The Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) was a ground-breaking agency upon its establishment in 2001.

As a result, the agency remains innovative and effective in saving countless lives and changing the course of our state’s future. Take a look back at the last 20 years of TSET with former Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson and former State Representative Ray Vaughn, who were among the prominent bipartisan coauthors and advocates for TSET’s creation. Executive Director Julie Bisbee explores how the mission has grown and what’s in store for the future. Follow the journey from humble beginnings as a simple state question to Oklahoma’s public health powerhouse as TSET celebrates its 20th anniversary.
