Charlie Meadows and OCPAC on today's runoff elections

Conservative stalwart Charlie Meadows and the organization he presided over for many years (the Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee) emailed out his oft-anticipated Charlie's Picks yesterday on today's runoff election. Here they are, along with a section with detail on the races in Tulsa:

CHARLIE'S PICKS

[Today,] Tuesday, August 25th is primary runoff election day for 2020.

The following picks are simply my opinions based on extensive research. Helping me with these were Don Spencer of Oklahoma Second Amendment Association (OK2A), Liza Greve of Oklahomans for Health & Parental Rights (OKHPR), and, to a lesser degree, the iVoter Guide.

Readers may have information I am unaware of and have a different opinion. That is fine.

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT 5

YOUR CHOICE

My problem with Bice is that she has proven not to be a conservative. Her six-year average score is 56 on The Oklahoma Constitution Newspaper's Conservative Index. Find it here.

While she has voted properly on some OK2A bills, Don Spencer has indicated she has been unfriendly and uncooperative with OK2A. I believe Bice has a slightly better chance to beat Horn in November.

Cong. Mullin endorses Jackson in SD5 runoff

CONGRESSMAN MULLIN ENDORSES JACKSON FOR SENATE

(August 3, 2020) Oklahoma Congressman Markwayne Mullin is endorsing Justin Jackson in his primary runoff campaign for Senate District 5.  Mullin is now calling on all Republicans in the district to get to the polls on August 25th.

    "Justin Jackson is a genuine conservative Republican, a businessman with a proven record of reinvesting his time, energy, and effort into our region from schools to protecting resources," Congressman Mullin says.  "He will defend God, gun rights, and our way of life.  I'm looking forward to Justin Jackson joining the team as we all work hard to make Southeast Oklahoma, and all of District 5, greater together!"

    Justin Jackson is a rancher, outdoorsman, successful businessman, and a lifelong Oklahoman.  He believes Mullin's support could be a big factor in this race.

    "Markwayne Mullin is a conservative champion and I'm honored to have his endorsement," says Jackson.  "He is a fighter in every sense of the word, never backing to the radical left who want to destroy this country, and that's the spirit I will bring to the State Capitol.  The people of Southeast Oklahoma are hard-working, God-fearing, and family-oriented.  I want to take the values we cherish in SD-5 and bring them to the Capitol where those values are desperately needed."

    The Senate District 5 GOP runoff is scheduled for August 25, 2020.  The general election is scheduled for November 3, 2020.
