Walters recently gave a speech in the capitol rotunda and by golly he sounded like he's going to run for governor, while not bringing up much about school policy. For instance, Walters said he favors abolishing the state income tax.

I think Ryan Walters has ZERO chance to be Governor of Oklahoma. Drummond has already announced and Pinnell will probably run as well. Those two will be in a runoff for the Republican nomination. No idea who will be the staked goat for the Democrats. Madison Horn's name has been thrown around, but she got less than 40% of the vote in the 5th District Congressional race last November and that is the most progressive district in Oklahoma.

I hope you are right, but I would have thought he would have no chance of being the superintendent until he won easily.

I have some friends who are lobbyists and we talk about this when we get together for beers on Thursdays. Walters is not a popular person at the capital. Now the Trump Administration doesn’t seem to have an interest in him. I just wish he wasn’t an OSU grad.

Walters may not be popular at the capitol, but he seems popular with the voters. Interesting how Democrat senate candidates for state legislature said Walters was one of the top topics that came up when they went door to door. Yet they lost by a large margin. At any rate I suspect Walters is popular in the rural counties and only strong turnout in the metros against him can beat him.

no democrat will win governor or senator or House seat anytime soon, as Rep registered voters outnumber Dems 2-1; however, Horn did poorly because of gerrymandering of district 5...in 2020 it was 52.1% (R) - 47.9%(D) in district 5 and in 2018 Horn (D) won 50.7%(D) - 49.3%(R)...enter the gerrymandering of district 5 and since then it has been 59%(R) - 37.4%(D) in 2022 and 60.7%(R) -39.3%(D) in 2024...things were too close in district 5...

I live in district 5. Used to drive three blocks to vote(they’re still voting at that location) now we have to drive to a Harrah church. Choctaw is voting on a one cent sales tax increase and we vote in another town. There’s little to no accountability with one party in charge. Six mile drive for the crime of voting Democratic.

Wonder if wannabe Trump has developed additional curriculum and mandated including the Tulsa race riots in Oklahoma history classrooms? Doubt it, that would require actual work. He believes in his hypocritical little heart that these minor, kiss ass moves, will win him the Governorship.

IF a person’s eyes are a doorway to the soul, he’s rotten to the core. Seriously, it’s like his pupils have swallowed his irises. Black as coal. I can’t believe anyone could vote for this complete and total attention starved little prick. But I’ve certainly been wrong before. They’re definitely on the side that’s winning. Project 2025 is moving forward nicely.

Oklahoma education chief endorses immigration raids in schools

Oklahoma’s top education official said he would support immigration enforcement raids in schools to assist with the White House’s promise of mass deportations.
...
“For years the liberal media has been vilifying Republicans for separating illegal immigrant children from their parents,” Walters said in a news release Friday afternoon. “Now they want us to explain why we’d let ICE agents into schools. The answer is simple: we want to ensure that deported parents are reconnected with their children and keep families together.” (BS!!!)
