Warren Hamilton is an American politician and retired military officer serving as a member of the Oklahoma Senate from the 7th district.
[2] Hamilton served in the United States Army from 1989 to 2005, including as a platoon leader and company commander.
"[9] In 2024, Dusty Deevers and Hamilton "spoke in favor of stricter laws at a rally organized by the groups Abolitionists Rising and Abolish Abortion Oklahoma at the state Capitol in early February.
"[10] Deevers authored a bill, cosponsored by Hamilton, "classifying abortion as homicide, which allows both doctors and mothers to be prosecuted."
They could "face up to the death penalty if charged with first-degree murder, though the bill makes exceptions to save the life of the mother and for spontaneous miscarriages."
"[16] In 2024, he co-authored with Jim Grego House bill 3749[17] and Senate bill 1427,[18] to carve out 8.3 million dollars to bring back the Oklahoma State Penitentiary Rodeo, despite others, such as a representative of the Arnall Family Foundation, calling out the move as exploitative and dangerous toward the inmates and animals and a waste of funds that could be spent on reforms.
"[21] ODOC Executive Director Steve Harpe claims that it would bring in revenue for the department and support functions like a call center, and that Netflix, ESPN, and PBR are eyeing Oklahoma because of it.
In 2023, George Young said that taxpayer dollars being used to revive the rodeo could be better spent on education programs for inmates or initiatives to improve prison health care.
