Guard Appreciation Day in recognition for their courage and bravery while serving the state and nation in domestic missions and global conflicts.

I want to thank the 8,600 men and women who serve and everyone else who has defended our state and nation.

Over the past several weeks, the focus has been on education funding. In February, the House passed House Bills 2775 and 1935, which was our proposal to give tax credits to parents who want educational choices for their children, but that also built in teacher pay raises with additional funding so local public schools could increase support personnel if they so desired.

This plan did a great job investing in education for all Oklahoman children. However, the Senate disagreed with our proposals and made several significant amendments to the two bills.

House Republicans are interested in an education plan that provides opportunity and funding for all Oklahoma students, regardless of where they live in the state.

I am thankful and honored that the constituents of House District 31 have entrusted me with the responsibility of serving in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any concerns at 405-5577350 or collin.duel@okhouse.gov.

Rep. Collin Duel, a Republican, serves District 31 in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, which covers Logan and Oklahoma counties or or
