Why Vote For Jennettie Marshall

Editor’s Note: Jared Buswell is active statewide on education issues independent of the traditional Oklahoma education industrial complex. He is active as a Tulsa Republican. With his permission, we run his recent newsletter explaining his support for the Democrat Candidate, Oklahoma Education Superintendent.

Echols: Coffey ‘Knows Nothing’

OKLAHOMA CITY – Jon Echols spent Thursday night’s attorney general debate pressing one argument against Democrat Nick Coffey: A career federal prosecutor isn’t ready to run an office that works mostly in state law.

“If you check OSCN, he has been in four total state law cases. He knows nothing about the state system, just nothing,” the Republican nominee said. “He was a line-level prosecutor. He was not a manager.”
