Congressman Jim Bridenstine today endorsed Steve Russell in Russell’s bid to win the Republican nomination for Congress in the 5th District. Russell faces Corporation Commissioner Patrice Douglas in the runoff.
I am honored to endorse fellow combat veteran Steve Russell for Oklahoma’s 5th Congressional District,” said Bridenstine. “I believe military experience is badly needed in Congress and LTC Russell understands firsthand the sacrifice required to defend the Constitution.”
Russell said he is honored by the endorsement because Bridenstine understands the crisis America faces.
“With our declining veteran population in Congress, we need experienced warriors to help guide the country and defend our constitutional liberties. I’m looking forward to fighting for Oklahomans right alongside Iraq and Afghanistan combat veteran Jim Bridenstine.”
Wow. This, coupled with the strong article Wednesday regarding Common Core by Jenni White (http://restoreoklahomapubliceducation.blogspot.com/2014/08/steve-russell-and-holy-grail-of-cd-5.html) provides major momentum to Mr. Russell. He is having a great week…at just the right time.
I can’t think of an endorsement that could top this one, by anyone.
