Over the past decade, attorneys general around the nation have seen an increase in their influence and importance to fight bad laws or to defend good ones. Under my administration, Oklahoma has had significant opportunities to challenge what had been federal overreach of the Biden Administration and to uphold the Trump Administration’s efforts to restore the rule of law. In so doing, our state has emerged as a national model for the rule of law, conservative values and commonsense policies. 

I am especially proud of what my office accomplished for Oklahoma and the nation in 2025. We have left no stone unturned in our relentless endeavors for the people we serve, and as such, we have blazed a trail that can be followed by others in our state and across America.

Fighting Organized Crime

This fall, my office marked the two-year anniversary of my Organized Crime Task Force (OCTF), a critical weapon in the battle against illegal marijuana operations, fentanyl distribution and other criminal enterprises. Since its inception, the task force has been instrumental in the closure of more than 7,000 illegal operations, resulting in the seizure of nearly 330,000 marijuana plants, 153,000 pounds of processed marijuana and 27,000 pounds of THC concentrate. Along the way, we have built a tremendous partnership with law enforcement agencies across multiple jurisdictions. OCTF operations have resulted in dozens of arrests and many deportations of illegal aliens........
