Candidate filing for Oklahoma elections began yesterday, and both Andrew Rice and Jim Inhofe filed for U.S. Senate. Immediately after filing, Andrew talked about his campaign, making one central message clear: Though his name is the one on the ballot, this campaign is not about him. It’s about the people of Oklahoma – and across the country – who want a change in the status quo, who want their voices to be heard, and who want a Senator who looks out for their interests.
Videos - both from our filing and from Inhofe's campaign - below the fold...
NewsOK.com posted this video about Andrew filing yesterday:
By contrast, Inhofe went on TV yesterday with a 60-second ad touting his "stubbornness":
But being stubborn can also be bad, if it means being "tone deaf," as Andrew said, to the people you are sent to represent. And on issue after issue, Jim Inhofe has proven that he is out of touch with the needs of his constituents.
Our campaign sent out an email on filing day about the importance of volunteering. Grassroots support is the lifeblood of this campaign, and without the help of the more than 1,300 Team Rice volunteers working for us, there would be no way for us to make up the monetary advantage Sen. Inhofe enjoys thanks to the support of Washington special interests.
Can you volunteer for Team Rice? Or send a few dollars to counteract the Inhofe war chest? There’s a big payoff for your time and donations coming in November: A Senator from Oklahoma who will actually listen to you.
