Legislative Leaders Comment on Federal Government Reopening, Highlight Next Steps for SNAP

Reps. Daniel Pae, R-Lawton, and Emily Gise, R-Oklahoma City, who lead the Oklahoma House Appropriations & Budget Human Services Subcommittee, released the following statements after Congress passed a bipartisan agreement late Wednesday to reopen the federal government and restore funding to critical programs: "We’re relieved to see the federal government reopened and critical services fully restored," Pae said. "Throughout the shutdown, we have closely monitored its impact on SNAP recipients and local food providers across Oklahoma. This agreement allows us to move forward with implementing the SNAP provisions of H.R. 1, which eases access for families in need."  Gise added, "The shutdown was a gut punch for working families, and Oklahomans deserve better than D.C. drama that gambles with their groceries. Now it’s time to restore trust, improve SNAP accountability and keep families fed instead of forgotten."  House Speaker Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow, said, "The end of this shutdown is long overdue. Oklahomans shouldn’t have to bear the cost of Washington gridlock caused by Democrats’ refusal to advance responsible funding bills. Now, the focus must return to governance that keeps our economy strong, holds programs accountable and puts working families first." The lawmakers reaffirmed their commitment to working with state and federal partners to ensure a smooth rollout of the SNAP updates under H.R. 1 and to maintain consistent communication with state agencies and recipients moving forward.

Gise Named to CSG 20 Under 40 Leadership Class

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Emily Gise, R-Oklahoma City, has been named one of the 2025 recipients of the Council of State Governments’ 20 Under 40 Leadership Award. The honor recognizes 20 emerging elected and appointed state officials across all four CSG regions for their bipartisan leadership and commitment to public service. “I am deeply honored to be recognized by the Council of State Governments as part of this year’s 20 Under 40 class,” Gise said. “It’s inspiring to join such a distinguished group of leaders who are passionate about serving their states and finding common ground to make a difference. I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent Oklahoma among this outstanding group of public servants.” The CSG 20 Under 40 Leadership Award was created to strengthen engagement with younger state leaders. Each year, the program highlights public servants under the age of 40 who are making meaningful contributions to their communities while exemplifying the core CSG values of civility, collaboration and innovation. “This year’s CSG 20 Under 40 honorees are each exceptional leaders in their states. Collectively, they represent the best of America,” said David Adkins, CSG executive director and CEO. “These young leaders pursue public service with passion, and they understand the value of working collaboratively to get things done. While they have already accomplished a lot, I’m confident these state officials will make a difference for decades to come.” A recognition ceremony for the 2025 recipients will take place at the CSG National Conference, Dec. 9–13, in Chicago. Leaders from all 56 states and U.S. territories will gather to exchange ideas, address complex state policy issues and celebrate the work of outstanding public servants.

Lawmakers Call OJA Leadership Change a Chance to Refocus

OKLAHOMA CITY – Reps. Daniel Pae, R-Lawton; Emily Gise, R-Oklahoma City; Danny Sterling, R-Tecumseh; and Dell Kerbs, R-Shawnee, released the following joint statement after the resignation of Office of Juvenile Affairs Director Tim Tardibono amid recent concerns at the Central Oklahoma Juvenile Center: “We acknowledge Tim Tardibono’s decision to step down as director of the Office of Juvenile Affairs. This change gives the agency a chance to restore stability and refocus on its core mission of helping Oklahoma’s youth succeed. “New leadership is a positive step but we know that leadership changes alone don’t fix long-term problems. The challenges at COJC, including staff injuries, low morale and daily operational strain, need real, lasting attention. “We’re calling on the interim director and the OJA Board to move quickly and transparently to strengthen the agency. That means ensuring safe staffing levels, rebuilding morale, supporting trauma-informed care and keeping the focus on rehabilitation and youth development. “We welcome Sharon ‘Shel’ Millington as interim director and look forward to working with OJA leadership, state officials and community partners to bring forward meaningful reforms next session. “The work ahead is significant but we share the same goal: to protect staff, support youth and restore public confidence in Oklahoma’s juvenile justice system.”
