Founding, mission, and leadership

Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs (OCPA) was founded in 1993 as a public policy research organization focused primarily on state-level issues. The founders, led by Dr. David Brown, envisioned an organization that was capable of affecting the state’s public policy similar to national level think tanks. Since its founding OCPA has conducted research and analysis of public issues in Oklahoma from a perspective of limited government, individual liberty and a free-market economy.

OCPA headquarters is near the Oklahoma State Capitol in Oklahoma City. Jonathan Small serves as the organization's president.

A Ten Commandments outdoor monument tablet was installed at OCPA headquarters in 2015.[3] The monument had been removed from the Oklahoma State Capitol as a reaction to an activist group's attempt to install a Satanic monument alongside the tablet.
