Senate passes bill ending vehicle sales tax hike they passed in 2017

They want you to congratulate them on cutting your taxes, when in reality the folks who were opposed to raising your taxes in the first place have been more than vindicated over the past several years.

For reference, here are the candidates for higher office who voted in 2017 to raise this tax on Oklahomans:

  • State Sen. Kim David (running for Corporation Commissioner)
  • State Rep. Avery Frix (running for 2nd District Congress)
  • State Rep. Leslie Osborn (incumbent Labor Commissioner)
  • State Rep. Dustin Roberts (running for 2nd District Congress)
  • State Rep. Todd Thomsen (running for Corporation Commissioner)

Here are the candidates for higher office who were taxpayer champions and voted in 2017 against raising this tax on Oklahomans:

  • State Sen. Josh Brecheen (running for 2nd District Congress)
  • State Sen. Nathan Dahm (running for U.S. Senate, special election)
  • State Sen. Marty Quinn (running for 2nd District Congress)
  • State Rep. John Bennett (running for 2nd District Congress)
  • State Rep. Kevin Calvey (running for Oklahoma County District Attorney)
  • State Rep. Sean Roberts (running for Labor Commissioner)
  • State Rep. Todd Russ (running for State Treasurer)

Remember their record, not their rhetoric, at the ballot box.
