Sen. Lankford Announces Yearlong Effort to Highlight the Work Ethic of Everyday Oklahomans

Oklahoma City, OK— Sen. Lankford is launching a yearlong initiative to highlight the people who make Oklahoma strong—everyday Oklahomans who show up, get the job done, and help their neighbors along the way. “Oklahoma Works” is a new video series that will follow Sen. Lankford around the state as he meets with Oklahomans from all walks of life, including construction workers, teachers, first responders, farmers, mechanics, small business owners, healthcare workers, retail workers, and more. The goal is simple—highlight the work ethic and values of the people who make Oklahoma work.
