“Oklahoma voters tonight chose someone who has proven that she can win statewide and proven that she is willing to fight for what matters for working families and families who want to get back to work. Lieutenant Governor Jari Askins has what it takes to compete and win again,” Gov. Markell said. “The race will be difficult, but we are confident Jari will run a strong campaign focused on the right priorities: helping hard working families, creating good jobs and moving Oklahoma forward.”
Please know that your loyalty means so much to me. Tonight, let’s celebrate! But get ready, because tomorrow I need you more than ever to help us win in November. It will be tough, but we can win with your help.
For the last year and a half we have worked tirelessly for this final moment. On this day we not only celebrate our democratic right but our civic duty.
A couple of weeks ago, we got the idea to do a Lost Ogle Q&A with the four “major” politicians running for the governor’s office. The guidelines were pretty simple. We’d send each candidates the same 15 “light-hearted” questions, and they’d have a few weeks to answer them.
Through radio advertisements, social media, some strong endorsements and other platforms, Switzer’s message began criss-crossing the state last week: “I’ve known Jari Askins for 30 years. She’s a great friend, a great sports fan and she’ll be a great governor.” The coach called her “honest and smart, not to mention that she’s the nicest person you’ll ever meet.”
One of the most important things you can do in the next 48 hours is to pledge to talk to 10 friends or family members about Jari! Pledge to take action here!
NORMAN — Oklahoma voters in both parties face the daunting task of narrowing the list of candidates Tuesday. We’ve visited with candidates, attended local forums and read their literature and comments.
In the governor’s race on the Democratic side, both candidates are solid Oklahomans who would represent the state well. But we favor Lt. Gov. Jari Askins for a variety of reasons.
Ms. Askins has served in all three branches of state government. She was a special judge in western Oklahoma, served as a state legislator …
Her strong education led her to successful careers as a judge and later as a lawmaker in Oklahoma City. Currently sitting in the Lt. Governor’s position Jari has experience in all three branches of our state government. She may very well be the most qualified candidate for the Governor of Oklahoma in our generation.
If governor, Askins said, she would devote her resources to improving Oklahoma’s educational system. Askins, a Democrat, said she has heard a number of industry leaders complain that young people in Oklahoma enter the work force without being amply prepared for their career. Askins said a sound education system is key to economic development.
We appreciate all of your financial support of our campaign but today we ask you not for money, but for your support by voting for Jari and voting early. Early voting started Friday and continues through today (Saturday 8am-1pm), and Monday 8am-6pm.
