Tom Gann stands where Oklahoma values still matter: no lobbyist money, no lobbyist gifts, no strings attached. He reads the bills, exposes the bad deals, and fights for taxpayers when insiders would rather keep quiet.
"When you don't take their money, you don't owe them anything."
Tom Gann's record is direct and documented: he rejects insider pressure, reads the bills, fights utility hikes and corporate welfare, and works to drag hidden conduct into the open.
In a Capitol culture built around catered meals, favors, and pressure from insiders, Gann always draws a clear line and refuses to play along. He does not live the Capitol nightlife. Instead, he reads the bills, catches bad proposals, and leads the House in voting no.
Gann did not just fight utility rate increases in the Legislature. When he saw what he believed was corruption, he personally went to the Oklahoma Supreme Court to challenge the conduct at the Corporation Commission.
The Oklahoma Constitution's Conservative Index, the gold standard of legislative grading since 1979, has regularly awarded Gann a 100% conservative score, reflecting his consistent voting record and commitment to the conservative principles of the people of House District 8.
Gann has built a reputation for studying legislation line by line and spotting the problems others miss before they become expensive mistakes.
Gann warned early about risky corporate welfare schemes like Canoo and was proven right when the deal collapsed.
He consistently argues that government should stop picking winners and losers and stop shifting private risk onto the public.
Gann is known for being willing to stand against bad proposals instead of drifting with the Capitol crowd.
Because he does not take lobbyist money or gifts, Gann can confront insiders when others stay quiet.
Gann's work is rooted in a simple premise: House District 8 comes before the interests that profit from big government.
Tom Gann's priorities are grounded in smaller government, taxpayer protection, clean government, rural Oklahoma, and conservative values. Click any issue to read his full position.
Tom Gann has always been independent-minded. In his 20s, he owned his own gas stations and learned early that numbers matter, waste matters, and excuses do not balance the books.
Later, as an auditor for the Tulsa Airport Authority, he sharpened the habit that still defines him: read the fine print, follow the paper trail, and ask who benefits when a deal does not smell right.
That same auditor mindset now serves House District 8. At the Capitol, Gann keeps track of special interest schemes, catches bad proposals buried in legislation, and repeatedly exposes them on behalf of the people he represents.
Owning his own gas stations taught Gann discipline, independence, and respect for every dollar.
At the Tulsa Airport Authority, he developed the detail-first habit of checking the books and catching what others miss.
In the House, that same mindset helps him spot special-interest schemes and expose them before taxpayers pay the price.
