Superintendent Ryan Walters, former OSBE Members form Trump Advisory Committee

Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters and former State Board of Education members Kendra Wesson and Katie Quebedeaux have formed the Trump Advisory Committee, Walters announced Wednesday.

According to a press release from Walters, the group will “continue to fight the liberal D.C. swamp that has now leaked into Oklahoma’s Executive Branch.” Wesson and Quebedeaux will serve as co-chairs.

Quebedeaux, a fourth-generation Oklahoman and graduate of Guymon High School and Oklahoma Panhandle State University, has worked with students from preschool through high school.

“I am proud of our mission on behalf of parents, students, and educators to create a world-class education system in Oklahoma,” Quebedeaux said. “We are prepared to work closely with families, educators, and communities to ensure every Oklahoma child has a bright future and access to the quality education they deserve.”

Wesson, a Caddo Nation member and native Oklahoman, attended nine schools from kindergarten through 12th grade, shaping her perspective on the importance of school choice in rural communities.

“The United States has shown a desire for transparency in government, proven by the presidential election,” Wesson said. “Secrecy in education hurts taxpayers’ pocketbooks, educational outcomes and, most of all, leaves children vulnerable to predatory behaviors in the classroom.”

“The Trump Advisory Committee is not here to play politics,” Walters said. “We are here to fight on behalf of the hearts, minds, and souls of Oklahoma students, their families, and our educators. The weak will be exposed. The corrupt will be held accountable. And Oklahoma’s children will finally have access to the educational journey they deserve.”
