The Oklahoman — Bill that dramatically changes initiative, referendum process clears Senate committee

The Oklahoman recently wrote that GableGotwals shareholder Robert McCampbell is a "nationally recognized expert on the U.S. Constitution." The piece further explained that Robert is an Oklahoma City attorney who specializes in constitutional law. The article in The Oklahoman concerned SB 1027 (2025) which would impose certain restrictions on gathering signatures for an initiative petition. The article quoted McCampbell, stating “The courts are unanimous that circulating a petition is ‘core political speech’ where First Amendment protection is at its ‘zenith.’” The article further quoted McCampbell, stating "'The restrictions on core political speech embodied in SB 1027 cannot survive scrutiny under the First Amendment.'"

GableGotwals Obtains Unanimous Reversal in Oklahoma Supreme Court

GableGotwals obtained a significant victory in the Oklahoma Supreme Court for its client, the Jackson County Emergency Medical Service District.
