To let you know a little bit of my background, I was born and raised in Bixby, OK. After college, at 21 years old I started my own construction company and investing in real estate. I had several employees working for me and ultimately sold that company 7 years later. The sale of the company made it possible for me to focus on real estate full time, which was a passion of mine. I obtained my real estate license in 2008 and a few years later became a managing broker for McGraw Realtors. In 2016, my wife, Wendi, and I opened our own brokerage firm, Guthrie Realty, located in Downtown Bixby. Wendi & I have been married 22 years and have two wonderful children. Abby is a junior at Oklahoma State University studying Pre-Law. John is a junior at Bixby High School with ambitions to be an engineer and is on the Bixby High School golf team. We attend church at Life Church South Tulsa on 121st Street between Memorial & Sheridan. Furthermore, I have been actively involved in community service for many years. Currently, I am serving my 6th year as Mayor of Bixby with a total of 12 years on the Bixby City Council, all as a volunteer. Additionally, I sit on the board of INCOG and serve as a trustee of the Tulsa County Criminal Justice Authority, which oversees operations at the Tulsa County Jail.
  • Our state government spending has grown by 50% from $8 million in 2020 to $12 million in 2024. Our population has only grown approximately 9%. We need to reduce spending and the size of our government. As our state grows, the additional revenues should allow the state to reduce taxes and put tax payer's money back in their pockets.
  • I will protect and fight for our rights including parental rights, individual rights, and our god-given rights such as those outlined in the Constitution.
  • Pro-Life, Pro 2nd amendment, and protecting our traditional Oklahoma values.
Judicial reform. Continue making education a priority for the state because we must invest in our next generation. Preventing government overreach. Lower the personal income tax rate.
I always looked up to my grandfather. I spent many hours hanging out and absorbing wisdom from my grandfather. He passed away in 2020 and left a legacy for generations.
Must be a leader. Must be a good listener. Must have good family values. Must have the courage to stand and fight for their constituents.
I'm a good listener, hard worker and not afraid to get my hands dirty.
Represent the interests and concerns of the constituents of District 25.
One that the next legislator would want to continue the same values. One that the constituents are happy where they live and feel like their government is a benefit to them.
My first job was a stocker and bagger at Doc's Country Mart. I worked there one year and then took a job at the local lumber yard, where I worked in the outside yard loading customers and helping customers pick out supplies for their projects.
Family addiction and breaking that cycle to where it no longer exists.
The ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature is one characterized by cooperation, communication, and mutual respect. While each branch of government has its own responsibilities and powers, they should work together to serve the best interests of the state and its citizens.
Inflation, availability of jobs, homelessness, mental health, declining infrastructure.
I believe it is beneficial especially if they have had experience in a different political office.
One legislator cannot accomplish anything on their own. The system is designed for ideas to be debated and come to a resolution that benefits all Oklahomans.
Why don't some couples go to the gym?

Because some relationships don't work out!
Yes, a majority of the legislature should oversee or grant the use of emergency powers
Restore parental rights in the medical field over their children. Make cursive writing mandatory. Explore ideas on how to recruit teachers directly out of college with incentives. Lower personal income taxes.
All 4 current Bixby city Councilors, former Bixby Mayor John Easton, Jenks Mayor Cory Box, Glenpool Mayor Joyce Calvert, owner Doc's Country Mart Jim Brown.
Transportation, Appropriations, Education, Judiciary, Business & Commerce, Tourism & Wildlife
Taxpayers deserve to know where their tax dollars are being spent by their government. Every dollar should be accounted for. The government must be accountable to the people or they should be replaced at their next election.
I am not aware of any issues to the Oklahoma ballot initiative process. If I were to discover issues later, then I would explore ways to fix those issues.

Scorecards

See also:State legislative scorecards andState legislative scorecards in Oklahoma

Ascorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
