Oklahoma lawmakers are officially back at the capitol for the 2026 legislative session, and thousands of bills are up for debate — from economic investment and education reform to data center oversight and AI regulation.
From joining legislative programs to contacting lawmakers, Tulsans can get involved with this year’s legislative session in a variety of ways. Here are a few options.
Find out who represents you
Tulsans can find out who their legislators are through the official Oklahoma legislature website. On the site, users can search for state representatives and senators by address.
You can also check the Oklahoma Voter Portal website. This site gives a list of all Oklahoma elected officials. Think tank Oklahoma Policy Institute also provides tools for users to find their respective elected officials.
Tulsa residents can also find out who represents them by searching through the Tulsa-City County Public Library website. The site also gives information on how many representatives and senators there are in Oklahoma and allows users to track the status of proposed bills by connecting to the state legislature page.
Contact your legislator
Residents can contact their state lawmakers about proposed legislation by calling, emailing or visiting their primary district offices locally.
Tulsans can also sign up to participate in committee meetings at the state capitol or work with advocacy groups by contacting the governor’s office. People can arrive early to sessions to sign up on-site or by contacting specific committee staff.
You can sign up for email and text alerts from your lawmaker on proposed bills through the Legislative Electronic Notification System (LENS) website. You must first create an account with a valid email address here.
Attend, watch committee meetings
Legislative committee meetings happen between Feb. 2 and May 29, when the 2026 session officially ends. Tulsans can attend in person at the state capitol in Oklahoma City or watch live streams on the state’s page. Public testimony at times can be limited.
Committee meetings and sessions can vary, with Senate committee meetings occurring Monday through Thursday and often scheduled for the morning or early afternoon.
Tulsans can visit the Oklahoma House of Representatives website and the Oklahoma Senate website for specific times and locations.
