A Message from

State Representative Gerrid Kendrix

Dear Friends,

It is an honor to serve neighbors across Greer, Harmon, Jackson, and Kiowa counties as your State Representative for Oklahoma House District 52.

As a CPA in public practice for over 30 years, and one of only two CPA serving in the State Legislature, I have focused much of my efforts in assisting our legislative body as we work through this very difficult economic time. Planning, forecasting, budgeting and navigating complicated tax codes are foundational activities every day in my business, along with studying ways to be more efficient and cutting waste - and the bills I filed reflected priorities that were important for our district and for our state’s stability and growth.

I believe that we can achieve long term stability in our economy while also protecting and promoting our Constitutional freedoms. It is important even in uncertain times like these that we protect those that are more vulnerable, while also respecting an individual’s freedom to operate their business, provide for their livelihood, and enjoy the full blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness passed down to us by our great nation’s founders.

As we move forward, I ask for your prayers, support, and vote. In every decision, I will continue to vote to secure Oklahoma’s positioning to be safer, more prosperous, and more free now than at any other time in state history.

In Service,

Gerrid Kendrix

State Representative House District 52

As the Administrative Rules Chairman, Gerrid Kendrix is committed to ensuring that we no longer have agencies writing rules that go beyond what was intended.

“When we let rules slip through without debate or oversight, we hand legislative power to anonymous, unelected administrators….this year, we drew a line. As chair of the House Administrative Rules Committee, I worked with colleagues to pass a sweeping reform package to restore accountability, transparency and common sense to the rulemaking process.”

In 2025, under Kendrix’s chairmanship, the House adopted six joint resolutions disapproving specific agency-submitted rules—covering Education (OSDE), Securities, the Medical Marijuana Authority, OMES, plus Energy, Agriculture, Wildlife, Judicial and Public Safety, and Health—after agencies submitted more than 5,600 pages of rules from 62 entities

These disapprovals uniformly passed unanimously or nearly so, signaling strong bipartisan support and legislative discipline under his leadership.

TO OUR ALTUS AIR FORCE BASE COMMUNITY:

I am honored to stand with our Airmen and families at Altus AFB. Our community is proud to host the 97th Air Mobility Wing and the advanced training mission that supports freedom around the world. From spouse and family support to housing and infrastructure, I’m committed to practical steps that improve quality of life for those who serve. Recent visits and events have highlighted how closely our base, schools, employers, and civic leaders work together to keep Altus strong. In the months ahead, I’ll continue partnering with local leaders to support workforce pathways, streamline licensing where appropriate, and strengthen the base–community connection. To every Airman and family member: thank you. Please reach out if my office can help.
