POLITICS: Oklahoma Votes

We asked the candidates to comment on why they are running for office. We also asked for their views on job creation and retention, balancing the budget while keeping taxes low, protecting state and citizens’ rights and curbing illegal immigration.

Hometown
Edmond
What is your reason for running?
“Because I'm the only one in the race who believes in all people's rights, all the time. Republicans, Democrats, and other Independents only go part way to freedom, and believe in controlling people's lives in certain ways. Libertarians, like me, believe that people have the right to live their lives, raise their family, earn a living and spend their money any way they choose, just as long as they're not hurting someone else against that person's will.”
Why should Oklahomans vote for you?
“I won't be owned by special interest groups, or controlled by political parties. I won't promise what I won't -- or can't -- deliver. I will be there to serve the people of District 5, not big business, big religion, big labor, big government or big money. Constituents may not agree with my decisions all the time, but I will explain what I do and why I do it. It will then be up to them to decide whether or not to return me to office.”
What is your political experience?
