Women currently make up 21.5% of Oklahoma’s legislative body yet represent over half of the general population.
Sally’s List is committed to creating a future where Oklahoma’s Legislature adequately reflects those it serves. For years, short-sighted decisions, lack of fiscal responsibility, and inequitable policies have left Oklahomans at the bottom and top of the wrong lists. Until women have a place at the table, they will continue to be the ones who bear the weight of unjust policies.
Oklahoma ranks 48th in the nation overall for women’s health, economic opportunity, and leadership. Across the board, women in OKlahoma are suffering; from high incarceration rates and low teacher pay, to a lack of health insurance and access to primary care physicians. While these issues are not gender-specific, it is women who are most often affected by them.

Until women are equally represented in our Federal and State leadership, we have to work together to build a strong community of people mobilized for progress. Get engaged by attending our events, following us on social media, and by supporting women running for office.
