Senator Al McAffrey says he is forming a committee to explore the possibility of seeking the Democratic nomination for Congress in the 5th District.
Writing on his Facebook page, McAffrey said, “After talking with my friends and family, and today meeting with the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign, I have officially launched an exploratory campaign to run for U.S. Congress. Thank you to each person who has reached out to me with words of encouragement and support.”
McAffrey was elected to the State House in 2006 and when Senator Andrew Rice announced that he would resign from the Senate in 2012, McCaffrey won the seat.
A native Oklahoman who grew up in Sulphur, McAffrey is a veteran of the U.S. Navy, a former Oklahoma City police officer, and currently owns and operates OK Cremation and Mortuary Services. The father of three daughters, McAffrey also has nine grandchildren. He is the state’s only openly gay legislator.
He is a member of the Choctaw Tribe and is involved in many community organizations including the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome Support Program Incorporated, Mesta Park Neighborhood Association, and the Oklahoma Funeral Directors Association. He also is a member of Saint Paul’s Episcopalian Cathedral.
