Jo Anna Dossett

Biography

Jo Anna Dossett is seeking re-election for Senate District 35. She will fight any measure that attempts to defund public education and will advocate for all measures that would restore pre-recession funding levels to our public schools. All District 35 voters deserve to get the care they need at a price they can afford, and she will tirelessly advocate for that at our state capitol. She says that it’s time to end our dependence on incarceration, and enact smart, rehabilitative measures which will simultaneously reduce prison costs, facilitate recovery in our offenders and their families, and promote public safety. At the Capitol, she will advocate for reducing or even eliminating cash bail for non-violent crimes. Additionally, she says that issues that disproportionately affect women and children will be her top priorities. Whether the issue is inadequate education funding, limited access to healthcare and poor health outcomes, or excessive incarceration, Oklahoma’s challenges acutely affect the women and children living here. Rising maternal mortality rates, high infant mortality rates, and low life expectancy for women at birth are not trademarks by which we should be known. Dossett believes that healthy infants, educated children, and strong women equipped to contribute to our state’s growth and prosperity, should be our standard.
