When I once asked Dr. James Taylor, “Who are you, and what is your campaign platform?” he didn’t pause or search for a clever slogan. Instead, he simply referred to his book and said, “I am this book.” He was referring to It’s Biblical, Not Political: How to Line Candidates Up Biblically—a clear signal that his campaign isn’t built on rehearsed talking points or political polish. It rests on principles he has already put in writing for every voter to examine. His answer pointed to something different—an identity and a set of principles he had already committed to paper long before he ever filed to run. For Taylor, the book wasn’t a prop. It was a declaration: his beliefs, his framework, and his accountability were already public.
Dr. James Taylor is running to bring trusted leadership to Oklahoma schools through constitutional principles, practical classroom experience, and direct accountability to families. As a History and Government teacher, he believes knowledge is the great equalizer—the tool that breaks cycles of poverty and opens doors for every child.
