    I’ve been grateful to have Jari traveling around our state talking about the various projects they are working on at the capitol. She is so accessible and available to people, it would be so great to have her be the Governor of Oklahoma. –Josh Andrews, Tulsa

  • Chris Collins said:

    I met Jari in person for the first time a few months ago while serving as a Page for the State House. I thought she was a great leader based on what I’d read and heard, but I was really impressed with just how much she truly seemed to care about meeting us.

    I support her because she has a real passion for public service and she is a very genuine person. I can’t wait to see what she’ll do as our next Governor.

    I first met Jari Askins while attending grade school in Duncan, Oklahoma. All too often, politicans are not involved in the true “grassroots” of a community. This is not the case for Jari Askins. She has remains active in her community, and always has despite whatever success she may have attained. She could be a true leader for the state of Oklahoma. We need more politicians like her here in Oklahoma, and less like Sally Kern.

  • Michael J. Davis said:

    I have met Jari on numerous occasions, and she is an incredible leader. She has a true understanding of what Oklahomans need in a Governor, and she has the experience necessary to do get the job done!

    As a law student, and a lifelong Oklahoman, I respect her long career in public service, and her selfless work on behalf of students, parents, and everyday Oklahomans.

    Go Jari!

  • Benton Howell said:

    I have been impressed by the energy and enthusiasm of Jari. I don’t know much about her highest priorities, but I hope she will promote schools and teachers in Oklahoma. I know she supports forward looking activities like the Aerospace Summit that takes place in June. She should make a great governor.

  • Robin Allen said:

    Wow! What a great candidate for Governor! She will represent us well and our state as a whole.

    I have met Jari on what I will call our banquet tour and she is most gracious and alot of fun.

    She is a true Oklahoman and has been here all of her life and loves the state. What a great head of state she will be!

    We are very fortunate that Jari Askins is willing to continue her
    service to our state and our country as Governor of Oklahoma.
    She is highly respected here in Duncan by members of all political
    parties for her awareness and concern for all matters vital to the
    well-being of all segments of our society. We need her values, her
    ability to work with those of our own party, but also with those of
    the other parties. I join many others in feeling grateful to Jari
    and in anticipation of her becoming our next Governor.

  • Gayle Johnson said:

    I met Jari through a philanthropic educational organization years ago. Jari recognizes the need for a strong educational base for all Oklahomans. I am so grateful that she is not afraid to go across party lines to do what is best for our state. She is “The One” for Oklahoma.

  • Taylor Cunningham said:

    Mrs. Jari Askins is a wonderful candidate for governor. She knows how the system works and is persistence in here work and that is exactly what we need right now. I cant vote yet but sure will help her in her campaign.

  • James Drummond said:

    I have known Jari for over a decade as one of the best political leaders Oklahoma has ever had. She has strong ideals and yet is practical and realistic in her choice of battles. When she says she will do something, or take a position, you can take it to the bank. I spent a lot of time in the legislature advocating for indigent criminal defendants, not a popular constituency, but Jari took courageous stand after courageous stand when she thought it was right and fair. She has been a judge, head of an executive agency (the Pardon and Parole Board), and a legislator, and has a clear understanding as a businesswoman of the needs of business as well as the needs of the poor and mentally ill. There could not be a better agent than Jari Askins for the interests of real Oklahomans.

  • Dr. Henry Roberson said:

    Electing a democrat governor is vital and Jari is the best of the best.

  • Cindy Kelly said:

    Where are car decals? I’m ready to put the word out. Gov. Henry, please get out and on the stump for Ms. Askins.

    Best,
    Cindy in Shawnee

  • Robert Gwin Jr. said:

  • Walter Jenny said:

    Jari Askins has the experience, the integrity and the enthusiasm to be one of Oklahoma’s greatest governors. She deserves our votes and our support for the best future of Oklahoma!

  • Sarah Gregg said:

    Jari is one great woman! She is genuine and has a heart to lead through service to our great state. She is registered as a democrat but doesn’t always vote with her party because she knows what is best for Oklahoma. She has the ability to make decisions with the future in mind, and is not afraid to speak her mind in order to get her point across. Jari knows how to get things done! She was raised in a Christian home where she was taught to show the love of God everywhere she goes, and it is evident in her dealings with constituents, co-workers, family, and friends. I have known Jari all 19 years of my life, and currently I am proud to call her Lieutenant Governor. I would be even more proud to call her Governor! Way to go Jari! Keep doing what you know is right for Oklahoma and for you!

    Vote Jari Askins for Governor!
