Here are the Tulsa Beacon endorsements and recommendations for the November 3 presidential election.
U.S. President – Donald Trump
President Trump has done a great job. Don’t vote for the Harris-Biden ticket – it would be a disaster for America.
The Tulsa Beacon endorses President Trump.
Oklahoma Corporation Commission – Republican Todd Hiett
U.S. Senator – Sen. Jim Inhofe
Losing Inhofe would be a blow to Oklahoma’s influence in the Senate and damaging to the conservative cause. His Democrat opponent is a flaming liberal who is running a deceptive campaign.
U.S. House District 1 – Republican Kevin Hern
Hern has a conservative voting record in the House.
State Question No. 805 – No, no, no
Law enforcement and district attorneys say this will only help career criminals and Oklahoma will be less safe.
State Question No. 814 – Yes
This would divert hundreds of millions of dollars from the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust to health care funding.
Tulsa City Council District 5
Mykey Arthrell vs. Cass Fahler – No recommendation.
District 6
Connie Dodson vs. Christian Bengel – No recommendation.
District 7 – Justin Van Kirk
How did Councilor Lori Decter Wright ever get elected in a conservative district?
The Tulsa Beacon endorses Justin Van Kirk, a Republican.
Oklahoma Senate District 35 – Republican Cheryl Baber
Baber is a genuine conservative and a legal scholar.
The Tulsa Beacon endorses Cheryl Baber.
Senate District 37 – Cody Rogers
Republican Cody Rogers is needed to replace Democrat Allison Ikley-Freeman, who is married to another woman.
Senate District 39 – Sen. Dave Rader
Rader is a much better choice than his Democrat opponent.
Oklahoma House District 23 – Republican Terry O’Donnell
House District 29 – Republican Kyle Hilbert
House District 30
Republican Mark Lawson vs. Democrat Chuck Threadgill
No recommendation.
House District 66
Republican Jadine Nollan vs. Democrat Greg Laird
No recommendation.
House District 68 – Republican Lonnie Sims
House District 71 – Republican Mike Masters
Democrat Denise Brewer needs to be replaced.
House District 78 – Republican Paul Royse
House District 79 – Republican Margie Alfonso
Democrat Melissa Provenzano got a score of 10 out of 100 on the Conservative Index. How did someone so liberal win in District 79? The Tulsa Beacon endorses Margie Alfonso.
Tulsa County Commissioner – Republican Josh Turley
