Russell Ray for Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner
“As Oklahomans struggle to pay skyrocketing costs for food, shelter and healthcare, many questions surrounding the fairness of energy costs being passed on to consumers have been raised,” Ray said. “Rate- and- fuel-cost cases are complicated and require a lot of expert vetting and scrutiny. I have the background and knowledge to strike the right balance between consumer concerns and business concerns.”

Living in the Light of Memorial Day
The memory of a nation matters. It matters for its life, it’s flourishing, and it’s survival. The enemies of America know this and have worked hard to erase our memory and rewrite our story. American’s seem unsure of where we came from as a nation. But every day Memorial Day is a small chance to remember that the freedoms we enjoy were paid for by the lives of courageous men and women. But more than that, it’s a reminder that freedom can and will be lost if we forget its price.
A Grassroots Analysis of Runoff Voting Systems
By Andrew Hayes
I am a strong proponent of majority vote to win systems, and 100% against plurality voting.
First a couple of definitions:
Plurality Voting: In a race with 3 or more candidates the candidate who gets the most votes wins, even if he doesn’t have a majority of the vote. Example : George 35 Thomas 33 John 31. In plurality voting, George would be declared the winner.
Majority Voting: A candidate must receive 50%+1 of the votes in order to win. So the above example would require some sort of runoff system between George and Thomas.
At one time Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) and Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) were synonymous, But what Alaska did is a completely different thing than anything I ever imagined IRV turning into. Therefore I refer to the Alaska system as RCV and the simple Instant runoff voting as the same, or IRV . But let’s begin first with some history.

The People’s Voice Was Heard at the OKGOP State Convention
Congratulations to Charity Linch, Larry Murray, Electors and RNC delegates. In reflecting on the convention, the main takeaway is the convention assembly wants our party to be one of bold action and not cheerleaders for anyone with an “R” behind their name.
Election Tallies from OKGOP State Convention
One of my passions is to have accurate elections at every level of our party. Because of that, I kept a running tally of each balloted vote we took at the OKGOP State Convention, based on what the county chairmen announced at the microphone.

It was wonderful to have the opportunity to meet and network with fellow Republicans, work together to advance the goals of We the People, and continue to strengthen our Party!
Final Info for OKGOP State Convention
On Friday, hundreds of Republicans from across Oklahoma will gather in Oklahoma City to participate in the OKGOP State Convention.
Why I am voting for Charity Linch for RNC Committee Woman
Let’s elect a woman who has proven she supports our values and wants to grow grassroots membership from the precinct up; a leader who supports our bottom-up structure.
Why I support Larry Murray for National Committeeman
Larry is dedicated to advancing Republican principles and leaving a freer country for our children. He has transformed the Washington County Republican Party and I know that his leadership will do the same on the National Committee.
Pam Pollard, Proxy Voting, and the Importance of Removing Legislators
During the summer of 2022, during credentialing, we started having funny-looking documents that were copies of proxies.
All these strange proxies were from elected officials all over the state, carried by one person, Pam Pollard. Another rule of the proxies was that no one could carry more than seven proxies per person. Ms. Pollard was bringing and carrying multiple proxies from legislators across the state.
Open Letter to Chairman Dahm
Dear Chairman Dahm,
Thank you for your reply to my questions concerning the overpriced registration fee for
the State Convention in May. We do understand that there are costs to conduct the Convention, but we can also do math. If only 1200 attend, similar to last year’s convention, the State GOP would make over $115,000 in registration fees. Since it is a presidential election year, attendance will certainly be higher. That should mean you can charge less, not more.
