Oklahoma’s small towns are the backbone of our state. That’s why Okies First champions infrastructure upgrades, small business investment, and job growth that reaches beyond our urban centers.
Rural infrastructure lags behind — roads, broadband, utilities and business parks are aging or absent.
Small businesses often lack access to capital, mentorship, or resources compared to their urban counterparts.
Job opportunities in rural areas are limited, leading to out-migration and hollowed-out towns.
Live in a small Oklahoma town? Let’s build its future together. Share your priorities, join our rural-development working group, and let’s unlock prosperity in every county.
