Former Senator and retired Army officer Steve Russell, now seeking the Republican nomination for Congress in the 5th District, took a shot today at one of his opponents over Common Core.
Russell, who opposes Common Core, commended a Senate committee for its vote today to remove Common Core from Oklahoma.
In doing so, he said, “This is a tremendous statement standing up against another over-reaching federal mandate, I am especially pleased to see State Senator Clark Jolley, the man who brought Common Core to Oklahoma, admitting fault by voting to overturn the Common Core bill he authored.”
Jolley also seeks the GOP nomination for Congress in the 5th District.
Absolutely correct! Jolley has been responsible not only for Common Core, but also for many of the additional tentacle programs that this big government root has grown. Many of us asked him to stop this, and stood by chuckling as we begged him not to do this to our kids.
As we move forward, and each and every one of attempts to grow government at the expense of our and our children’s freedom are overturned, you can be assured that Moms will have the last laugh. Poor Mr. Jolley won’t be so happy anymore, he should have remembered: If Momma isn’t happy – then no one is happy!
Let’s not forget that Jolley was joined in the House by none other than TW Shannon, who supported Common Core before he was against it. These guys like to call themselves “true conservatives” when in fact, their voting records are something different. No amount of non-Oklahoma money and endorsements can undo their non-conservative voting records.
