On April 7, 2026, following an incident at Pauls Valley High School, Hern addressed his constituents with a message of concern: “My thoughts are with the Pauls Valley High School community after today’s tragedy. Tammy and I are praying for a swift recovery for Principal Kirk Moore and for all the students, parents, and faculty affected. We’re grateful for the swift response from local law enforcement,”
