Robert Keyes for State Senate District 24

About Us

I was born and raised in poverty, and I worked my way up through hard work and determination to become a successful Oklahoma businessman. I understand firsthand how a strong economy creates opportunity. Today, I serve as President and CEO of Associated Industries, an environmental drilling and construction company based in Norman. Alongside my wife, Sandy, I have founded and co-founded multiple business ventures, creating jobs and supporting working families across Oklahoma.

That experience is why I am running for Oklahoma State Senate District 24 to serve Moore, south Oklahoma City, and north Norman with experienced conservative leadership.

Over the years, I have built an international reputation for excellence in the groundwater industry—an industry vital to Oklahoma’s economy, agriculture, and energy future. I was recently elected Treasurer of the National Ground Water Association and serve as Chairman of NGWA University, powered by Oklahoma State University. Through this global education program, I help train the next generation of skilled workers while strengthening Oklahoma’s workforce, protecting water resources, and supporting long-term economic growth.

With decades of experience running businesses, I understand how government policies impact everyday Oklahomans. I have spent my career navigating excessive bureaucracy that can stifle small businesses, drive up costs, and limit access to quality healthcare and essential services. I have also led efforts to protect Oklahoma’s water and energy resources from overreaching government interference.
