I believe life is precious and I am pro-life.
I believe the Second Amendment means exactly what it says, that "the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
I believe that the Tenth Amendment is not shown the deference it deserves. The Powers not delegated to the Federal Government belong to the Several States, and to the People.
I believe that deciding which companies fail and which companies succeed is not a decision for the Federal Government.
I believe, as does Chief Justice Roberts, that the best way to stop discriminating is to stop discriminating,
I believe that all mankind was created equal and that the government should provide equal protection under the law, not equal possessions. It would be an injustice for the government to redistribute wealth.

District 2 Candidate for Congress Dan Arnett

Daniel Allen (Dan) Arnett was born in Okmulgee County on July 10, 1984, the middle son of James and Bettina Arnett, and spent his formative years growing up in Henryetta where he learned the value of hard work from his studies in the Henryetta School System as well as in the Church of Christ, of which he is a member.

After graduation from Henryetta High School, Dan worked to make ends meet and, like the rest of his brothers, paid his own way through college arriving at Oklahoma Christian University in 2003. While at Oklahoma Christian, Dan spent a semester studying history, art, and philosophy in Vienna, Austria. During this trip, he spent a lot of time conversing with the locals of whichever country he was in, seeking their true opinion of America and seeing firsthand how our liberty and freedom sets us apart.

He also served as Treasurer of the Student Government.

After earning a Bachelor's in History and Political Science, Dan received his Juris Doctorate at Drexel University in Philadelphia in Constitutional Law. Balancing between his off-time here at home and spending his law school years in the same city where the founders built this great nation was a very unique experience; an experience that has filled Dan with a passion to make sure the people he grew up around, the citizens of the Great State of Oklahoma, can maintain their rights and their liberties.

Dan has gained a wide range of experience in the area of criminal law, seeing it from both sides while working with the Public Defender's Association in Philadelphia and with the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office. Dan does not see the role of the defense counsel as to "get someone off the hook necessarily" but to see that the rule of law is upheld.

Dan is ready to work harder than ever before to fight for the people he is ready to represent. With your blessing, Dan Arnett will go to Washington and be the outsider that is needed to help bring about "real" change.
