Kate Barnard Day; May 23.
HR 1025 is a commemorative resolution designating May 23 as "Kate Barnard Day" in Oklahoma. It honors Kate Barnard, Oklahoma's first woman elected to statewide office (Commissioner of Charities, 1907), recognizing her advocacy for justice, equity, and foundational work in social services, corrections, and Native American land restitution. The resolution directs copies to be distributed to the Oklahoma Historical Society, the Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women, and Saint Joseph Old Cathedral. This procedural measure does not create new laws or affect specific groups but formally commemorates Barnard's legacy for all Oklahomans.
