A Win On the Vice Chair Election

 A Win on the Vice Chair Election

 Our Friday night newsletter asked the attendees, most of which are on the STP newsletter mailing list, to support the worst candidate, Shane Jemison, the Chickasaw lobbyist. And our readers came though, electing the Indian lobbyist by an overwhelming margin. We didn't want a good man sullied by association with McLain so we were relieved to see Sean Roberts dodge that bullet. Thanks go out to the Republican Caucus as well who largely refused to support their fellow legislator Sean Roberts, in fact a majority endorsed the Indian lobbyist for the position. No doubt they were sending a message about being conservative being the kiss of death in the Oklahoma legislature.
