State Rep. Mike Turner, who has put $625,000 of his own money into his Oklahoma congressional race, is being backed by a political action committee that has received $135,000 from other Turners.
The Democracy Values Fund — a recently-established super PAC — received $125,000 from a trust held by Michele G. Turner and $10,000 from Jack E. Turner, of southwest Oklahoma City, an executive with Beckham Operating, according to a report filed with the Federal Election Commission.
An attorney for the PAC said Thursday he did not know what relation Michele Turner had, if any, to the candidate.
Democracy Values Fund reported Thursday that it has spent $121,000 — mostly for advertising — on behalf of Turner’s campaign.
