With Election Day four weeks from today, the State Chamber of Oklahoma has released its list of endorsements for races in the state Senate and House. The bipartisan list of 32 candidates includes 14 running for open seats.
“Passing legislation that helps move the state forward starts with electing the right lawmakers,” said State Chamber President and CEO Fred Morgan. “We believe this slate of candidates will allow for continued economic growth and more jobs in Oklahoma. We look forward to working with them in the 2015 legislative session.”
Endorsements are made by a committee of State Chamber members following a candidate survey and interviews. The following candidates have the support of the State Chamber:

An asterisk (*) denotes an incumbent.
Note: The State Chamber of Oklahoma does not endorse candidates in statewide or federal races.
Of course the State Chamber will have to sick their nose into business that isn’t necessary for them to be sticking into.
In all honesty to all of the candidates including the incumbent that was not endorsed in this race it should be an honor to NOT have their blessing.
Senator Brecheen earned a 100% rating from the Oklahoma National Federation of Independent Business owners and a cumulative 90% rating by the Research Institute for Economic Development for his votes since taking office. I trust these endorsements over a State Chamber endorsement for proof of the Senator’s business acumen.
