§2Who they are

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Curtis Stinnett was born and raised in Oklahoma and grew up in Lindsay, south of Oklahoma City.2 He earned a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford and has worked as a retail and community pharmacist, practicing across southern Oklahoma from Ardmore before moving to Tulsa in 2019.2
Why they say they're running
His campaign website says he is running because, after years in health care, he will no longer wait for someone else to stand up for neighbors who are being taken advantage of.2 The site says his campaign accepts no donations because it sees money in politics as the main obstacle to better government.3

§3What they've said on the issues
Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.
Health Care
His campaign website says he would switch the country to a Medicare for All system, folding Medicaid, TRICARE and VA coverage into Medicare.4
- One government plan for everyone (Medicare for All)
- Add a government plan that anyone can choose to buy
- Keep the current mix of private and public coverage, including the ACA
- Fewer federal insurance rules and more private plan choices, with aid paid to individuals
Economy, Jobs and Trade
His campaign website proposes tying the federal minimum wage to the MIT Living Wage Calculator for a single adult, set county by county and updated every January, and says he would vote for any measure raising the minimum wage.5
- Keep at $7.25 or leave to states
- Raise it to less than $15, such as $10 or $12
- Raise to $15 or more
Abortion and Reproductive Health
His campaign website calls for codifying Roe v. Wade, says he would oppose making abortion illegal, and says he would advocate for women's right to end a pregnancy while working to reduce unintended pregnancies.6
- A national law making abortion legal in every state, at least until viability, as under Roe v. Wade
- Leave abortion law to each state
- A national law limiting abortion (for example, after 15 weeks of pregnancy)
Elections and Government Reform
His campaign website calls overturning the Citizens United decision its most important goal, and supports ending corporate campaign donations, public financing of elections and a constitutional amendment.7
- Limit spending by outside groups, including by amending the Constitution to overturn Citizens United
- Keep spending unlimited but require groups to name their major donors
- Keep current rules
- Raise or remove limits on donations to candidates and parties
Immigration
His campaign website says he agrees with removing noncitizens who commit crimes but criticizes current ICE practices, including detentions at court appearances and naturalization ceremonies and deportations without due process, and says he would vote against ICE funding while those practices continue and for taking back funding from ICE as it now operates.8
His campaign website says he would support raising immigration quotas and adding court resources to clear the backlog of immigration cases.8
- Admit more immigrants, such as by adding work visas or clearing family backlogs
- Keep green cards and work visas near recent levels
- Admit fewer immigrants than in recent years
- Pause most new legal immigration for a time
Foreign Policy and Defense
His campaign website says the United States should stop all military aid to Israel until its campaign in Gaza and the West Bank ends and it begins to make restitution, and only after a change from the government led by Benjamin Netanyahu.9
§4Financial disclosures
Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
Senate candidates and senators file with the Senate's own disclosure system, which asks each visitor to agree to its terms before searching, so we can't link straight to a filing. You can search for Curtis Stinnett at efdsearch.senate.gov10.
