Carroll Asséo

Carroll Asseo, a Democrat, is campaigning for the Oklahoma House of Representatives, District 53, in the 2026 election. She advanced directly to the November 3, 2026, general election after the Democratic primary was canceled. Asseo's decision to run is driven by a desire to improve Oklahoma's educational system, which she has observed decline from 17th to 50th in the nation. Her key policy positions focus on strengthening public schools through Rainy Day Fund investments and class size reduction, ensuring affordable and accessible healthcare by funding hospitals and utilizing federal partnerships, and reducing costs for families by combating corporate greed and predatory fees. She also advocates for better jobs and higher wages through economic diversification and by supporting workers' rights, aiming to build a stable future for working families.
