Republican Lt. Governor Mary
Fallin, and Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett
advanced to the August 22nd GOP congressional primary runoff in
Oklahoma. Coming third place, but not advancing to the runoff is another
state and local official, Corporation Commissioner Denise Bode. In
total, there were 6 Republican candidates vying for the GOP nomination, but as
you can see the state and local official – Fallin, Cornett, and Bode ran
the strongest races.
As the results
of this race show, Republican state and local leaders are the very future
national leaders of the country.
Democrat David Hunter, an Oklahoma City surgeon, awaits the winner of
the Fallin – Cornett runoff, in the November General Election to replace
outgoing Congressman Ernest Istook in this strong GOP district.
