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
