With a wide array of business experience, these leaders know James Lankford is the candidate who has the work ethic, experience and the leadership skills to balance the federal budget, eliminate wasteful spending and grow the economy.
“I am grateful this accomplished group of Oklahomans is on board,” Lankford said, “Together we will continue the fight to bring common sense business solutions back to Washington.”
Lankford has worked to combat wasteful spending and duplication, authoring and passing the Taxpayers Right to Know Act. Supported and carried by Dr. Tom Coburn in the U.S. Senate, Lankford’s bill offers real solutions to wasteful federal duplication.
“We have a President who does not believe we should ever balance the budget,” Lankford said, “I am honored that these Tulsans have seen my work in the House and know that I will stand up against the President’s policies that are bankrupting our nation.”
In addition to the Tulsa area leaders, Lankford’s conservative policies and commitment to hard work have gained him the support of many groups of Oklahomans, including leaders in Oklahoma Agriculture, Energy, Transportation, and Veterans.
