Tulsa Tea party Founder Endorsements for the July 27th GOP Primary!

Image by randylane via Flickr

I have been asked numerous times for a Comprehensive list  of my endorsements in the July 27th GOP Primaries, as the founder of the Tulsa Tea Party.  So, I have put together this list of candidates that,  I believe, best embody the ideals of the  Tea Party Movement. In some of the races,  such as US Congress District 2, there were several quality candidates to choose from. In others, such as the Governor’s Race,  the choice is very clear. If a race is not listed here, it means that, either, I do not know enough about the candidates in the race, or that none of the candidates, in that race, fit the ideals of smaller Government, and opposition to all Federal Government Bailouts of  Private Industry, that the Tea Party Movement was founded upon.

So, here are my endorsements:

Randy Brogdon for Governor of Oklahoma

John Wright for Lt. Governor of Oklahoma

Scott Pruitt for Attorney General

Nathan Dahm for US House OK District 1

Dan Arnett for US House OK District 2

RJ Harris for US House OK District 4

James Lankford for US House OK District 5

David Mclain for Oklahoma Senate District 10

Tim Coager for Oklahoma Senate District 34

David Tackett for Wagoner County Commissioner District 1

Ken Yazel for Tulsa County Tax Assessor

Drew Rees for Tulsa County Commissioner District 3

Who is your pick for the Oklahoma Lt Governor GOP Primary?

******************************************UPDATE***********************************************

Final Poll Results

Total Votes: 105

John A Wright: 79

Todd Lamb: 17

Paul Nosak: 9

This race really doesn’t seem to have captured quite the interest of most of the other races. However, it looks like, amongst the hardcore Tea Party Movement, which are most of my readers, that John Wright, like Randy Brogdon, really resonates. His high conservative rating during his time in the State House of Representatives, as opposed to the Lukewarm Conservative rating of Todd Lamb, definitely carries alot of weight. Paul Nosak, is starting to gain a little ground in some of the straw polls, he still trails both Wright & Lamb.

Final Results of GOP Primary Polls!

The Polls have closed and the results are tabulated! Without further ado, here are the results!

Who Is Your Pick For the GOP Nomination for Governor?

Randy Brogdon 69%

Mary Fallin 22%

Other 3%

Undecided 6%

This is obviously then race that everyone is looking at, all over the State of Oklahoma. It’s interesting to me, that this poll mirrors the Tulsa County GOP Straw Poll from a couple of weeks ago, yet seems to be the exact opposite of the polls being printed by the Tulsa World. I truly believe that these polls indicate a very strong Grassroots Movement behind Senator Brogdon, that is growing, and will lead to a win for him.

Who Is your Choice For the GOP Nomination for Lt. Governor?

State Rep John Wright 42%

State Sen Todd Lamb 22%

Other 2%

Undecided 34%

In comparison to the Straw Poll from a couple weeks ago, it looks like John Wright is starting to build momentum, and slowly pulling away from Todd Lamb. The interesting part of this, is the fact that Wright has not yet started to really campaign, and has raised very little money. It seems, that the Grassroots understand that these races are between true Conservatives, and the establishment within the Oklahoma GOP, and they are rejecting the establishment.

Who Is Your Choice For the GOP Nomination in OK District 1?

Nathan Dahm 54%

John Sullivan 25%

Fran Moghaddam 2%

Undecided 15%

Just 2 weeks ago, John Sullivan was leading this race by an almost identical margin. However, many did not realize they had an option when that poll was run. Now, as Nathan Dahm has begun to do the things to get his name out, his support is growing. Many within the Tea Party Movement have said that a TARP vote should have been career ending, and it looks like the Grassroots voters in District 1, would agree!

Who Is Your Choice for the GOP Nomination for OK District 2?

Howard Houchen 44%

Daniel Edmonds 12%

Dan Arnett 40%

Charles Thompson 1%

Other 1%

Undecided 3%

This race is intriguing to me. We have several strong candidates for the nomination, but no “big names”, as many believe that the Democrat Dan Boren, is too strong. However, the candidates who are running for the District 2 GOP nomination, are very strong, and seem to have a swell of support amongst the Grassroots, as this was the poll that pulled in the most votes, by far!  Currently, Howard Houchen seems to be the front runner, but this race is VERY close. Dan Arnett is mounting a strong challenge, and Daniel Edmond has a lot of support, as well.

Who Is Your Choice for the GOP Nomination in OK District 5?

James Lankford 53%

Kevin Calvey 3%

Dr. Johnny Roy 1%

Rick Flanigan 13%

State Rep. Mike Thompson 26%

Other <1%

Undecided 3%

This race for Mary Fallin’s seat was VERY close, until the last day, with James Lankford and Rick Flanigan running neck and neck. On the last day Lankford pulled away, and State Rep Mike Thompson finally mounted a challenge. I believe that, based on his name recognition in circles outside of politics, James Lankford will win this nomination.

As far as, what these numbers mean, well, I will give you my opinion after the poll closes. For now, draw your own conclusions, because I have posted links to this poll on every GOP Page I can find. I have tweeted it directly to several of these candidates, including those that I am NOT a fan of (Mary Fallin and John Sullivan). So, like I said, draw your own conclusions as to the value of these polls!
