Blogger Jamison Faught reports:
Pam Pollard won the Oklahoma Republican Party chair election held this afternoon in Oklahoma City, and will fill out the rest of Randy Brogdon’s two-year term (expiring spring on 2017).
339 state committee members were present in person or by proxy (including 106 from state legislative members).
The tally in the first round of balloting was 163 votes for OFRW President Pam Pollard, 115 for Vice-Chair Estela Hernandez, and 77 for 3rd District Chair Robert Hubbard. There were 25 extra votes (later revised to 16) cast over the credentialed amount of members, but Estela Hernandez motioned and Robert Hubbard seconded that Pollard be approved as chair by voice vote.
Hernandez, elected vice chair in April, will continue in that office.
Candidates and officials huddle prior to declaring the vote
Congratulations Pam!! Hard work and determination do pay off. I’m looking forward to stability and success for the Party in ’16 under Pam’s leadership.
Gongrats Pam! You certainly earned it.

Congratulations to you Pam. I look forward to a strong and successful GOP in Oklahoma.
