Early life

Political career
Despite coming in narrowly under the top candidate in the Republican primary election, Dahm won the runoff election and did not face a Democratic opponent in the general electionn.[2] He assumed office in November 2012.
Dahm introduced numerous gun bills for the 2013 legislative session, including a bill penalizing the enforcement of federal government gun restrictions in Oklahoma and a bill contradicting a federal ban on guns in schools.[3] In 2014, Dahm introduced the "Piers Morgan Constitutional Right to Keep and Bear Arms Without Infringement Act" which would allow firearms to be openly carried without a permit.[4] Talk show host Morgan invited him onto Piers Morgan Live to debate the legislation.[5]
Dahm also sponsored legislation in the Senate to penalize the enforcement of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in Oklahoma.[6]
Dahm sponsored legislation in the Oklahoma Senate that would subject physicians performing abortions to felony charges and revocation of their medical licenses. It passed the Senate, 33-12, on May 19, 2016.[7][8] The bill was quickly vetoed by Republican Governor Mary Fallin, who cited ambiguity in the wording.
