Larry Wade Endorses Jeri Akins
Just read this over a The McCarville Report.
.
Elk City Daily News Publisher Larry Wade is trying for a hat trick: The veteran newspaperman was the first to endorse David Boren and Brad Henry in their campaigns for governor and now, he's out with an endorsement of Jari Askins.The McCarville Report is a good blog to get all sorts of Oklahoma political news. I don't get the Elk City Daily News, so Wades endorsement was news to me.
Wade wrote, "Having looked at the field, we believe she is clearly the person in the position to serve the people of Oklahoma as a strong governor for the next term…"
Noting that Askins "has the broadest range of experience of any of the candidates of either party," the newspaper said, "Her mind is keen. Her integrity is spotless. Her heart is good. She is the kind of leader who brings people together to deal with problems and who has proved that she works to build consensus."
