Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee Co-Founder Richard Engle Endorses Patrice Douglas for Congress

EDMOND, OK – Oklahoma Conservative leader Richard Engle endorsed Conservative Republican Patrice Douglas for the Aug. 26 Runoff Election. Richard Engle is President of BellWest America, co-founder of the Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee and Past President of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies.

“I have determined that Patrice Douglas is the best choice for Congress in the 5th District,” Richard Engle said. “And, after careful examination I have observed that Commissioner Douglas is best suited to this office because she has a well-rounded level of experience accompanied by a well-developed conservative ideology on the issues. The 5th District needs a conservative Congress member who is able to apply our ideals to the issues of greatest import to this District, that person is Patrice Douglas.”

“We simply must have someone who can take the lead in opposing federal overreach on environmental issues, who will advance issues vital to the energy industry that our economy depends on, who can lead on the repeal of Dodd/Frank as well as Obamacare, and can effectively advocate on all the issues vital to the creation and continuation of small business.”

“I will also say that while it is lawful for someone who is not a resident of a District to run, I do not believe it is most expedient for us. Patrice Douglas lives in the District, was Mayor of a large city in the District and has shown an unparalleled commitment to the people of this District.”

Republican run-off will occur Tuesday, August 26, 2014.
