Kurt Murray

I am honored to announce my candidacy for the 2024 State Senator race, representing the resilient communities of District 21. My vision encompasses the core values that define Oklahoma: supporting our education system, supporting the oil and gas industry, championing agriculture, and preserving the Oklahoma way of life. Together, let's build a future where every voice is heard, every dream is nurtured, and every corner of our district flourishes. Join me as we embark on this journey to shape a stronger, brighter tomorrow for District 21 and beyond.

My commitment to agriculture and education runs deep, spanning generations of family farming and dedicated service to FFA and CareerTech. I worked at CareerTech for over 20 years as a program specialist – serving agriculture educators and students throughout Oklahoma. Education and agriculture are intertwined, and I take pride in supporting both as they go hand in hand, shaping the future of our communities.

I would love to see any memories we've had together over the years! Drop them in the comments below!

Cutting Red Tape, Amplifying Voices
I believe in a government that works for the people, not against them. As we strive for progress in District 21, I am dedicated to reducing unnecessary regulations and bureaucratic red tape. It's time to prioritize the voices of the people, ensuring that the government serves as a facilitator, not a hindrance. Let's build a future where the aspirations of District 21 are heard and realized. Together, we cut through the clutter for a more efficient and responsive government.

Our land isn't just soil and acres; it's the essence of our heritage and identity. I'm dedicated to protecting Oklahoma's land and the rights of our landowners. Preserving our soil isn't just about safeguarding property; it's about safeguarding our values, our independence. Let's ensure our land remains in the hands of Oklahomans, rooted in the principles that define us. Together, we uphold the spirit of our state and secure our future.

Balancing Progress and Values
In the evolving landscape of Oklahoma, I envision a future where industrialization and progress go hand in hand with our cherished values. Embracing innovation, we can create jobs that sustain our communities while staying true to the essence of the Oklahoma way. Let's build a tomorrow where progress doesn't erode our values but rather enhances the foundation we stand upon. Together, we can forge a path that propels us forward without losing sight of who we are.

Economic Engine of Oklahoma
The oil and gas industry is the backbone of our state's economy, fueling growth and prosperity across various sectors. As we recognize the tireless efforts of those in the industry, let's also acknowledge its profound impact on supporting jobs, driving innovation, and fostering economic stability. Together, we stand committed to nurturing industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and small businesses, all integral parts of Oklahoma's thriving economic landscape.

My commitment to Oklahoma extends beyond rhetoric—it's about hands-on collaboration with educators, producers, and agriculturists. Whether cultivating partnerships in the classroom or standing side by side with those who till the soil, our shared vision is clear: to fortify our communities and propel our great state forward. Together, let's continue working hand in hand for a stronger, more prosperous Oklahoma.

Cultivating a Bright Future
A robust education system is the bedrock of a thriving Oklahoma. Supporting our dedicated teachers who mold young minds is paramount, especially in agriculture programs that instill valuable life skills. Let's invest in education, empower our teachers, and ensure our students grow with the knowledge and resilience to cultivate a brighter future for our great state.

My commitment to the people of this great state goes beyond policies—it's hands-on. From working with dedicated teachers to engaging directly with students, the journey is about collaboration and understanding. Together, let's continue to forge a path where our collective efforts empower teachers, inspire students, and strengthen the foundation of education in Oklahoma.

Guardians of Our Heritage
Upholding the Second Amendment is not just about defending our right to bear arms—it's about safeguarding the essence of our rural values. In Oklahoma, where our roots run deep, I stand firm in supporting the Second Amendment, preserving the traditions that make our state strong. Let's ensure the rural spirit of Oklahoma remains unwavering, rooted in the principles that have shaped our way of life for generations.

Guiding the youth of Oklahoma through the rich fields of knowledge and experience, especially within the esteemed Future Farmers of America association, has been an honor. Together, we cultivate not just crops but the next generation of leaders in agriculture. Nurturing their passion and potential ensures a future where our traditions blossom, and our youth stand at the forefront of progress.

With a foundation built in the fields and years spent alongside Oklahoma's cattle producers, I understand the hard work and dedication that goes into shaping our agricultural legacy. Protecting the future of Oklahoma agriculture and cattle production is not just a goal; it's a pledge. Let's work hand in hand to cultivate resilience, ensuring that our rich traditions continue to thrive for generations to come.

From FFA Member to Senate Aspirant
My journey reflects the familiar tale of many young agriculturists in Oklahoma. Starting as an FFA member and young agriculturist, my path, grounded in the fields, symbolizes the shared narrative of passion, hard work, and a profound connection to the land. This story, just like countless others, resonates with those who begin with humble roots and strive for impactful leadership. Together, let's celebrate the collective journey of young agriculturists shaping the future of our great state.

Gratitude for our Heroes
In the tapestry of our great state, the true heroes weave a story of selfless service and unwavering dedication. To the first responders and servicemen and women who stand as guardians of Oklahoma, we extend our heartfelt thanks. Your sacrifice ensures the safety and well-being of our communities. Let us honor and appreciate these brave individuals who protect the fabric of our great state.

The oil and gas industry is the backbone of Oklahoma's economic growth. It powers our communities, provides jobs, and fuels innovation. As we look toward the future, I am committed to supporting an industry that not only drives our economy forward but also plays a vital role in shaping the Oklahoma we know and love. Together, let's champion the oil and gas industry for a stronger, more resilient Oklahoma.

As I have been knocking doors and meeting the people of District 21, I’ve been asked, “Are you a Republican, or are you a Trump Republican?” My answer has been I’m a Reagan Republican. Ronald Reagan was the one President that made me proud to be an American. Happy Birthday!

Amidst the excitement of the Cattlemen's Congress, my focus extends to nurturing the next generation of cattle producers. It's a privilege to contribute to an event that not only celebrates our present but invests in the future. Guiding and empowering youth in the world of agriculture is not just a role—it's a commitment to fostering a new era of passionate and skilled cattle producers!

Agriculture and rural America are the backbone of our great state. For over a century, the hardworking farmers and ranchers have shaped our communities and fueled our economy. I stand unwaveringly in support of their dedication and resilience. Let's ensure that the heartbeat of Oklahoma, our agricultural roots, continues to thrive. Together, we stand up for the backbone of our state.

Committed to the Next Generation.
My passion lies in fostering the growth of future leaders.

Let's invest in our youth, providing them with the tools and opportunities they need to become the leaders of tomorrow. Together, we build a future filled with promise and potential.

As a dedicated husband, father, and community member, I stand strong for family values. I believe that the heart of our communities lies in the strength of our families. With a focus on faith, unity, and the well-being of our loved ones, I am unwavering in my commitment to preserving and championing the core values that bind us together. Together, let's defend and uphold the values that make Oklahoma a great place to call home.
