Claremore council endorses Tulsa Regional Chamber 'One Voice' legislative agenda
Summary
The council unanimously endorsed the Tulsa Regional Chamber's 2025 state and federal legislative agenda, a regional 'One Voice' package focusing on infrastructure, economic development, health care workforce and housing priorities.
The Claremore City Council voted to endorse the Tulsa Regional Chamber’s 2025 state and federal legislative agenda, a regional "One Voice" package that aggregates priorities for area governments and agencies.
City staff explained the process: the Chamber convenes committees on topics such as energy, education, capital improvements and infrastructure, then assembles a unified list for regional advocacy. The manager told the council the agenda contains items on economic development incentives, historical and Indian land tax credits, health-care workforce expansion, affordable housing and child care, and some items touching landlord-tenant law.
The manager said Claremore has participated in past 'One Voice' agendas and that endorsement does not imply agreement with every detail of the packet; rather it allows the region to present a consolidated set of priorities at the state and federal level. Council members moved, seconded and approved the endorsement by roll call.
Next steps: the endorsed agenda will be included with regional materials submitted by the Tulsa Regional Chamber to state and federal legislators; council members did not propose local amendments during the meeting.
