OKLAHOMA CITY – We have heard from our constituents and Oklahomans across our state who have great concern and frustration regarding the recent ticketing of tribal citizens for driving with tribal car tags off of tribal land. We want to be clear: we continue to be in support of tribes, and acknowledge and respect their tribal sovereignty.

This is another attempt by the Governor to undermine our tribal leaders and nations as he continues to demonstrate his inability to work with them.

If he has valid concerns, he should lead by having discussions with tribal leaders instead of creating unnecessary chaos that is harmful and unproductive.
