Lots of open seats in Oklahoma. First term Democrat L.G. Jari Askins is running for Governor. Four-term Democrat A.G. Drew Edmondson is running for Governor. What Republicans will run to fill the L.G. and A.G. slots in Oklahoma in 2010? We know – do you? From Tulsa World:
Lt. Gov. Jari Askins, a Democrat, plans to run for governor in 2010.
As first reported on tulsaworld.com, in a letter dated Friday and obtained by the Tulsa World on Sunday, Askins tells supporters she will “soon become a candidate for Governor of Oklahoma.”
Askins said Sunday in a telephone interview that she plans a formal announcement this month.
Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson, a Democrat, has said he intends to run for governor and will not seek re-election as attorney general.
