Former Lawmaker, John Bennett Seeks OKGOP Chairmanship

12/21/2020

The fiery floor debater of the Oklahoma House of representatives, John Bennett; is declaring his candidacy to lead the Oklahoma Republican Party in 2021.
Bennett has spent much of the past 30 years in national security and anti-terrorist efforts in military service. He has also spent years training civil law enforcement. As the first Republican ever elected in the 2nd House district (Sallisaw area), Bennett has been a unifying voice for common sense and bipartisan solutions which working Democrats and Republicans largely support. Bennett helped change Eastern and Southern Oklahoma into a solidly 'red' electoral region.
Bennett was among the first elected officials in Oklahoma to support the Trump candidacy for president. He's a husband and father & community leader.
Lawmakers of the past 10 years remember Bennett's back row fiery speeches advocating for fiscal responsibility and agency accountability, as well as parental rights and education reform. Despite Bennet's advancement in House leadership, he always preferred the back row.
Peace officers and other professionals in criminal justice have credited Bennett for bringing fundamental reforms and relief to our system of law enforcement and court adjudication.
Bennett also serves as pastor of Lee Creek Assembly of God, near his Sallisaw home.
Bennett's press release is posted below.

John Bennett was among the first few Oklahoma elected officials supporting the Trump 2016 candidacy.

(Sallisaw, Oklahoma): Former State Representative John Bennett today announced his candidacy to be the next Chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party. "As a retired Marine, I love this country and have protected her freedom," Bennett said, "and the best way I can help protect Oklahoma at this point is to provide strong leadership for Oklahoma's Republican Party."

"Since we want to leave our children a stronger America, now is the time to fight for that vision. Patriots can no longer afford to circle the wagons; it is now time to lead the way and storm the beaches to take back the Republic that we hold so dear," Bennett continued. "As your Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman, I will pave the way for elected officials to stand up and be heard."

“I look forward to working with patriots across the state and Nation, both those I met while serving in the Oklahoma House of Representatives and those I haven't met yet, in the coming months. I believe I am uniquely qualified for such a time as this. We will work together to build a strong coalition across the Republican party to make us a stronger and united Party. Together we will fight for Oklahomans and bring Oklahoma back to its roots of conservative values and core beliefs,” Bennett concluded.

John Bennett, a retired Marine First Sergeant and combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, represented House District 2 in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 2010 to 2018. He is currently the Pastor of Lee Creek Assembly of God, and a small business owner. John Bennett lives in Sallisaw with his wife Nicole and their children.

The next Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman will be elected at the OKGOP’s Spring, 2021 convention.

"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

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.
