Dusty Deevers is trying to turn his seat in the Oklahoma Senate into a launching pad for a full-blown far-right culture war. A self-described Christian nationalist, Deevers has built his political brand around criminalizing LGBTQ+ expression, punishing women who seek abortions, undermining public education, and amplifying extremist conspiracy theories.
Elected in a December 2023 special election with just 55% of the vote, Deevers quickly abandoned any pretense of representing all constituents. Instead, he has spent his time in office pushing a fringe agenda: banning drag shows, eliminating divorce rights, prosecuting abortion as homicide, and dismantling protections for LGBTQ+ youth and families.
Now, in a district that’s far less extreme than he is, Dusty Deevers is up for re-election — and Agenda PAC is watching, organizing, and exposing his extremism to make sure he’s held accountable.
Key Vulnerabilities
Extensive Anti-LGBTQ+ Agenda:
Filed Senate Bill 550 to criminalize drag performances, directly targeting LGBTQ+ culture under the guise of protecting minors.
Supports dismantling DEI programs that protect LGBTQ+ students and public employees.
Advocates a “moral restoration” platform hostile to LGBTQ+ rights, marriage equality, and queer visibility.
Punishing Reproductive Rights:
Authored the Abolition of Abortion Act, which would allow the death penalty for abortion patients and providers.
Publicly opposed exceptions even for rape and incest, aligning with the most extreme wing of the anti-choice movement.
Ties to Christian Nationalism and Far-Right Movements:
Closely affiliated with “abortion abolitionist” groups and Christian Reconstructionist activists.
Framed his legislative mission as “obeying Christ in public office.”
Extreme Anti-Education and Public Health Positions:
Pushed bills banning inclusive sex education, comprehensive health education, and any reference to LGBTQ+ issues in schools.
Proposed bills to weaken vaccine protections and public health authority.
Political Liability Even Among Republicans:
His key bills — criminalizing abortion as homicide and ending no-fault divorce — were voted down by Oklahoma’s GOP-led Judiciary Committee.
His narrow margin of victory in 2023 signals electoral weakness in a district that doesn’t fully share his radical agenda.
Dusty Deevers has built his political career on division, extremism, and far-right grievance politics—and now he’s trying to take that agenda even deeper into Oklahoma law. A Christian nationalist pastor turned state senator, Deevers isn’t just holding office—he’s threatening to dismantle basic freedoms across the state.
He has:
A long public record of anti-LGBTQ+ extremism, sponsoring bills to criminalize drag shows, dismantle DEI programs, and attack inclusive education.
Pushed conspiracy theories comparing public health efforts to Nazi eugenics and echoed election distrust rhetoric.
Introduced legislation to prosecute women for abortions, end no-fault divorce, and inject religious extremism into public law.
