After I joined The Frontier in February, I broke the story on the Oklahoma Department Tourism Department’s questionable spending on Swadley’s Foggy Bottom Kitchen restaurants,
In partnership with Oklahoma Watch, I worked to uncover the mishandling of the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief funds. Some of the federal relief money intended for school supplies was used instead to purchase home appliances and video game consoles.
The Swadley’s story led to a criminal investigation by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, the resignation of the executive director of the Tourism Department and the proposal of a new state law.
This past election cycle, I drove to all corners of the state, covering the contests for Oklahoma’s open U.S Senate and House seats and the gubernatorial race.
On the campaign trail, I watched rural voters in western Oklahoma quiz Gov. Kevin Stitt on his school voucher plan. I reported on the immense amounts of dark money being poured into Oklahoma’s elections. And I wrote about Joy Hofmeister’s less than clear stance on abortion.
All of these stories were made possible through the generosity of our donors. Your donation allows us to produce some of the best journalism in the state. Any dollar amount helps.
