Gise Recognized as Freshman Legislator of the Year by OICA for Children’s Advocacy

OHOMAHOMA CITY — Rep. Emily Gise, R-Oklahoma City, has been chosen as the Republican Freshman Legislator of the Year by the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy (OICA) for her work advocating for children and families. This recognition reflects Gise’s commitment to policies that support Oklahoma’s children through thoughtful, effective leadership grounded in conservative principles. "I believe children are our future, and they deserve leaders who put their well-being first," Gise said. "This award is not just about me; it’s about the shared responsibility we have to strengthen families and ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed." Among her legislative achievements, Gise authored House Bill 1600 , the Patients’ Bill of Rights. The bill establishes a clear standard of care and outlines fundamental patient rights, promoting transparency across the healthcare system, including in pediatric care, while reinforcing the role of parents in informed, family-centered medical decision-making. This bill will go into effect Nov. 1. She also sponsored House Bill 1601 , known as Archer’s Act, which allows teachers to use accrued sick leave to extend maternity leave to 12 weeks. Gise created this bill to support early childhood development, strong family bonds, and maternal health without creating new taxpayer-funded programs. This bill was approved by the governor and will go into effect Nov. 1. Beyond legislation, Gise has worked closely with the Office of Juvenile Affairs, the Department of Human Services and the Oklahoma Commission on Children and Youth to improve outcomes for at-risk youth across Oklahoma. "This recognition highlights the importance of practical, accountable policies that prioritize children’s long-term well-being," Gise said. "We must continue working together to build stronger families and communities in Oklahoma because investing in our children today will only push our state toward lasting strength and success." Gise also serves as vice chair of the Human Services Appropriations and Budget Committee for Oklahoma's 60th Legislature, where she plays an important role in overseeing state resources that impact health and human services programs, especially those that impact children and families across the state.

Gise Shares Oklahoma's Leadership on Antisemitism at Boulder Summit

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Emily Gise, R-Oklahoma City, joined state leaders from across the region last week for a high-level summit on rising antisemitism and the growing threats faced by Jewish students and Christian supporters of Israel on college campuses. "In light of recent events, this message is more urgent than ever," Gise said. "I stand with President Trump and proudly support Israel in its fight against extremist Islamic terrorism." The event , The Boulder Summit: Confronting Antisemitism in Our Region , was hosted by Boulder Mayor Aaron Brockett and the Combat Antisemitism Movement following a recent antisemitic attack in which a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a peaceful gathering of elderly Jewish Americans. The summit convened just over a week after the attack to address what organizers described as a national emergency. "Oklahoma has zero tolerance for hate,” Gise said. "We’re not here to make statements, we’re here to pass laws that protect students and ensure every campus is a place of safety and respect. By taking clear and deliberate action, Oklahoma is setting an example for how states can respond to rising antisemitism with real solutions. When leaders act with courage, clarity and conviction, we can protect our communities and uphold the values that define us." During her remarks, Gise highlighted two bills passed during the 2025 legislative session as examples of Oklahoma’s commitment to taking meaningful action. Senate Bill 942 , co-authored by Sen. Kristen Thompson, R-Edmond, and Gise, requires schools to implement clear, enforceable policies addressing antisemitic harassment. The law ensures compliance with Title VI civil rights protections and prioritizes the safety of Jewish students and faculty. Senate Bill 991 , also authored by Sen. Thompson and supported by Gise, formally adopts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism into Oklahoma’s public education system. The law mandates accountability for antisemitic incidents and sets a standard for identifying hate-based conduct. "In Oklahoma, we took proactive steps to address the growing threat of antisemitism with Senate Bills 942 and 991, strengthening our state’s response to antisemitic violence and ensuring our laws reflect zero tolerance for hate," Thompson said. "We will continue to lead boldly and unapologetically." In recent months, incidents of antisemitism tied to misinformation and extremist rhetoric related to the Israel–Hamas conflict have increased, including violent attacks, online harassment and the targeting of Jewish students and Christian Zionist groups. "This is not just a matter of foreign policy, it’s a matter of principle," Gise said. "Defending Israel and standing with our Jewish brothers and sisters, both abroad and here at home, is a core value I hold deeply." The summit brought together lawmakers, university officials, Jewish community leaders and national advocates to coordinate a state-level response to the rise in antisemitic violence, threats and harassment across the United States. Participants emphasized the need for stronger policies in higher education institutions and more vocal support from public officials. "I’m grateful to the City of Boulder and Mayor Brockett for the opportunity to join this important conversation," Gise said. "It was an honor to share how Oklahoma is addressing antisemitism through real policy. These discussions matter, and I’m hopeful they will inspire continued action to protect Jewish students and all those facing religious discrimination on our campuses."
