Oklahoma Labor Commissioner Mark Costello Endorses Howard Houchen for State Senate


OK LABOR COMMISSIONER MARK COSTELLO ENDORSES HOUCHEN FOR OKLAHOMA SENATE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 29, 2012

 ”When I ran for Labor Commissioner in 2010, I campaigned on my commitment to bring sound business practices and constitutional principles to State Government.  Howard Houchen shares these values and will be an invaluable asset to southeastern Oklahoma. He is unabashed in his love for his home region, and unashamed to stand strong for what is right for Oklahoma in general and right for SE Oklahoma in particular. I am proud to offer my endorsement of Howard Houchen as the right choice for State Senate, District 5,”  Labor Commissioner Mark Costello stated.

 Houchen will be facing Jerry Ellis (D-Valliant) on the November general election ballot. This race also has an unusual twist: Democrat incumbent Ellis, due to term limits, is only eligible to serve two years of the upcoming four year term. He will be forced to vacate the seat midway through the term if he is re-elected.

 Houchen commented,  “Commissioner Costello has a proven record of increasing government efficiency and accountability while controlling, and even decreasing, the costs to the hardworking taxpayers of Oklahoma. I share that vision and appreciate his leadership. I look forward to ensuring that the interests of the good folks in SE Oklahoma are heard loud and clear in Oklahoma City as we all work to achieve a more economically free and prosperous tomorrow.”

Houchen is a graduate of University of Oklahoma with a degree in Political Science, and boasts an MA in National Security Studies from the American Military University. With extensive international and small business expertise, he is extensively published in multiple conservative publications. He proudly raises his two sons alongside his wife Jeannie in the S.E. Oklahoma community of Hugo. He and his family are avid hunters and sportsmen, treasuring the bountiful natural resources that are plentiful in our beautiful state and rural communities.

Oklahoma R3s share Liberty Pep Rally – May 11th at Remington Park

Come join us as we rally for liberty with Tom Woods, Jordan Page, and Jason Rink! Let’s celebrate our growth and success in 2012, and get pumped about taking this movement to the Oklahoma GOP State Convention!

The rally will kick off at 7pm at the Remington Park Casino. Enter at the casino, and go straight back to the left of the escalators to the banquet hall. This event is FREE and open to the public! All ages welcome. There will be a cash bar available.
Tom Woods is the NY Times bestselling author of “Nullification,” “Meltdown,” and “Rollback.” He is a senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, and is frequently interviewed by the likes of Judge Andrew Napolitano, Glenn Beck, and Peter Schiff. Woods is one of the foremost voices for liberty in America today.

Jordan Page is a well-known singer/songwriter in the liberty movement, and has opened for Ron Paul on multiple occasions.

Sandra Crosnoe says:  ”If you do not already know him: Jordan Page is the muse of the movement — in biblical times the praise team went ahead of the battle. Jordan understands this and is at the tip of the sphere! He is a gifted musician also. I shall never forget when we first met and I watched him set the beat for each song. Prepare to be inspired and motivated and blessed on every level of your being.”
