We are continuing our series of interviews highlighting some of our Oklahoma State Legislators and the work, advocacy, policy collaboration, and/or learning they are doing for Oklahomans with disabilities.

This week, we welcome Senator Julia Kirt!

Senator Kirt represents Oklahoma State Senate District 30. She is a fierce advocate for people who live with disabilities, inclusive/special education, mental health, finding solutions to help and serve people who are homeless/unhoused, and inclusive employment/fair inclusive wages.

Senator Kirt joins us to share her journey to the legislature, her personal connection to her service, inclusion for people with disabilities, the bills and initiatives being developed to serve people with disabilities as well as other advocacy sectors, the legacy she hopes to leave as she pursues her last term, and more!
