O'Donnell Leads All House Lawmakers In 2020 Freedom Index

Tulsa attorney, Terry O'Donnell, set the high mark for House lawmakers protecting & restoring individual liberties.

  The 2020 House Freedom Index is now published, to compare the lawmakers' commitment to restoring and protecting individual liberties in their powers to create and rescind laws.
  This year a member of the House leadership team Terry O'Donnell of the Tulsa metro delegation, led all scores with a +85, on a spectrum of 100 to +100.
  A person scoring a zero on this index is deemed to vote against freedom in half the scored floor votes.  A score of +50 on this index is equivalent to a +75 on many other indices that do not issue negative index scores.
  Once again, two House freshmen tied in the 2nd spot; along with Rep. Kevin West of the OKC metro delegation. The freshmen were rural lawmakers from eastern Oklahoma, David Hardin, and David Smith.
  Former Democrat, Johnny Tadlock was one of four Republicans tied for the 4th spot, along with Jim Olsen, Sean Roberts, & Judd Strom. Olsen & Strom are in their first 2-year term.  Tadlock completed his 3rd term, Roberts finished his 5th term.
  
  Unlike last year's inaugural index, the two major parties are not as clearly separated. Democrat Merleyn Bell scored 0, but that still put her as high or higher than 26 Republicans. Dell Kerbs was the lowest scoring Republican with a -40, which is worse that the worst Democrat in the 2019 index. Last year's average score was +28.8, but this year's score is a pathetic +6.8, which isn't small govt. creed.
