Meet The New Oklahoma Senators

11/18/2018

The 58th Oklahoma legislature has 12 incoming freshmen. Two of them are former State Representatives. 4 of them are Democrats. 8 are Republicans.
  The 57th Oklahoma Legislature's members have been sworn in, this week. They include 12 new senate members, 4 of whom are Democrats from the OKC metro area. This brings the Democrat caucus up to 9 members. Just 2 years ago there were only 6 Democrats in the 48-member chamber..
   This is considered a big turnover, but in our upcoming companion article on the Oklahoma House of Representatives, we'll discuss an unprecedented turnover.
  The factors leading to a large turnover could be:
  • A series of special sessions took a toll on the lives & livelihoods of those who left office. 
  • A financial recession led to a series of budget struggles which left many govt. workers displeased and activated for change.
  • A cut in legislative pay coupled public pressure for legislators to provide more agency oversight.
  • Cultural hostilities from political activists, causing lawmaker's families to fear their safety.
  • Moral & legal scandals involving lawmakers, leading to several resignations
  • Attractive career opportunities drawing capable politicians into corporate leadership positions.
  Whatever the reasons, here are the resulting new members, who eagerly seek to make a positive difference for their constituents and supporters.

Note the amount of money spent on some of the races, and the source of much of that money. It will help you understand who has an interest in the lawmaker's effectiveness.

    ​"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.​
