Quote of the Day 6/27/2016

“If we are going to be a state that attracts the brightest and most capable women in the country to work in industry and business, we need to make sure as a state we are showing that we value a woman’s work. The least we can do in that regard is to make sure we have equal pay for equal work in Oklahoma.”
