Drummond attracts donations from 6th most liberal senator


In an interesting tidbit from campaign finance filings, State Sen. Jo Anna Dossett (D-Tulsa) appears to be donating $10 per month to Republican Gentner Drummond's gubernatorial campaign. The date lines up with something like an auto-draft, and hints that donations may stretch back to April.

According to the Oklahoma Constitution's Conservative Index, Dossett is the 6th most liberal member of the Oklahoma Senate.


This is a bit of a turnaround from the more traditional Drummond track record, where he is usually the one giving campaign donations to Democrats, such as

  • $1,000 to Brad Carson in 2004 (against conservative hero Tom Coburn).
  • $2,500 to Democratic Congressman Dan Boren from 2004 to 2010.
  • $1,500 to Democratic Lt. Governor candidate Pete Regan in 2005-2006.
  • $500 to Democrat Drew Edmondson's 2010 gubernatorial campaign.
  • $1,450 to Democratic nominee John Olson in the 1st Congressional District race in 2012.
  • $500 to Tulsa County Commissioner Karen Keith (D) in 2012.
  • $1,000 to Tulsa mayoral candidate Kathy Taylor (D) in 2013
  • $1,000 to Democratic senatorial nominee Matt Silverstein (running against Jim Inhofe).
  • $500 to State Representative and future Oklahoma Democratic Party chair John Waldron in 2017.
  • $250 to State House candidate Andy Richardson in 2018.
  • $1,000 to Joe Biden in 2020 (Drummond blames it on his wife).
