Sen. Julia Kirt’s Press Releases

OKLAHOMA CITY – Senate Democratic Leader Julia Kirt has filed a slate of bills to increase available affordable housing in the state. Oklahoma is 77,000 housing units short statewide for current workforce, even without increases in population. Almost a third of Oklahomans are cost-burdened when trying to pay for renting or owning a home, which holds back economic growth.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Senate Democratic Leader Julia Kirt has filed a trio of bills for the 2026 session to make insurance rates in Oklahoma more affordable. Kirt, D-Oklahoma City, said her bills were the result of stories from her own constituents about challenges they faced as well as from Oklahomans across the state. Kirt said those concerns were backed up by an interim study she held last fall on insurance rates.
