State Question 832 is a permanent, uncapped mandate that will crush small businesses and family farms with price hikes and lost jobs
OKLAHOMA CITY鈥�(May 6, 2026)鈥�鈥� The鈥�网曝吃瓜 (网曝吃瓜), the state鈥檚 leading small business advocacy organization, today launched a statewide campaign urging Oklahoma voters to vote no on State Question 832.
If approved, State Question 832 would mandate permanent, uncapped minimum wage increases, which will drive up prices, eliminate jobs, harm small businesses and family farms, and put Oklahoma at a disadvantage.
鈥淪tate Question 832 will crush our Main Street businesses and family farms, whose costs will increase overnight,鈥� warned 网曝吃瓜 State Director Jerrod Shouse. 鈥淲hile many businesses already pay well-above the current minimum wage, those who don鈥檛 often report that they simply cannot afford to do so. The cost of doing business in rural communities cannot be sustained at the same cost in metro areas. We urge Oklahomans to vote 鈥榥o鈥� on State Question 832.鈥�
