Republican candidate Gary Richardson is putting his money where his campaign is and has deposited a total of one million dollars into his campaign fund for governor.
“We’re in it to win it,” said Richardson. “That’s why my wife, Lanna, and I made the decision to put $1 million of our own money into this race.”
“I refuse to be beholden to the special interest groups that have poured millions into the Governor’s race. The people of Oklahoma are my only special interest group,” Richardson added.
Fundraising season is underway for many of the candidates. Lt. Governor Todd Lamb seems to have a solid fundraising lead on the other Republicans.
While Richardson is investing in his political future, he still wants help from Oklahoma voters.
“That’s why I’m asking the citizens of Oklahoma to help support my campaign,” said Richardson. With donations of $50, $25, or even $10 from Oklahomans across the state added to the $1 million Lanna and I have put in this race, we can send a message that the Governor’s race can’t be bought off by the special interest groups.”
