“I represent the next generation of leadership—one that puts people over profit, community over corporations, and truth over politics.”

— N’kiyla Jasmine Thomas For US Senate

I am running for the United States Senate for Oklahoma to build a country where survivors are protected, families are supported, healthcare is accessible, work is respected and no one is left behind because of disability, income, gender, or zip code.

This campaign is about using every tool available to a U.S. Senator, legislation, funding, oversight, and coalition building, to deliver real, measurable change.

POLICIES, ISSUES & CAUSES I SUPPORT:

Education

Education should prepare children for life — not politics.

I will fight to:

  • Reduce class sizes and expand early intervention

  • Reduce overreliance on standardized testing

  • Guarantee free breakfast and lunch for all students

  • Fully fund special education

  • Ensure competitive teacher pay and retention

  • Keep partisan politics out of classrooms

Economic Justice & Cost of Living

No one working full time should struggle to survive.

I will fight for:

  • A living wage minimum wage

  • Strong price gouging protections

  • Investment in affordable housing

  • Farm to table food program

  • Food access as a basic right

  • Emergency housing and utility relief

Healthcare & Public Health

Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege.

I will work to:

  • Protect and expand the Affordable Care Act

  • Expand rural healthcare, including OBGYN access, pediatric specialists, and emergency services

  • Treat environmental protection as public health policy

  • Rein in private insurers managing Medicaid

  • Guarantee emergency reproductive and trauma care

  • Expand hospice, palliative care, and long-term care beds

Reproductive Rights & Women’s Health

Decisions about pregnancy belong to patients, not politicians.

I will fight to:

  • Restore Roe v. Wade federally

  • Protect women from prosecution for miscarriage or pregnancy complications

  • Guarantee care for survivors of rape, incest, and trafficking

  • Address Black maternal mortality through targeted funding and culturally competent care

Childcare & Family Support

Families cannot thrive without reliable childcare.

I will push for:

  • Universal, affordable childcare — including 24/7 options

  • Treating childcare as federal infrastructure

  • Paid family and medical leave

  • Step-down childcare assistance to eliminate income cliffs

  • Childcare access for students, military families, and shift workers.

Foster Care & Child Welfare

Children in care deserve stability, safety, and connection.

I will fight for:

  • Federal foster care oversight standards

  • Caseworker caseload caps

  • Kinship placement protections

  • Sibling connection rights

  • Foster-to-family transition support

Environmental Protection

Clean water and clean air are non-negotiable.

I will fight to:

  • Strengthen the Clean Water Act

  • Protect tribal water sovereignty

  • Hold polluters accountable

  • Invest in rural water infrastructure

Civil Rights & LGBTQIA+ Protections

Civil rights must be protected not debated.

I will:

  • Codify marriage equality

  • Expand anti-discrimination protections

  • Protect trans youth and their families

  • Safeguard voting access for disabled Americans

Credit, Housing & Consumer Protection

The system should not trap people in permanent debt.

I support:

  • A Credit Renewal Act to reset credit every five years

  • Forgiveness of old debt after consistent payments

  • Hardship protections for medical crises or job loss

  • Accountability for predatory lenders

  • Strong protections against exploitative landlords

Military Families & Veterans

Service should never mean sacrifice without support.

I will work to:

  • Ensure fair military pay that reflects real family costs

  • Fix inaccurate BAH and BAS calculations

  • Protect military spouse employment

  • Expand childcare access during deployments

  • Improve staffing and access in veteran healthcare systems

Workers’ Rights & Labor

Work should provide stability. Not burnout.

I support:

  • 32 hour, full pay workweek pilot programs

  • A right to disconnect from work after hours

  • Flexible scheduling protections

  • Safe staffing ratios for healthcare workers

  • Paid leave and caregiver protections

Disability & Autism Advocacy

Disabled Americans deserve access, dignity, and support across their lifespan.

I will:

  • Expand autism and disability services nationwide

  • Reduce therapy waitlists and enforce insurance coverage

  • Strengthen IEP enforcement and accountability

  • Protect Social Security and disability benefits

  • End SSA clawbacks and modernize outdated disability standards

  • Expand respite care and family support services

Survivor Safety & Violence Prevention

Survivors deserve protection, not punishment.

I will fight to:

  • Expand the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to cover friendship-, family-, and roommate-based violence

  • Mandate trauma-informed training for law enforcement, EMS, and first responders

  • Protect survivors from criminalization for self-defense or survival

  • Strengthen protections for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW)

  • Establish rideshare violence reporting and accountability standards

  • Expand post-assault recovery services including therapy, housing, and legal aid

This platform reflects what I will fight for every day, in every committee, in every budget negotiation.

Progress does not happen all at once. It happens when leaders are honest, persistent, and unwilling to look away from hard problems.

That is the kind of senator I will be.
