Abortion & Reproductive Rights

She has received top pro-life ratings and endorsements from national pro-life groups and has a legislative record of voting for measures described as defending the unborn.

AINews Summary
Last updatedJun 11, 2026
Stephanie Bice is in the news because she was mentioned as a possible candidate for Oklahoma’s open Senate seat after Markwayne Mullin was nominated for Homeland Security secretary. The latest update is that Bice says she will not run for the Senate seat in 2026 and will instead seek re-election in her House district. Her decision clears the way for other Republicans, including Kevin Hern, to move ahead in the race.
