Congressman Frank Lucas is a fifth generation Oklahoman whose family has lived and farmed in Oklahoma for over 120 years. Born on January 6, 1960 in Cheyenne, Oklahoma, Lucas graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1982 with a degree in Agricultural Economics. He was first elected to the United States House of Representatives in a special election in 1994.
Lucas proudly represents Oklahoma’s Third Congressional District, which includes all or portions of 32 counties in northern and western Oklahoma, stretching from the Oklahoma panhandle to parts of Tulsa, and from Yukon to Altus in the southwest. It takes up almost half the state’s land mass and is one of the largest agricultural regions in the nation. Lucas has been a crusader for the American farmer since being elected to Congress in 1994 and he has fought to protect Oklahoma values.
I believe you can measure the character of a nation by the way they treat their veterans. Our Nation’s veterans made tremendous sacrifices to ensure Americans enjoy freedom and peace at the end of each day. Congress must keep its promises to our veterans who have served our country with honor.
I am committed to fighting for those who fought for our freedoms. We must ensure all veterans receive the benefits they earned and deserve- including access to affordable, high quality health care.
Oklahoma is home to a system of crucial V.A. facilities and more than 300,000 men and women who have served the United States in the Armed Forces. Congress must fulfill its obligations to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, which is why I stand ready to provide America’s soldiers and veterans the best possible care we can.
