FACT: SQ 832 ties Oklahoma’s minimum wage to the cost of living in Los Angeles and San Francisco

  • SQ 832 raises Oklahoma’s minimum wage to $15 an hour, but it doesn’t stop there...

  • SQ 832 continues raising Oklahoma’s minimum wage every year after that, based on a national cost-of-living index for big cities, which means politicians in California will set the minimum wage in Oklahoma

FACT: SQ 832 will hammer Oklahoma small businesses

  • SQ 832 will force many Oklahoma small businesses to cut hours and benefits for their employees

  • SQ 832 will directly impact at least 8 out of every 10 small businesses in Oklahoma

  • SQ 832 directly targets farmers and ranchers by removing longstanding protections for family farms

FACT: SQ 832 will kill jobs and raise prices across Oklahoma, hurting the people it claims to help

  • In states like California with the same minimum wage structure as SQ 832, the first jobs eliminated are entry-level jobs for younger and low-skilled workers, including teenagers

  • SQ 832 will hit small business jobs the hardest, while large national corporations will absorb the costs by replacing employees with automation 

  • SQ 832 will raise prices on essentials like groceries, fuel, medication and child care, beyond what Oklahoma families and senior citizens are already seeing

DON'T CALIFORNIA MY OKLAHOMA!

ON JUNE 16, 2026, VOTE NO ON SQ 832
