Statement from Chairman Pinnell

Boren Refusing Debates, Running from Record
For Immediate Release-10/13/10

(OKLAHOMA CITY) Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Matt Pinnell released the following statement today in response to Dan Boren’s continued refusal to debate Dr. Charles Thompson:
“Boren’s refusal to debate Dr. Charles Thompson is one more example of Oklahoma Democratic candidates’ ducking and running this election cycle. Voters in the 2nd District deserve to hear from these two party nominees. Unfortunately, Dan Boren doesn’t want to answer questions about his voting record.

“As U.S. Senator Tom Coburn noted in his endorsement of Dr. Thompson, we have in Charles a candidate with real world experience outside of professional politics, something that is so desperately needed to change the way Washington works.

“I’m calling on Dan Boren today to buck up, answer the tough questions, and give the 2nd District the debate that they rightly deserve.” ###
