Jacob Rosecrants (born October 10, 1977) is an American politician who has served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from the 46th district since 2017.[1][2]
In January 2023, he filed legislation to repeal HB 1775, a law passed the prior session to ban teaching concepts proponents argue are critical race theory, after the bill was challenged in a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union. Republican leadership stated they did not intend to hear the bill.
