An openly disgusted Tom Coburn is determined to see Markwayne Mullin defeated in the 2018 June primary. After Mullin released a carefully-choreographed video where softball questions were served up to him & his wife, Coburn took to the media with a strong rebuke of the 2nd district representative. Coburn, himself, had served 3 terms and then honored his own vow to limit his occupancy of the office. the voters then turned to Coburn a few years later when choosing a US Senator. The Oklahoman published an article detailing Coburn's focus on replacing Mullin with a candidate who will keep his word to the voters.
