I’m just a dad with a junior looking at OU today, sitting here listening to OU President Joe Harroz selling Oklahoma to families from across the country. I was so impressed with his speech. https://t.co/0pBX27ncxlI’m just a dad with a junior looking at OU today, sitting here listening to OU President Joe Harroz selling Oklahoma to families from across the country.

Great meeting today with @choctawnationOK leaders. Since 2018, Choctaw Country has seen a 50% growth in travel spending & generated $700M, making a huge impact on SE OK. Tourism is the front door to economic development, and the Choctaw Nation’s investment is paying off big time. https://t.co/OLMfRo0yzpGreat meeting today with @choctawnationOK leaders.

Had the pleasure of mtg the great folks from the Twister Museum today. Yep, that’s Dorothy from the movie. 20 plus years later, the museum in Wakita is still a popular tourism attraction for our state. Twister 2 is only going to add to the popularity. 🌪️ #TravelOK https://t.co/TQSTcPhgyeHad the pleasure of mtg the great folks from the Twister Museum today.
