Candidate Seeks To End Pro Choice Rumors

7/14/2016

  Joe Newhouse is seeking to become the next state senator from District 25(Southeast Tulsa metro). He is facing a tough challenge from Republican Lisa Kramer for that open seat. Kramer touts strong support from the public education lobby and teachers unions. Both Newhouse & Kramer are in their first legislative race.  Newhouse was a former staffer for Congressman Bridenstine and is a reserve Naval officer. Kramer serves on a public school board.
​  Newhouse is assumed to hold similar political views to those of Jim Bridenstine; but on the Newhouse campaign website, there is no noticeable statement about the abortion issue. Oklahomans For Life sent Newhouse a candidate questionnaire on the issue, which Newhouse decided not to complete and return. Almost every pro life candidate completes this questionnaire and almost every pro abortion candidate ignores it.

  Constituents in the district tell me they have reached out to Newhouse and have not receive a timely response even though their social media messenger indicates Newhouse read the inquiries promptly. One citizen in the district who voted for Newhouse in the primary said that he asked Kramer for her position and she promptly gave a clear prolife answer.
Finally, tonight I did receive this message from Mr. Newhouse;
David,

Please see attached. I felt that this statement captured my stance on stopping abortion.

Thank you, sir,
Joe

  I appreciate the reply from Mr. Newhouse and his better clarification. I hope we can get an even better one before the August runoff election.
  I sympathize with him about the Oklahomans For Life questionnaire. It has 3 questions on it which are not at all germane to the issue of defending unborn babies from selective abortion.
   But I do expect candidates to make their positions clear in their campaign media. Mr Newhouse looks like he buried the topic deep within his issues section, under the 'Relationships' topic. This could be an innocent oversight, but pro life activists have expressed serious concerns to Sooner Politics and we are happy to assist in getting real answers from candidates.

Mr. Newhouse sent me this letter, dated June 15th, which he had sent to Oklahomans For Life, explaining the struggle he has with the types of questions on the survey.

    ​"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic.  I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
