The growing list of conservative endorsements are coming in for Carolyn McLarty, for Senate District 27. | Jamison Faught of Muskogee Politico said; In the Senate District 27 special election triggered by State Sen. Bryce Marlatt's resignation after being charged with felony sexual battery, the race appears to be between State Rep. Casey Murdock (Conservative Performance Index score of -15.6 in 2016, by far the worst among all GOP legislators) and OKGOP National Committeewoman Carolyn McLarty. This week, McLarty scored some huge news in gaining the endorsements of former U.S. Senator Tom Coburn and former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating. The primary for this race is Tuesday, December 12th. My Endorsement: "There is no better statement of Republican values than a vote for Dr. Carolyn McLarty, on Dec. 12th. 9 Northwest counties will have that exclusive opportunity to stand with Carolyn McLarty for the future success of the great northwestern Oklahoma. Join Former Governor Frank Keating, Dr. Tom Coburn, and the 2016 OKGOP State Convention, who voted for Dr. Carolyn McLarty." - David Van Risseghem - publisher, Sooner Politics |
"For as long as I’ve known her, Carolyn McLarty has worked each day to remind us what it means to be a Republican. Carolyn's conservative principles are rock solid," said Dr. Tom Coburn. "Less government in our daily lives. Local control of our local schools. Lower taxes on working families and small-business employers. Keep government decision-making close to home, rather than in the hands of bureaucrats in Washington, D.C."
"I’m proud to support Carolyn McLarty for state Senate, and I ask Republicans in Northwest Oklahoma to join me," Coburn continued. "Common-sense conservatives like Carolyn are needed at the state Capitol in Oklahoma City."
Governor Keating and Dr. Coburn join a growing list of Oklahomans who have endorsed Carolyn McLarty in her bid for State Senate.
