OKLAHOMA CITY – U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe officially endorsed Mary Fallin in her race for Oklahoma governor today. He will be spending the day on the campaign trail with Fallin and attending a meet-and-greet reception with her in Marietta.
“Mary Fallin is a lifelong conservative with the experience, the vision and the backbone to move Oklahoma forward,” said Inhofe. “As a congresswoman, Mary took her Oklahoma values to Washington and stood up to President Obama and against bad policies like ‘cap and trade’ and government-run health care. I know she’ll be the kind of tough, smart governor we need and I’m proud to support her candidacy.”
Fallin said she was glad to have Inhofe’s support and praised his record in the United States Senate. “Jim has always been a strong, conservative voice who represents Oklahoma well,” she said. “I’m grateful to him for taking the time to hit the trail with me today.”
Inhofe and Fallin will be attending meetings in Lawton today prior to travelling to the Marietta meet-and-greet. They will also be campaigning in Tulsa together on Monday.

Enid News: Fallin speaks about plans
From the Enid News:
ENID — Oklahoma Republican gubernatorial candidate Mary Fallin outlined the four planks of her Fallin Plan Monday at the Enid Rotary Club.
The first plan is to get Oklahoma’s economy working by focusing on jobs and creating a better business climate. She also wants to keep taxes low in the state and as the economy further rebounds, reduce them even more.
“Small business owners have told me the costs of workers’ compensation insurance keep them from expanding and adding jobs,” Fallin said.

U.S Representative Mary Fallin is running on the Republican ticket for governor. "This is a great example of how we can target our money to get the most bang for our buck, helping prepare our children for starting their educational school system," Fallin said.
She says the state has to find money already in the budget to support education. "I'm interested in how can we spend our money the most effectively, and get the best results for the education system. As we do that, hopefully we'll be able to stretch our dollars even further, because the reality is, these are tough economic times for our state," she said.

Mary Fallin: Why I Said "No" to More Bailouts
Dear Friends,
Yesterday, House Speaker Pelosi called an emergency vote on a $26 billion plan to "bailout" state budgets. I cancelled several campaign events so I could return and cast a resounding "NO" vote.
I opposed this plan, like I opposed similar wasteful spending measures, for one simple reason: we cannot keep printing and borrowing money and calling it "stimulus." Whether it's the stimulus spending bill or Obamacare, the big-government, big-spending agenda pursued by Washington has not created jobs or helped middle-class, working Americans. What it has done instead is bury our children and grandchildren under a mountain of debt.
Now, the liberals in Washington and our opponents in Oklahoma are trying to say I don't support education or teachers because of my opposition to this bailout. That's just not true. What I don't support is a $26 billion plan to bailout states like California, which have spent themselves into deep trouble. And I certainly don't support the $9.8 billion in job-killing tax increases that were also added to this legislation. That's the old recipe for disaster that Washington Democrats are intent on pursuing even during a recession: tax and spend, and more tax and spend.
The bottom line is that we shouldn't be asked to bailout other states that have acted irresponsibly. What we should be doing is focusing on creating more and better jobs, supporting our small businesses and getting more businesses to locate in Oklahoma. When we do that we'll create more opportunities for working Oklahomans and we'll also generate the revenue stream we need to adequately fund state agencies. That's how, as governor, I'll work to support our teachers and our health care providers the right way, without wasteful government bailouts or Washington interference.
I'll also lead the way in making government more efficient and more effective, so we don't need taxpayer-funded bailouts to provide essential services. And, of course, I'll continue to stand up to Washington and make sure the agenda we pursue is one that creates jobs and prosperity, not one that designed to support the political elite.
The best way for Oklahoma to fight big-government spending policies like the one I voted against yesterday is to restore conservative leadership and fiscal responsibility to the governor's office. That's exactly what I plan to do, and why I hope I'll have your vote in November.
God bless,
Mary Fallin
