"House District 11 needs a leader who both listens to every voice and has a vision for the district. Oklahoma needs a fresh perspectives from community conversations to strengthen us for the 21st century," says Emilie Tindle--the Democrat candidate for that seat. 
 
Emilie Tindle appeared Friday on COMMUNITY CONNECTION to make her case for the seat: Responsible government, education, healthcare, agency reform, and economic development are vital components of building a better Oklahoma.
 
Tindle is very passionate on the issues regarding education, health care and labor-not only for District 11, but for all of Oklahoma.
 
Tindle says she is running to bring better policies to the state house. Making Oklahoma a vibrant state for families and businesses to thrive is her top priority for HD 11.
 
She grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Early on, she learned the values of faith and hard work from her tight-knit family and local community.
 
A 2014 alumnus of Tulsa Technology Center’s Vision Care Technologies program, Tindle tells us she has worked in healthcare as an eye doctor’s assistant in Oklahoma, Kansas, and across the Midwest. Changing career directions, she recently revamped a social media program for a small Oklahoma business. 
 
Through each of her experiences, Emilie says that learned the importance of advocacy for all people, experienced the necessity of regular access to preventative healthcare, and saw firsthand the structural problems of our current systems. With her working class background, Emilie understands the need for good employer-employee relations and the necessity of fair negotiation in the workplace. As Oklahoma faces new challenges in 2020, Emilie knows that innovation, economic diversity, and investment in people are vital to Oklahoma’s present stability and future success.
 
Tindle’s dream for Oklahoma is best practices in business-employee relationships, a robust healthcare system that benefits all Oklahomans, and education funding with strategies that guarantee each student a chance of success.
