Harold Wright, House GOP Pro Tem
Funds Attempt to Turn Republican Senate District Blue
Amazingly this yoyo was reelected pro tem of the House of Representatives AFTER the bulk of the new legislators learned of Wright's donations to the Democrat opponent in the old Mike Shulz Senate District. Now Shultz was the Senate Pro Tem, why would House Leadership allow Wright to attack the Republican trying to replace Shultz?
Wright earned an 8 on the 2018 Oklahoma Platform Index. His bad votes can be found at the House District 57 page on Okhd.org. He got 17.5 votes out of 20 votes wrong. Harold Wright actually helped fund the Democrat opponent of incoming Republican Senator Brent Howard with his personal donation of $1000 along with other family members that contributed to the Democrat in that race.
You can see the campaign donation records at this link.
Then there was Carol Bush who was elected Secretary of the Caucus despite her doing a fundraiser and an endorsement for the Democrat that defeated Steve Russel in the Okc congressional race.
If you wanted an answer as to if House Leadership was complicit in the defeat of the conservative House members this is about as blatant as it will get.a
