Small Business Victory: Oklahomans Reject State Question 832 

June 16, 2026

“Today’s vote preserves the flexibility small businesses need to grow, hire, and invest in the future.”

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (June 16, 2026) – Oklahoma voters have rejected State Question 832, delivering a significant victory for Main Street businesses, family farms, and job creators across the state. سԹ State Director Jerrod Shouse issued a statement:

“This is a major victory for Main Street Oklahomans and family farms,” Shouse said. “Throughout this campaign, small business owners made their concerns about State Question 832 clear: higher labor costs would ultimately lead to higher prices and reduced opportunities for entry-level workers. The voters heard those concerns and stood up for Main Street.

“Oklahoma’s small businesses understand their employees are their greatest asset, which is why many already pay wages well-above the current minimum. Today’s vote preserves the flexibility small businesses need to grow, hire, and invest in the future.

“We appreciate the voters who took the time to learn about the unintended consequences of this initiative and are grateful to the countless small business owners who shared their stories through this campaign. سԹ remains committed to advancing policies that strengthen the Oklahoma economy and allow small businesses to thrive.”

Background:

In May 2026, سԹ launched a statewide campaign urging Oklahoma voters to vote no on State Question 832. Visit ProtectOKSmallBusiness.org for more information on the campaign.
