On April 2, NonDoc reached out for comment from all 29 Oklahoma lawmakers who voted against HB 1010XX, the $400 million revenue package that will fund an average $6,100 teacher pay raise and restore some education funding to classrooms. By day’s end, 26 of those representatives and senators had answered questions about their votes.

Less than two weeks later, candidate filing for the 2018 election cycle ran Wednesday through Friday while educators, parents and advocates filled the Capitol, campaigning for further funding increases.

Below, you can find the legislators who opposed HB 1010XX and the 102 candidates who hope to hold those seats come the 2019 session. Lawmakers are listed in order of district number.
