OKLAHOMA CITY (February 5, 2009)– Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Gary Jones today officially announced his intention to run for re-election as the leader of the state party. "It has been an honor to serve as chairman of our great party," said Jones.
"We've accomplished a lot, but we have more to do and that's why I am seeking re-election to finish the job."
Dubbed the "hardest working man in Oklahoma politics" by local newspaper editor Frosty Troy, Jones has successfully steered the Oklahoma Republican Party to unprecedented gains in the state, despite some of the toughest national political environments for Republicans in recent memory.
In 2008, Oklahoma was the only state in the nation where every county went red for the McCain-Palin presidential ticket, helping Oklahoma down ballot candidates tremendously. McCain's 65.4% share of the vote in Oklahoma was the highest in the nation.
U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, M.D. applauded the announcement by Jones. "Chairman Jones has put together a good team at the Oklahoma Republican Party that is proven and ready to lead us in the critical 2010 elections. Our statewide wins in 2008 helped take the majority in the Oklahoma Senate for the first time in state history, and we will need this type of leadership going into the 2010 election cycle. I wholeheartedly support Chairman Jones in his re-election," Coburn said.
If Senator Coburn seeks re-election in 2010, his U.S. Senate race will be the top of the ticket in Oklahoma.
Jones added: "We will not rest on our laurels. As chairman, I will continue to launch new ideas and initiatives that will keep Oklahoma a shining star among state party organizations." In the coming weeks, Jones plans to release a detailed Oklahoma Republican Party plan of action for the 2010 election cycle.
