House of Representatives
He is the chair of the House Judiciary - Criminal Committee.[5][when?] His Vice Chair is Collin Duel.
In 2024, the Oklahoma House passed a bill, authored by Tammy West and Todd Gollihare, that would "do away with the $40 monthly probation fees typically paid during the first two years of an individual's probation," though Gentner Drummond said the District Attorneys Council was "in compliance with the law." Drummond noted, however, "that the Legislature had earlier increased funding to district attorneys to offset losses of offender fees being redirected to the state's general revenue fund." Only representative Rande Worthen voted against the bill in the House.[6]
He voted against HB 3329 which still passed the house floor. It is intended to provide free menstrual products in school bathrooms.[7] He voted in favor of a bill that would require adults to show and ID before accessing porn sites.[8]
