Disagree! We elect them because that's all there is to pick from. A middle class citizen with values like you and I grew up with can't afford to go after these high political offices. Doesn't matter what we demand, they are going to do what they want to do regardless. They have proven that! It's the SYSTEM'S fault! They way we elect and everything..... That's the truth. I don't know what it costs to run for a state office, I just know it's probably enough to break a man if you don't win. The guy that is my state Rep is one of the biggest arse hats up there, not once had he or any of his people ever responded to any of my emails about concerns of what is going on up there. I've about convinced my wife to let me run, just need the money now. I'm in for your first $50 if your serious |

I'm in for your first $50 if your serious I am thinking about possibly running for the house in 2018 if I think the common sense pendulum has swung back to moderate by then. I need money from you guys to pull it off. I won't take corporate money |

I need money from you guys to pull it off. I won't take corporate money My fear is that where I'm at, the SE Tulsa suburbs will elect another whack job after my guy gets out. He's term limited in 2020 I belive, it would take a grass roots guy to beat him. Kind of like the deal with KW and his guy. |

Guys I'll tell you because I saw it first hand. If you run as a (D) they will help you win anyway possible. They will have a lot of suggestions but JJ didn't take any of them. They wanted him to campaign every hour he wasn't teaching or coaching and he didn't do it. He put things on social media and after the primary people started backing him with $$$. I don't thing you HAVE to have your own $$ sure it helps but it can be done without it.

I don't thing you HAVE to have your own $$ sure it helps but it can be done without it. It also helped JJ that he was the ONLY race going on at the time. They (party officials) didn't really like the way he did things, but he was effective. To be honest, I think he was a little surprise at how well he did. His opponent was a joke. Thing is, most of them are. And they keep getting elected because no one runs against the R. |

Why should it cost anyone anything if they want to run?? That's my whole problem with the deal.

Most voters make their decisions, in these smaller races, based upon name recognition. That mainly comes from those irritating signs we all hate. |
