March 2, 2025 Friends, I hope you all fared well through the brutal cold and the following absolutely beautiful end of February.  Things are pretty similar at the Capitol, some really bleak, dark days and some wonderful where you can see the light!  And like the weather, it’s very unpredictable! Sunny Days I always love to see Tulsans at the Capitol.  Last week, Tulsa Area United Way friends were in town reminding legislators

February 5, 2025 Friends, Monday we returned to the Capitol to kick off our 4 month legislative session. A total of 1,928 House Bills and 1,125 Senate Bills were filed for this session – so we have our work cut out for us but I am very ready!  In these times when things are so unpredictable and rapidly changing, it feels good to focus on things we have at least some

Friends, Stay in the Loop returns for 2025 and the Sixtieth Legislature of the State of Oklahoma!  I am so honored to be returning to the legislature to serve you.  I hope everyone had some time to celebrate the season and is ready for the New Year.  Time most definitely marches on! Back to the Capitol  On Tuesday, we will head back to the House of Representatives Chamber to formally elect leadership and adopt the rules

Friends, I hope everyone is faring okay through the storms.  I’ve seen some downed limbs and people out cleaning up – a tree on my street got struck by lightning last night! It’s hard to believe I am writing my last Stay In the Loop of my first term in the legislature. I hope HD 70 voters are proud of the work we have accomplished together and ready to keep going.  Judging by my own inbox, texts and

Friends, Happy October!  With the election coming up, things are very busy, so much so I’m already eating Halloween candy for dinner.  It’s a very quick clean up and no prep time so plenty of time to get out a quick Stay in the Loop! Among the many things I’ve done lately I wanted to share a photo of the recent groundbreaking of Harrison Energy Partners at 6111 E. 32nd Place.  This commercial HVAC company now

Friends, Welcome to cooler temperatures everybody! It’s just so nice out. I hope everyone can enjoy the new season watching soccer or football, walking the dog, seeing the new Gathering Place bridge and dam – any way you can to remember that the outdoors are not forever miserable. In all things, seasons change! Municipal Elections For the first time since the City of Tulsa Charter changed in 2012, our municipal

Friends, I can’t believe it is September already – which means one thing, we are closing in on the final stretch of my first re-election campaign. I like to keep my communication with you focused on legislative business but with two months to Election Day, I wanted to drop in with a few campaign updates so you are in the know about upcoming events and more. Next Constituent Event I

Friends, I wanted to check in as summer comes to a close. I hope everyone got to enjoy the season in their own way – even if it’s busy, somehow the summer helps me slow down. I try to keep our Stay In The Loop newsletter to legislative business only but suffice it to say I have spent much of my time campaigning and checking in with voters this summer.

Friends, As of yesterday, I had planned to open this edition of Stay in the Loop commenting on the unexpected busy-ness of the summer and the heat but with the assassination attempt on a former president and the stability of our country seemingly so fragile, I know that is what is on everyone’s mind. I feel horrible anytime there is gun violence – whether in a classroom, a movie theater,

Friends, The 59th Session of the Oklahoma Legislature has come to a close, which means I have completed my first two years in office representing the people of House District 70. It has been an absolute honor to do the work of our District and work with all of my colleagues in the legislature. Working together is how we get things done. If I return in November, I will continue

Friends,  We are headed into the final weeks of the 2024 legislative session.  By the Oklahoma Constitution, the legislature must adjourn by the last day in May.  While I am finishing my first term, many legislators are term limited and/or running for another office and will not return to the House. The constantly shifting dynamics of a body of people that have to run every two years and then get

Friends, I hope everyone is faring well after last night’s storm. The massive damage in Sulphur makes me so sad – I love that area and Sulphur is just such a great Oklahoma town. If you’ve been to the Chickasaw National Recreation Area, you know something of the beauty and history there.  Plus The Poor Girls Cafe has the best  biscuits you’ve ever had in your life. Truly my heart

Friends, Politics are in full swing at the Oklahoma Capitol with filibuster antics and power struggles galore. The standoffs bring to mind the Will Rogers joke,  “One Senator threatened to read the Bible into the record as part of his speech, and I guess he would have done it if somebody in the Capitol had had a Bible.” Well, the Bible still hasn’t been found and things are definitely gummed

Friends, I can’t believe three weeks of session have passed. Time has gone very quickly since session began on February 5.  I have been back and forth and back and forth between the District and the Capitol a lot in these first few weeks and though sometimes I am wondering what day it is, I am still excited and ready to do the work of representing our district.  Topics of

Friends, We are off and running for our second legislative session together. Tomorrow we will hear the State of the State where the Governor will articulate his priorities for the year and a proposed budget. From there we will head right into the work of pushing bills through the legislative process. It’s a new beginning and I head in with a positive, collaborative and pragmatic attitude! Session Talk This session

Dear Constituent,  Happy New Year! If we have not met yet, I’m Suzanne Schreiber, your State Representative. I was elected in 2022 and have served one year of my two-year term. My job is to represent you and your tax dollars at the Oklahoma State Capitol. I work hard to make decisions that put people over politics and solve real problems faced by Oklahomans. As I gear up for the

Friends, Well, we aren’t as speakerless as Washington, DC but we do have our own dysfunction here in Oklahoma.  In this Stay in the Loop, I share a little on the recent special session (i.e. the dysfunction) and other recent and upcoming happenings. Special Session  As you probably know, the Governor called the legislature in for a special session to address tax cuts that would put Oklahoma on the path to zero
