Photos provided N’KIYLA “JASMINE” THOMAS, candidate for U. S. Senate from Oklahoma, was guest speaker at the recent meeting of Bryan County Federation of Democratic Women. Thomas said that she wants to be a voice in the Senate for fair wages and opportunities for workers; accessible health care; better teacher pay and classroom funding; rights for immigrants; and support for farmers and ranchers, not corporate interests. The Senate seat Thomas is eyeing is currently held by Markwayne Mullin. If Mullin is confirmed by the U. S. Senate to be Secretary of Homeland Security, as is expected, Gov. Kevin Stitt will appoint someone to serve the rest of his Senate term, and Oklahoma voters will choose a new Senator this fall.
