The Finance Director for the Oklahoma Republican party, Darren Gantz; reports strong fiscal numbers in Chairman John Bennett's first 4 months.
Darren Gantz has taken on the financial duties of the OKGOP since shortly after the April 10th State Convention. He has watched as party supporters responded to the new chairman with a new and broader base of support from primarily 'Trump Republicans" Gantz says that as of this moment, all bills are paid, and at least $30,000 of old debt from the previous administration were paid up. According to Federal and state oversight agencies, the David McLain OKGOP administration(2019-2021) relied heavily on US Senator James Lankford for the party funding. One source said that about $108,000 of party funding came from Lankford's senatorial campaign & personal support. But since April 10th Lankford is not found in any list of party contributors. Evidently, Congressmen Markwayne Mullins & Tom Cole are currently the only members of Oklahoma's Republican DC delegation that are helping the Oklahoma State Republican Party. |
