Oklahoma Policy Institute

Oklahoma Policy Institute

OK Policy was founded in 2008 by David Blatt, Vincent LoVoi, and Steven Dow. It grew out of the public policy department of the Community Action Project of Tulsa County, where Blatt had been Director of Public Policy. Blatt began his tenure at OK Policy as Director of Policy. In 2010, Blatt replaced Matt Guillory as Executive Director, and the organization's main office was moved from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Tulsa. Through 2010, Blatt was the organization's only full-time employee. In 2011, two additional full-time staff members were hired.[1] In 2012, Oklahoma Policy Institute hired an Outreach Coordinator.

According to its website, OK Policy, "promotes adequate, fair, and fiscally responsible funding of public services and expanded opportunity for all Oklahomans by providing timely and credible information, analysis, and ideas"[3] and "our core commitments are to the adequate, fair, and fiscally responsible funding of public services, and to an economy that provides shared prosperity through increased economic opportunity and financial security for all. Our main issue areas are: state budget and tax issues; programs serving low- and moderate-income Oklahomans; and policies promoting financial security and prosperity."
