13 Days Left
Wow, the past four months have really been exciting. I have knocked over 4,000 doors and trying to get to another 1,000 before Election Day!! I have truly enjoyed meeting so many people and listening to the concerns of the voters in Senate District 35. The days have been long and hot, but I have been blessed with so many Good Samaritans throughout the district who have offered me cold water as I walked the neighborhoods; a very special Thank You to all of you.
I have had the opportunity to speak at several events and to several groups. I am proud to have earned the endorsements of the Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee, the Oklahoma State Medical Association, the Tulsa Firefighters Local 176, as well as individual endorsements from Tulsa Councilman Bill Christiansen, State Representative Sue Tibbs, and Republican Majority Floor Leader Gregg Piatt, just to name a few.
I have given a couple of newspaper interviews as well. I must correct the Oklahoman and their recent article about the 5 candidates. The accurately reported that I wanted to combine state agencies and save “The People’s Money”. But what they got wrong was what I would do with the savings. I will certainly fight to get it back to the hard working Oklahoma citizens who earned it, but the paper misquoted me saying I wanted to spend more on education. The closest thing I can figure is that I did state that Infrastructure, Education, and Public Safety were my top priorities. However, when it comes to education, I strongly oppose the idea that any more money is needed. Our legislators have failed education by simply trying to throw money at the problem rather than rolling up their sleeves and working to fix the problem.
I look forward to hearing from you if you have any questions or concerns. Please call my cell phone, 760-4950, if you would like to discuss an issue or just want to share your views, or if you would like a yard sign.
Respectfully,
Jeff Applekamp
