WASHINGTON — Two former governors and the state’s highest-ranking Democratic official are part of the Oklahoma campaign team announced Friday by presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Clinton, a former secretary of state and U.S. senator, easily won the Oklahoma Democratic primary when she ran for president in 2008, capturing about 55 percent of the vote.

The Oklahoma presidential primaries for 2016 are scheduled for March 1.
