On Thursday November 10th, the Stephens County Republican Party will stage a mock debate featuring local Republicans portraying eight GOP presidential candidates. Those eight brave souls have volunteered to research their candidate’s position on the issues and formulate answers as the candidate would. “This is not just for entertainment value,” Steve Fair, the Stephens County GOP Chairman said. “It is to educate local Republicans on those running.”
The ‘candidates’ seem to be up for the task. “I’m going to be Governor Rick Perry,” Wayne Watts says. “I plan to wear my cowboy boots and be as much of a Texan as a native Okie can be,” Wayne said. Congressman Ron Paul will be portrayed by Gil Jackson, a long time GOP volunteer. “I’ve got this,” Jackson says. “This will be fun and I can’t wait.”
The candidates will be asked probing questions by a three person panel who are also portraying members of the national media. “I would encourage anyone interested to join us, regardless of Party affiliation,” Fair says.
The debate will be held at the Red River Technology Center in Duncan in the Seminar Room beginning at 7:00pm. There is no admission charge and the public is invited.
If you have questions, contact Fair at 580.252.6284 or email him at okgop@aol.com
