Former Congressman Dan Boren and State Senator Susan Paddack have joined the State Chamber of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association (OIPA) in a bid to defeat incumbent Senator Josh Brecheen in Senate District 6.
The two were among hosts for a fundraiser for Democrat Joe Hill, a former assistant to Boren. The event was sponsored and promoted by the OIPA.
Brecheen, who upset sitting Democrat J. Paul Gumm to win the seat in his first bid for elective office, joined several other conservative senators in opposing legislation favored by the OIPA.
He also authored the bill that stopped Common Core in its tracks; the State Chamber was an advocate of Common Core.
No one falls for Josh Brecheens stubborn independence but the voters.
It is downright laughable that the OIPA would support the party that is completely opposed to fossil fuels and inexpensive, carbon based American energy. Who is giving these guys advice on where to invest their money poorly?
That’s quite a lineup – Democrats Paddock, Boren and the State Chamber. Looks like Brecheen will cruise to Re-election.
Now there’s a couple of rising stars in the political arena… oh wait.. Boren stepped down rather than be ousted by conservatives no longer willing to fall for the “I’m a conservative Democrat” line, and Paddack is ranking memeber of the “Elite 12″… the tiny remnant of Democrats still in the state senate.. Those 2 endorsements should carry tons of clout! bahahahaha
Democrats all seem to be ultra conservative this time of year. Just wait til Nov 5. I said what? Boy was I drunk!
