Outgoing Senator Don Barrington is throwing his support behind Chris Kidd in the Republican runoff for Senate District 31.
“Chris Kidd is a true representation of Southwest Oklahoma,” said Barrington. “He is a dependable, dedicated conservative who will continue our efforts to represent the concerns of rural Oklahoma at the State Capitol. I have known Chris for a number of years now and had the opportunity of observing him on numerous occasions pursuing the interest of our district. Chris understands the importance and challenges of the core functions of government and I have confidence he has the skills, knowledge and ability to prioritize the importance they play in the quality of life of the citizens of our state. It is definitely an honor and privilege to offer my endorsement and support for Chris Kidd as the next State Senator for Oklahoma Senate District 31.”
Barrington is term limited.
Kidd is facing teacher Toni Hasenbeck. The Elgin Republican is part of the “pro-education” group of candidates who decided to run for office. She received the most votes in the primary.
The runoff is August 23rd.
The winner will face Democrat Perry Brinegar in November.
