OKC Standard

Senator Lankford has launched an initiative named "Oklahoma Works," a video series aimed at showcasing the work ethic of everyday Oklahomans. The series will see the senator traveling across the state to meet individuals engaged in diverse professions, such as construction workers, teachers, first responders, farmers, and small business owners, among others. Lankford emphasizes the intent of the project: “The goal is simple—highlight the work ethic and values of the people who make Oklahoma work.”

The series begins with several videos already filmed. One video features Ivy and James from Warren Cat, a company known for its 40-year service in heavy machinery repair. Another video introduces Dawson and Blake at A New Leaf, an organization that provides housing and vocational training for individuals with intellectual disabilities. A further installment highlights Lonnie, the owner of Limestone Construction for 16 years.

Throughout the year, videos will be accessible on social media and Lankford’s website, illustrating various Oklahomans' stories and values.
