
- Under Chip's energy plan, no community will ever have a project forced on them. Instead, rural towns and counties should be able to voluntarily bid to host sites with clear safety standards, transparent communication, and major economic incentives. This principle extends to both sides of the Meter, and Behind the Meter. The goal should always be to empower communities that want new jobs, tax revenue, and investment to compete for it. That's the Oklahoma way- through local control.

TAX REFORM

Chip will implement comprehensive reform to Oklahoma's tax system where other candidates only offer band-aid fixes. For too long, career politicians have kicked the can down the road on eliminating our state income tax, refusing to modernize our outdated system and keep up with competing neighboring states. The Oklahoma Tax Commission is still using tax laws written in the 1930s to govern today's economy. We need a do-over. By modernizing our tax code responsibly while eliminating government waste, fraud and abuse, Chip will launch Oklahoma's economy to new heights.

LET OKLAHOMANS KEEP MORE OF THEIR MONEY
- Chip is committed to finding real solutions that let Oklahomans keep more of their hard-earned money while maintaining the quality and reliability of vital services and infrastructure. He'll work with the Legislature and the private sector to build a 21st-century tax structure that rewards productivity, innovation, and ownership.
RECRUIT & RETAIN
- Oklahomans should always come first. As a small independent businessman already invested in our state, Chip knows that strong local businesses help build strong communities. That's why he'll create a tax structure that incentivizes small businesses and companies already operating in Oklahoma. While Chip will work to recruit new job investment to our state, his priority will be focused on the employers already here who have taken risks and made investments so the very best jobs and talent stay right here at home.

EDUCATION

As a proud father and former State Trooper, Chip has seen how education determines a child's path in life. He believes every Oklahoma child deserves to learn the basics: to read, write, and think critically and independently.

BACK TO BASICS
- Chip will restore a phonics-based approach to reading, bring back rigorous third-grade reading tests, and make sure every student is ready before moving up. Because from ages 0-9, you learn to read, and from 10-100, you read to learn.
TEACHER PAY
- Oklahoma can't have great schools without great teachers. As governor, Chip will make it a priority to keep Oklahoma's best teachers in the classroom by ensuring compensation is competitive and fair without burdening taxpayers. He'll work toward a system that rewards excellence and results, not just time served in the classroom.
OUR MONEY IN THE CLASSROOM
- Chip will push for transparency in school spending, so parents and taxpayers can see exactly where their money goes. Education should be about teaching kids to read, write, and think critically. We should send money to the classroom without funding layers of middle management.
PATHWAY TO A PAYCHECK OR DEGREE
- Chip will expand workforce training and vocational programs that connect young Oklahomans to real jobs in energy, construction, agriculture, and technology. He'll strengthen partnerships between schools, technical centers, and local employers so that every high school graduate has a pathway to a paycheck or a degree.

GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY

Oklahomans pay for their government, but customer service needs an overhaul. Chip will always ask the question: Does this give Oklahomans more freedom?

ELIMINATING & CONSOLIDATING BOARDS / COMMISSIONS
- As governor, Chip will immediately begin a full review and audit of the more than 300 boards and commissions embedded within state government to eliminate and/or consolidate at least one-third to save taxpayer dollars, limit the regulatory power of non-elected appointees, and provide citizens with full transparency and public notice to avoid abuse and overreach.
MAKE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE
- Chip believes that state government belongs to all Oklahomans and should be customer focused, lean, disciplined, and fully transparent. While a handful of special interests flood the State Capitol with lobbyists to do their bidding, most Oklahomans only have their voice heard during an election. As governor, Chip will conduct state government office hours throughout the state along with key cabinet members so citizens, small businesses, and local communities have direct access to their state government.

DIGITAL ASSETS

You own your money, not the government. As governor, Chip will defend your financial freedom and privacy from government overreach. Like President Trump, Chip recognizes that Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are a dangerous step toward financial surveillance and political control.

BANNING CBDCs
- As governor, Chip will prevent state agencies from adopting or promoting CBDCs and defend the right of Oklahomans to own, trade, and invest in digital assets without government interference. He'll ensure no agency or bureaucrat can ever monitor or seize digital property without due process.

MADE IN AMERICA HERE IN OKLAHOMA

Chip Keating knows what we build in Oklahoma matters far beyond our borders. Oklahoma's aerospace industry produces the planes and parts that keep our military strong and our nation secure.

Keating will champion a "Made in America Here In Oklahoma" plan that grows manufacturing, strengthens our supply chains, and ensures Oklahoma workers are always at the tip of the spear for America's defense, energy, and agriculture sectors.

Oklahoma has a unique opportunity to be a manufacturing magnet well into the future. Chip knows we have God-given resources most states do not have access to, hardworking and patriotic citizens who never back down from a challenge, a cost of living that is attractive compared to other competing states, and values that many seek as a way of life.

PRESERVING & SUPPORTING OUR FARMS

According to the Oklahoma Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture, Oklahoma is home to 86,000 farms covering over 35 million acres, providing over 188,000 jobs and $28 billion in total output. Chip will partner with President Trump to make sure our agricultural heritage is protected from foreign adversaries and that our farmers have fair access to markets.

In addition, Chip believes state government must remove burdensome regulations and obstacles to our agricultural sector by leading a comprehensive review of all rules and regulations that have only compounded or not adapted over decades. Farming is food security and a major highlight of his Made in America Here In Oklahoma blueprint.
