<h2>I'm running because elected officials should be regular Americans.</h2><img src="https://run.imgix.net/058f9963-14dc-47bf-be32-2950bcfe337f/b48afce7-6974-4522-8f76-7bd43d6b7c0f/b48afce7-6974-4522-8f76-7bd43d6b7c0f.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C218%2C4800%2C5149&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="37" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"><h3>For far too long, Congress has been dominated by millionaires, lawyers, elites, and their friends. So, is it any wonder that nothing seems to work for average Americans like you and me? </h3>I'm running because I believe members of Congress should be regular Americans, like you and me, not millionaires, billionaires, or their puppet politicians. Only when we start electing people who experience firsthand what it is like to survive and struggle in today's economy will we finally begin to see laws that truly help. As a small business manager, homeowner, and former teacher, I know what it means to live paycheck to paycheck. I understand the struggles that so many families experience. I have seen how it affects the students in my classroom---and me at home. I have felt the hopelessness that comes from carrying massive student debt for my entire adult life. It crushes more than just job opportunities and credit scores. I know how difficult it is for smaller businesses to thrive in today's economy--an economy built by and for the billionaires and their mega corporations. As an individual who has seen $100,000 medical bills, I can attest to how broken and greed-driven our medical system truly is. I know what a utility disconnect notice looks like, what a past-due charge means, and how scary an overdraft can feel. For too many of us, this isn't working. So, let's change it! <h4>We can't keep doing the same thing and expect different results.</h4>Many politicians today are using the same, tired playbook---Republicans and Democrats alike. We need change, not just in our country but also in politics. It is time for Democrats and Republicans to get money out of politics by universally rejecting corporate PAC and special-interest money. And it is far past time for the government to stop subsidizing the toxic relationship between Congress and corporations, and start taking care of the American people. Our government should serving Americans, not foreign investors and shareholders. I believe that our taxes are best spent on defense, roads, schools, bridges, elder care, medicine, and food. Americans do not believe that our taxes should be used as corporate handouts for the wealthy and the powerful---and I agree. Enough is Enough.

Erik Terwey, candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Oklahoma’s 2nd Congressional District, spoke about the importance of protesting.“Nonviolent resistance is not weakness. It’s the most effective tool that the powerless and those in minority have ever wielded,” Terwey said. “It has brought down empires. It took down segregation, and it has shaken dictators from their thrones, and it will absolutely turn back the tide of fascism in this country.

​BARTLESVILLE, OK - September 11, 2025 - In response to the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, Erik Terwey issued the following statement:“The despicable political killing of Charlie Kirk yesterday is yet another example of why we need common sense gun laws. The United States has the highest number of gun deaths of any industrialized nation, and we need to reduce the number of guns in our communities. With more guns than people in our society, there has to be a better way forward, even as I support the Second Amendment.Political killings are an act against the Constitution, which gives every American the right to speak their mind, regardless of whether we agree with them. Freedom of speech is a fundamental right that we are all required to respect and uphold. I encourage all Oklahomans, including our elected federal delegation, to help lower the temperature of political discourse in this country and to reject violence in all forms. The recent attacks against both Democrats and Republicans alike must not become our new political norm, and I urge Representative Brecheen to join me in calling for replacing political violence with respectful discourse and dialogue.###

With more guns than people in our society, there has to be a better way forward, ever as I support the 2nd Amendment."

Statement from Oklahoma Congressional District 2 Candidate Erik Terwey on the Death of Charlie Kirk

Erik grew up believing that a man's word is his bond. 90 years ago, this country made a promise to all Americans: work hard, pay into our system, contribute to society, and we will NOT let you fall into poverty in your golden years. We promised each other not only to protect the elderly from poverty, but to give them a sense of dignity in their final years. 50 years ago, we added to that pledge by creating Medicaid so that the needy and aging would have access to quality healthcare. Today, however, the MAGA-rebranded Republican party has broken that promise. Our Representative, Josh Brecheen, has voted to cut Medicaid--- a decision that will have life-and-death consequences for the individuals who will no longer have coverage. And why did he do this? What could possibly be as important as saving American lives? Tax breaks for the wealthy. He voted to take away life-saving medical care so that our Treasury can write checks to the rich. This is unacceptable.When elected to Congress, Erik will fight not just to preserve the benefits that you worked your entire life to enjoy, but he will work to expand them! When our society made that promise, it was understood that Social Security would provide more than just an income---it would provide dignity. Unfortunately, that is something it isn't doing today. We need to ensure that payments to seniors provide enough to cover all living expenses. No American should have to choose between food and medicine, rent or gas, utilities or insurance. It is a shameful reality that we must face and fix now.

No Kings Rally- McAlester

Every American should have the right to high-quality, accessible medical care. The United States is the only major nation in the world that does not guarantee healthcare for everyone, yet we spend more per capita and have worse outcomes than any of those other countries. Some say that our system is broken, but the sad reality is that our healthcare system in this country is working exactly as intended. The system we have has been meticulously crafted by legions of industry lobbyists and Washington insiders. The system they have created prioritizes profit over patient, leaving millions of Americans saddled with unimaginable medical debt---all so that CEOs and shareholders can add extra zeroes to their ever-increasing bank accounts.We deserve a healthcare system that is patient-centered and wellness-focused, not investor-led and greed-driven. We must get money and profit out of medicine---and that includes pharmaceuticals!We have seen the devastating impacts that for-profit Big Pharma has had in just the last 40 years. It is time for us to stand up as a nation to these industries and reaffirm our right to structure our healthcare to serve the people---not the billionaires. It is time for us to wrest control of healthcare from the CEOs and present-day robber barons, and return medicine to the hands of caregivers and researchers.

Every American has the right to a quality education, and an educated public benefits us all. Education is a service that is provided to a population and as such should not be run in a for-profit manner. Public funds poured into for-profit schools will be used to increase the wealth of investors with no accountability to the public for actual outcomes. Student debt and college affordability is becoming an economic crisis that we must solve.

Bartlesville, OK – January 3, 2026This morning's military strikes on Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro represent a dangerous overreach of executive power and a clear violation of both our Constitution and international law. I am compelled to speak out against what appears to be an illegal act of aggression that will diminish America's standing in the world and set a troubling precedent for how we conduct foreign policy.Let's be clear about what happened here. Without a declaration of war from Congress and without authorization for the use of military force, the President ordered strikes on a sovereign nation and orchestrated what amounts to a kidnapping of a head of state. No matter what we think of Maduro's regime—and there is much to criticize—this is not how a nation governed by the rule of law conducts itself.The administration claims this is about stopping drug trafficking, but we need to look honestly at the facts. Venezuela produces virtually no fentanyl. The Trump administration has provided no credible evidence linking the boats they've destroyed to actual drug operations. Meanwhile, the President and his advisors have been remarkably candid about their real interest: Venezuela's oil. Stephen Miller said it out loud—that Venezuela's oil "belongs" to the United States. The President himself has demanded Venezuela return "all of the oil, land, and other assets" to America.This isn't about protecting Americans from drugs. This is about seizing control of the world's largest proven oil reserves through military force.That should trouble every American who believes in the principles this country was founded on. We don't invade other countries to take their resources. We don't bypass Congress when committing acts of war. And we don't shred international law whenever it's inconvenient. The Constitution gives Congress—not the President alone—the power to declare war for good reason. Our founders understood the dangers of unchecked executive power, particularly when it comes to military action.When I'm elected to Congress, I will fight to restore constitutional order and accountability. That means:<ul><li>Demanding a full investigation into the legal justification for these strikes</li><li>Supporting immediate congressional action to limit this President's ability to wage unauthorized war</li><li>Holding hearings to examine whether oil interests, not drug policy, drove this decision</li><li>Working to repair the damage done to America's international standing</li><li>Ensuring that no president—from either party—can unilaterally commit acts of war without congressional authorization</li></ul>The people of this district deserve a representative who will stand up for the Constitution even when it's politically difficult, who will ask hard questions about whether we're being told the truth about military action, and who understands that American power is strongest when it's exercised within the bounds of law, both domestic and international.This isn't about defending Maduro. It's about defending the principles that make America a nation of laws. It's about preserving Congress's constitutional role as a check on executive overreach. And it's about ensuring that we don't sacrifice our values in pursuit of oil disguised as drug policy.The American people deserve better. They deserve the truth. And they deserve leaders who will uphold their oath to the Constitution, no matter who sits in the Oval Office.# # #

Haskell County Cookout

Every American deserves quality public schools, and an educated public benefits us all. Erik is a proud product of our public education system. The education that he received in the Bartlesville Public School system was second to none. Every student in our district deserves to have access to that same, high-quality learning. Education is a human right, and Erik will fight every day to protect it.Public education is a service that is provided to a population, and as such, it should not be run in a for-profit manner. Public funds poured into for-profit schools increase the wealth of investors with no accountability to the public for actual outcomes. Erik is completely against vouchers in any form. Yes, we MUST address the issues plaguing our public education system, but the solution is not to take even MORE money away from cash-strapped public schools and divert it into wealthy private institutions. It is cruel, immoral, and un-democratic.Student debt and college affordability is becoming an economic crisis that we must solve now. In a country that can find ways to bail out industry after industry, we can and WILL ease the suffering of millions of people by canceling student debt and making public education free to all---Pre-K through university. In addition, we must expand early childhood education because ALL children deserve a chance to learn. These aren't radical ideas. This is how dignified democracies educate their populations, and it is time we joined the party.

High costs are harming everyday Americans, from groceries and healthcare to housing and childcare. Millions of people are getting by paycheck to paycheck. One in five children in Oklahoma is living in poverty.We need solutions that will work for every American, not just the very richest among us.We live in a wonderfully rich and bountiful country---and an economy that powers the economic engine of the world. There is no reason why any American should be sitting on the sidelines or underemployed. Every able-bodied American has the right to work for a wage that does more than help them merely survive. And if Americans can't find those jobs, they should be able to go to work for their country--- repairing roads, building bridges, updating schools, and re-establishing rural hospitals. Housing has become unaffordable for many, causing some families to spend over 50% of their income on rent. That leaves very little for utilities, and virtually nothing for emergencies, school costs, sports, and so much more. It's a common story that unfortunately is being experienced by more and more Oklahomans.But we can stop it.We must end the practice of allowing investment firms to buy up entire swaths of neighborhoods and cities. We must end the ability of a handful of individuals to drive up the cost of home ownership and pricing out the middle class. We must work with landlords and property owners to find humane and fair practices for resolving rental disputes. And we must work to build many more affordable housing units across the country over the next decade. Together, we can work to eliminate homelessness and raise the level of home ownership in our state and country.
