OCPA reacts to the Oklahoma Ethics Commission’s rejection of political speech regulation

After the Oklahoma Ethics Commission declined to take action on its proposed Rule 2019-02, which would have regulated political speech, Trent England, Executive Vice President of the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs (OCPA), released the following statement:

“The commissioners deserve thanks for listening to the outpouring of concern from Oklahomans and for rejecting this ill-conceived and unconstitutional proposal to regulate free speech.

“Although this proposal is dead for 2019, mission creep and expansion of government will no doubt come up again in years to come.”
