WASHINGTON ~ Businessman and political novice Wayne Herriman has loaned his congressional campaign $195,000 in a move that could add a dramatic and unexpected twist to the Democratic primary race in the state’s 2nd District.
“I want people to know I am committed to this race,” Herriman said Wednesday when asked about the amount of the loans.
In a brief telephone interview, he volunteered that the money came from personal funds.
Herriman, who is not well-known even to those who follow Oklahoma politics, said he needed to conclude the interview and suggested that a reporter could send additional questions via email.
