Kevin Hern Announces for U.S. Senate

TULSA, OK – Congressman Kevin Hern today announced his campaign to represent Oklahoma in the United States Senate. Hern is seeking the full-term seat that is being left vacant due to the nomination of Senator Markwayne Mullin by President Trump to serve as DHS Secretary. Shortly after this announcement, Hern spoke to the Tulsa County Republican Men’s Club.
