Randy Brogdon Issues Endorsement of Charles Thompson for U.S. Congress OK-D2


(Owasso, OK) 14 Oct. 2010 – Oklahoma State Senator, and former Oklahoma Gubernatorial candidate, Randy Brogdon has endorsed Charles Thompson over Dan Boren in the upcoming general election on November 2nd to represent the citizens of Eastern Oklahoma’s 2nd. U.S. Congressional District.


Mr. Brogdon, who ran a text-book grassroots campaign in his bid for the Republican nomination in the Oklahoma Governor’s race stated: “I have had the opportunity to speak with and to get to know Charles during this campaign, I truly feel that Charles Thompson will represent the conservative values and the conservative nature of the citizens of Eastern Oklahoma far better than his opponent. Thompson’s opponent has an established record of voting for government expansion and increasing federal spending that Charles will stand firmly against”.


Brogdon, known nationally as “…a champion for state’s Rights” and for his efforts and desire to restore constitutional adherence to governance also remarked: “I believe that Charles Thompson will also work to curtail and even repeal federal intrusions into functions that are supposed to be the purview of the state. He knows that the 9th and 10th Amendments are just as important as the rest of the Bill of Rights…and they MEAN what they SAY”.


Mr. Brogdon went on to describe the OK-D2 race as: “Every U.S. Congressional seat is important…very important…and those we choose to represent us should earn our vote, not expect it. Charles Thompson is working to earn your vote while his opponent refuses open public forums and open debate with Charles. I know who I would prefer in this instance, and it’s not the career-politician that expects your vote…I prefer Charles Thompson.”


Thompson said that he was “honored to receive Senator Brogdon’s endorsement. He is someone who supports a return to our founding principles regardless of whether it is his campaign, his district, or technically his fight. I am extremely grateful for his support of my campaign.”


The general election will be held on November 2, 2010 with voting registration closing on October 8. Absentee ballot application deadline is Oct. 27 and early voting is Oct. 29, 30, and Nov. 1.

Senator Tom Coburn Endorses Dr. Charles Thompson

(Muskogee, OK) October 3rd, 2010---Senator Tom Coburn announced today his endorsement of Dr. Charles Thompson in Oklahoma’s 2nd District Congressional race. The senator said of Dr. Thompson that "As a proud military veteran with years of dedicated service to our country, a small business owner, and a veterinarian, he possesses valuable, real world experience outside of professional politics so desperately needed to change the way Washington works.”

The 2nd Congressional seat was held by Coburn from 1994 until he fulfilled his promise of self-imposed term limits in 2000. He earned high approval ratings both then as a representative and now as a senator from the 2nd District.

Dr. Thompson said he was honored by the announcement. “Senator Coburn's record speaks for itself. He is clearly one of the most constitutionally conservative Senators in the Congress today. I am grateful for his endorsement which clearly shows my conservatism and the fact that the incumbent democrat is vulnerable. I look forward to being Senator Coburn's counterpart in the House of Representatives and serving the people of the 2nd District.”

Senator Coburn also faces a general election battle, but already looks forward to the session starting in January. “Charles recognizes the serious problems we face as a nation and he will be an ally in the House of Representatives when it comes to upholding the Constitution, fighting wasteful spending, and holding career politicians accountable to the American people. His conservative values will best represent us in Congress… Please join me in voting for Dr. Charles Thompson for Congress on Election Day.”

2nd District voters will be able to cast their votes both for Senator Coburn and Dr. Thompson on November 2nd. They must be registered by October 8th in order to vote.
