State Senator Owen Laughlin and Representatives Gus Blackwell and Jeff Hickman today endorsed Ellis County native Dana Murphy for Corporation Commission.

"There's an old saying that you can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl," said Laughlin, the Republican Floor Leader in the Senate. "That statement applies to our friend and fellow western Oklahoman, Dana Murphy."

Murphy's deep western Oklahoma roots make her the only candidate for Corporation Commission who has a rural perspective.

"We know she'll look out for the interests of all Oklahomans," said Hickman, chairman of the Rural Caucus in the House of Representatives who also farms in northwest Oklahoma.  "We also know she'll be a watchdog for the special needs of farmers and ranchers across our state."

Murphy has 20 years of experience in the oil patch and six years as a law judge at the Corporation Commission giving her more experience on issues which come before the Commission than her opponent.

"He's just a career bureaucrat, someone we don't need," said Blackwell, who serves as the Speaker Pro Tempore, the second highest position in the House of Representatives.  "We need Dana; someone with real world experience who can make the critical decisions based on what's important to all Oklahomans, not just a special few."

"Dana is one of us," Laughlin said. "We know her, trust her and respect her.  Dana will do the right thing for all Oklahomans. I join Representative Blackwell and Representative Hickman in encouraging everyone to vote for Dana on November 4th."

(Oklahoma City) Who remembers April 22, 1970, when Earth Day came into existence and brought together an alignment of Americans incredibly rare today - Republicans and Democrats, rich and poor, city slickers and farmers, tycoons and labor leaders – all towards a common goal of preserving our planet?

However, long before Earth Day began, many Oklahomans including my grandparents and my parents were already “green” even though behind the scenes of any spotlight on the environment.    My grandmothers from northwestern Oklahoma reused and recycled many ordinary things – reusing wax paper from cereal boxes, making the “best” pot and pan scrubbers from produce bags and creating compost piles from food scraps and peelings was the norm.
