Oklahoma City, OK – 30 years ago today, tragedy struck our community, and 168 beloved Oklahomans were lost in the worst act of homegrown terrorism in our nation’s history. My family and I join with Oklahomans across the state in remembering the innocent lives we lost to the Oklahoma City bombing and the loved ones left behind on that horrible day.

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma House of Representatives today called on Congress to pass a federal version of Oklahoma’s first-of-its-kind tax credit for working family caregivers.
In 2023, Oklahoma became the first state in the nation to implement a comprehensive caregiver tax credit, the Caring for Caregivers Act, offering up to $3,000 annually to qualified residents. Now, lawmakers are urging their federal counterparts to help ease the financial burden on the nearly 490,000 family caregivers across Oklahoma.
Rep. Tammy West, R-Oklahoma City, who proposed the state tax credit, introduced House Concurrent Resolution 1009 on the House floor Monday.
“Whenever someone cares for a loved one, unexpected out-of-pocket expenses inevitably arise,” West said. “Oklahoma led the way in recognizing and supporting this essential work and now we have the chance to lead again by advocating for national relief through the Credit for Caring Act.”
