Dana Murphy is one of two Republican candidates for the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. You will see them on your ballot in this statewide race. The winner of this primary will go on to face Democrat Jim Roth in the statewide race in November so Democrats here in Edmond will not have a vote on this race until then. So, all six of the Democrats in Edmond can sit this race out for July 29. Just kidding and don’t send me emails on that wise crack. I got the joke from a Democrat.

Murphy is our choice for this primary. She is running against a guy named Rob Johnson. He has served in the State Legislature and was recognized by Lance Cargill. You remember Lance Cargill from the headlines a few months ago over not filing tax reports. Johnson’s most notable activity to us during this campaign was that he was the one who raised some sort of stink over how Murphy signed in when she filed to run for office. I can’t remember if he was upset because the “L” in her middle name was in or out. Either way, it was a petty notion and not becoming of someone wanting to serve in the Corporation Commission.

Murphy is an Edmond gal. She is qualified for the position about 100 fold. We urge you to send her out of the primary and on to face Jim Roth in the general election in November. Roth will be a tough opponent and Republicans will need Murphy on their side if they hope to win that seat.
