Jenkins Pledges Support After Wildfire Destruction

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Molly Jenkins, R-Coyle, today expressed her heartfelt sympathy and support to the residents in her district following the recent wildfires that have caused significant damage to the community. "My heart goes out to the people in District 33 affected by these devastating fires," Jenkins said. "I am incredibly grateful to the brave men and women who fought the fires and carried out evacuations, as well as the first responders and emergency personnel who worked tirelessly to protect lives and property. I am praying for the families who have lost their homes and those beginning the difficult process of rebuilding. Recovering from such a loss is never easy, but I have faith in the strength and resilience of our communities. I am committed to supporting these families as they navigate the challenges ahead and ensuring they have the resources needed to rebuild and recover. "The 33 Road Fire remains active, burning nearly 34,000 acres with only 20% containment. I am working with state and local officials to ensure that all of our communities receive the resources and support they need during this challenging time. Our district is strong and resilient, and I have no doubt this community will come together and emerge even stronger."

Jenkins Files Legislation to Defend Property Owners' Rights from Green Energy Attacks

OKLAHOMA CITY – If Rep. Molly Jenkins, R-Coyle, has her way, the people of Oklahoma could soon have the opportunity to cast a key vote in defense of property owners' rights. Jenkins has filed House Joint Resolution 1003, an initiative aimed at ending the abuse of eminent domain by private companies that take government subsidies and leverage them to seize private property. Jenkins introduced the resolution after a private company began approaching landowners in her district, pressuring them to relinquish their property for the construction of a transmission line tied to federally subsidized green energy projects. "The people of Oklahoma believe eminent domain should never be accessible to large, government-subsidized corporations," Jenkins said. "House Joint Resolution 1003 would give people the opportunity to have their voices heard and vote whether to prevent this kind of abuse." If passed by Oklahoma voters, the resolution would amend the State Constitution to ensure that subsidized private companies could no longer use eminent domain to take property. Instead, they would be required to negotiate directly with property owners. The measure would also prohibit wind energy companies from using eminent domain to construct wind turbines. "I trust that my fellow Oklahomans will do the right thing and advance this important proposal swiftly,” Jenkins said. “Oklahoma landowners are currently under duress and they need immediate relief.” Jenkins is urging any constituents who are threatened by the use of eminent domain to take their property to contact her office for assistance. HJR1003 will be eligible for consideration in the upcoming legislative session, which starts Feb. 3. If passed, Oklahomans could see it on the ballot in 2026.

New Bill Seeks to Stop Political Parties from Abusing Taxpayer Dollars

OKLAHOMA CITY – Political parties will be required to honor the will of their electorate or bear the cost when House Bill 1010 , filed this week by Rep. Molly Jenkins, R-Coyle, becomes law. Jenkins filed HB1010 in response to actions by a small group of elite Democrat Party power brokers after they removed the candidate chosen in the March Oklahoma Democrat presidential preferential primary from the ballot. Jenkins' proposal would require political parties to honor the will of their voters or reimburse taxpayers for the cost of the election. "A political party 's access to the taxpayer-funded presidential preference primary is a privilege, not a right," Jenkins explained. "A political party does not have the right to use publicly administered presidential preferential primaries as a facade, misleading its voters with the appearance of a democratic process while party elites secretly make the actual decisions behind the scenes." The presidential preferential primary is part of how a political party selects the presidential candidate it wants to represent the party in the general election. Oklahoma's presidential preferential primary was held March 5 this year. Democrat voters selected Joe Biden to represent them by 72.98% of the vote. Kamala Harris appeared on the Nov. 5 general election ballot. Jenkins, a newly elected representative, said she will be advocating for this and numerous other similar cost-cutting measures in the upcoming sessions. "It's far past time for all of us to take on the role of the Oklahoma Department of Government Efficiency (ODOGE)," Jenkins said. "Taxpayers do not have the luxury of these types of wasteful spending practices that are just a part of the big, pointless, costly game played by the political class. It's time for us to do right by the taxpayers, to cut wasteful public spending and to do so immediately. It's imperative for the newly elected generation of Oklahoma legislators to show that we are up to the task."
