Stark Crowns Ms. Wheelchair Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Marilyn Stark, R-Bethany, crowned Ms. Wheelchair Oklahoma Erica Sebourn during a ceremony held this week at the State Capitol.  Erica, a United States Air Force veteran and longtime law enforcement officer, was honored for her resilience, advocacy and lifelong commitment to serving others. Based in Seminole, she served with the Sperry Police Department as a Crimes Against Children investigator, working to protect Oklahomans with compassion and skill.  "Erica's life reflects strength, service and dedication to her community," Stark said. "She has faced hardship with grace and turned her own challenges into a mission to uplift others. It was a privilege to crown her as Ms. Wheelchair Oklahoma, and I look forward to supporting her efforts to improve the lives of wheelchair service dog teams across our state."  After Erica unexpectedly became wheelchair-bound, she continued her public service through advocacy and outreach. She now uses her experience to support others navigating mobility issues, ensuring they have a voice and a strong example of perseverance.  Stark said Erica's recognition as Ms. Wheelchair Oklahoma shows her ongoing contributions to Oklahoma and her community.

Stark, West Commend SNU Students’ Food Drive

OKLAHOMA CITY – Reps. Marilyn Stark, R-Bethany, and Tammy West, R-Oklahoma City, presented a citation this week to students in Southern Nazarene University’s international management class in recognition of their recent food drive benefiting local families facing food insecurity.  Students in the class collected more than 1,000 nonperishable food items this semester as part of a service-learning project that connected course lessons to community need.  The idea began after the class learned about a local family struggling with food insecurity due to the loss of their SNAP benefits. What started as a simple donation drive quickly grew into a campuswide effort to meet a real and urgent need.  "The students’ compassion and commitment to serving others is truly inspiring," Stark said. "They saw a need close to home and stepped up in a meaningful way. I was honored to present this citation alongside Rep. West and to recognize the work these students put into helping families in our community."  "The strength of our state lies in the strength of our communities," West said. "The loss of SNAP benefits this month has unfortunately hit many Oklahoma families hard, but our state has rallied together to support our neighbors. These students heard about a need and took it upon themselves to answer the call. I am proud of how their kindness and initiative has made a difference in these families' lives."  The citation was presented during class on campus earlier this week.

Interim Study Examines How Tax Exemptions Support Nonprofits

OKLAHOMA CITY – Reps. Marilyn Stark, R-Bethany, and Suzanne Schreiber, D-Tulsa, hosted an interim study examining how sales tax exemptions impact nonprofit organizations across Oklahoma. The study brought together leaders from a range of nonprofits to share how tax exemptions help them serve their communities and strengthen local economies.  “This discussion shed light on the important role nonprofits play in supporting Oklahomans and how sales tax exemptions allow them to stretch their resources further,” Stark said. “I want to thank all the individuals who came to share what they are doing for Oklahoma families and children. Their insight will help guide future policy decisions to ensure these organizations can continue meeting community needs.” Presenters included representatives from the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits, RG Foods, Jubilee Partners, Skyline Urban Outreach, The Pencil Box, Tulsa Police Foundation, Blue Rose Ranch and the Legacy Parenting Center. They discussed how tax exemptions help nonprofits expand services, increase outreach and reinvest in their missions.  Representative Schreiber said “these nonprofits deliver for our communities in so many ways. I’m glad we can look at how make their dollars go further to support the needs of Oklahomans.” Stark and Schreiber said they plan to continue reviewing ways to ensure tax policies support nonprofit work while maintaining accountability and fiscal responsibility.
