MARY FALLIN

I have great respect for Oklahoma's tribal members, and I celebrate their traditions and culture.

The history of my state of Oklahoma offers a great example of pursuing the American Dream. It was built and settled by pioneers moving West to seek better lives.

It's my job as governor to set a vision.

As governor, I work in hand in hand with tribal leaders on everything from disaster response to economic development. Tribal governments are important partners to our state government, and I value the good relationships my administration has cultivated with them.

Maybe someday we'll have a woman president. Not me, though.

I've been through so many different political races.

I thought I could make a difference, so I ran for office.

Small businesses are the backbone of Oklahoma's economy, creating a large portion of jobs in our state.

I still believe a majority of Republicans are for income tax cuts.

I started out as a business manager for a national hotel chain based in Oklahoma. I got frustrated with what was happening in the state capital - the high cost of doing business and a lack of educated workers.

What's important to have is a president that's focused on jobs, the economy, giving our children a better future and keeping our nation strong and safe.

Increasing education options will give students greater opportunities to succeed in the classroom and allow students to graduate with skill sets necessary to go to college or into a career.

I just want people in America to know that Oklahoma is a great place to live. You know, just like states have wildfires in California, or earthquakes or they may have other tornadoes in other areas of the - of the country, you know, this is really a great, great state. Our economy is doing beautifully, and the people are wonderful.
