It should come as no surprise, Congressman Frank Lucas has endorsed fellow Republican Kevin Stitt for Governor. The campaign and Lucas released the following statement on Monday.
“I am proud to endorse Kevin Stitt for Governor of Oklahoma,” said Lucas. “We need a Governor that will work with President Trump to grow our state’s economy and recruit businesses to our state during this rise in our national economy. Kevin’s business experience and proven leadership make him the candidate for the job. As a fellow Oklahoman, father and Christian we cannot leave this election up to chance.
“As a Congressman from rural Oklahoma, I look for a candidate that is willing to listen to the needs of our neighbors in rural Oklahoma along with those cities across Oklahoma that have very different needs. In my discussion with Mr. Stitt it is evident he is bright leader that wants to work across party lines to lead Oklahoma to be Top 10 and represent all 4 million Oklahomans. He has a detailed plan to move the needle on big issues affecting all Oklahomans.
“When it comes to one of my true passions – agriculture, there is no doubt that Kevin Stitt will serve our state well in this regard. He has sought advice and secured endorsements from the state’s leading agriculture organizations and numerous farmers and ranchers across Oklahoma. As former chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, I intend to work with Kevin in bringing in new trade partners as we build upon our already robust agriculture economy.”
“I am honored to have the endorsement of Congressman Frank Lucas,” said Stitt. “Congressman Lucas has served as a champion of rural Oklahoma over the years, and I look forward to working with him in order to support our rural communities, capitalize on economic opportunities, and get our state moving in the right direction.”
