Republican gubernatorial candidate Todd Lamb announced Tuesday that longtime GOP operative and political professional Arnella Karges has joined Oklahomans for Lamb as Deputy Campaign Manager. Karges has consulted on a variety of Republican campaigns during her career in addition to working with several business advocacy groups. Karges will work alongside Lamb’s campaign manager, Keith Beall. Karges was recently the executive vice president for the Oklahoma Oil & Gas Association and spent time working with the State Chamber of Oklahoma.
“I am excited to make this announcement and look forward to working with Arnella,” Lamb said. “She has a wealth of campaign and public policy experience, is well organized and is a natural fit for my campaign staff as we head into the crucial months before the June 26th primary election. With she and Keith Beall leading my statewide organization, I am confident the day-to-day management and details of my 77-county campaign is in great hands.”
“I have known Arnella for many years, and she is a consummate professional,” Beall said. “She is extremely well respected and has valuable contacts throughout Oklahoma which will greatly assist our campaign. I am excited she has agreed to join Team Lamb.”
