Meet RJ Harris,
Let's examine the political evolution of Oklahoma's next great perennial candidate.
2010:
RJ Harris, Republican
RJ's first foray into politics was as a Republican candidate in Oklahoma's 4th Congressional District in 2010. He lost to Congressman Tom Cole 77%-23%.
2012:
RJ Harris, Libertarian
In August of 2011, Harris threw his hat into the ring for President -- this time as a Libertarian. After nine months of campaigning for the nomination, he withdrew his candidacy, citing fundraising difficulties.
RJ Harris, Independent
Since his presidential campaign didn't pan out, Harris ran for Congress again, but this time as an Independent. He came in third (5%), behind Congressman Cole (68%), and Democrat Donna Bebo (29%).
2014:
RJ Harris, Democrat
Now, he's decided to run for Governor, and as a Democrat. So far, he is the only announced Democratic candidate.
The Daily Oklahoman newspaper writes that "Wallace Collins, chairman of the Oklahoma Democratic Party, said Harris is a good candidate for the party and he supports his campaign." I'll let that comment speak for itself.
The 2014 election is getting more and more interesting...
