In Support of Ryan Walters on SB1122 — two sections in need of a Veto by the Governor
By Charity Linch – Republican National Committeewoman of Oklahoma
In the last week, a concerning piece of legislation has landed on the desk of Governor Stitt, threatening to undermine the very principles of transparency and accountability that form the foundation of our Republic. SB1122, if signed into law, would restrict the Superintendent and the State Department of Education from utilizing state funds for what Democrats in the Legislature deem as “public relations” and “promotional” purposes.

Navigating Republican Party Primaries With a Free Market Mindset
By Andrew Hayes
One thing that should unite all conservatives is that we are all advocates and supporters of the free market. For real conservatives, it ia a given that there is nothing that the state can do better than the free market, war being the single exception – given that war is nothing more than death and destruction on a grand scale. While there may be some difficulties, it is a given that the DMV would operate much more smoothly if it was done by Wal-Mart. In either case, the point is that we all appreciate the way the market works and should strive for free market solutions at every turn.

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.
