Pam Peterson and Sue Tibbs Endorse Dana Murphy

Per Mike McCarville's blog, two state legislators - Pam Peterson and Sue Tibbs - have endorsed Republican candidate Dana Murphy in her run for Corporation Commissioner.

McCarville also reports that Chesapeake Energy is throwing money at Jim Roth, the Democratic candidate in this race, which (aside from the ethical issue re taking money from those you regulate) will help his race.

First, though Murphy has to win the primary against an opponent. Based on training and past work experience, Murphy is certainly the most qualified candidate for this post.

Corporation Commission Candidate Dana Murphy Picking Up Endorsement

Ouch. OkieDoke has a pretty unflattering blog post about Corporation Commission candidate Rob Johnson (pictured here). Johnson faces fellow Republican Dana Murphy in the primary race. Michael Bates' Batesline blog has great things to say about Dana Murphy and she is picking up endorsements including one from the Oklahoma Conservative PAC. Turns out integrity, honesty and being smart, informed and well qualified for the position actually matters to voters. (Disclosure: Dana is a friend and has supported several of my projects including N.E.W. Leadership and the Oklahoma Women's Legislative Coalition.)
