Lisa Janloo - Candidate for Oklahoma Labor Commissioner
Episode 11
Wednesday, 8 April, 2026
In this powerful episode, Jake sits down with Lisa Janloo, a candidate running for Oklahoma Labor Commissioner. Lisa opens up about her deeply personal Iranian heritage and shares a heartfelt perspective on the recent Iran War. She explains why so many Iranian people are openly celebrating the American strikes against the Iranian regime — describing it as a long-overdue moment of hope for freedom-loving Iranians both inside Iran and in the diaspora who have suffered under decades of oppression. She then pivots to the race at hand, breaking down exactly what the Labor Commissioner does in Oklahoma. Lisa clearly explains that the role oversees workplace safety, wage enforcement, unemployment insurance, labor disputes, and protecting workers' rights across the state. She emphasizes that it's not just a bureaucratic position — it's a critical job that directly impacts every Oklahoma worker, business owner, and family. Lisa closes by sharing why she's running right now: she believes Oklahoma needs strong, principled leadership in this office to cut through red tape, support small businesses, defend fair wages, and ensure safe working conditions — all while bringing fresh energy and real-world experience to a seat that affects every corner of the state. A must-watch conversation that blends powerful personal story, timely international insight, and a clear vision for Oklahoma's workforce.
