Governor: Vote Mary Fallin. In a race with two very strong candidates, Fallin gets the nod over Jari Askins. Fallin has a better vision and a sense of urgency.

Evangelical Conservative Leader David Barton Endorses Mary

OKLAHOMA CITY - David Barton, Christian minister and Republican activist named by Time magazine as one of "25 most influential Evangelicals" today endorsed Mary Fallin in her campaign for governor.

In a statement, Barton cited Fallin's commitment to liberty and Constitutional principles.

"When our Founding Fathers drafted the Constitution, they did far more than lay out a series of legal rights for American citizens," said Barton.

"They created a nation that, for the first time in history, was held together not by force but by a shared commitment to freedom, individual liberty and a belief that God himself has bestowed rights to each and every person on Earth. Mary has spent 20 years in office working to preserve those rights and to expand freedom in Oklahoma and everywhere. I believe she will be a great governor, and I am happy to offer my support and endorsement in her campaign."

Fallin said she was thrilled with the endorsement and called Barton "an important voice in the conservative movement and a great lover of America and freedom."

AZ Governor Jan Brewer Endorses Mary for OK Governor!

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has announced her support and endorsement of Mary Fallin's bid for Oklahoma governor.

In the wake of the Obama administration’s announcement that it will challenge Arizona’s new immigration law in federal courts, Brewer said “At a time when many have been willing to attack the common sense, rule-of-law reforms we've put into place, Mary has stood with the people of Arizona and defended our right to enforce our laws and protect our citizens.”

Brewer went on to say “I'm pleased to announce my support of Mary Fallin in her campaign to lead Oklahoma, and I look forward to seeing another strong conservative governor in office."


Fallin said she supported Arizona’s tough stance on illegal immigration and applauded Gov. Brewer’s handling of the issue.

“Governor Brewer and the people of Arizona are responding to the Obama Administration’s refusal to protect our borders and enforce our laws,” said Fallin. “They’ve adopted a simple, common sense policy: if you live in Arizona, you have to live there legally. I support that policy, and I think the people of Oklahoma do as well.”
