Progressive Tom Guild Came In First In His Primary - In Oklahoma!

Blue America's True Blue Progressive candidate in OKLAHOMA took the majority of votes in his Primary. It's time to get serious and help get him elected.


Liberals don't always expect much from Republican bastions like Oklahoma. But Blue America endorsed an across-the-board progressive, Tom Guild, to run for the congressional seat based in Oklahoma City and thanks in part, to our members generosity, Tom came out on top in a tough 3-way primary against a very conservative state Senator who is the polar opposite of a progressive. Tom walked away with 42.1% of the vote while that state senator drew 30.9% and a third candidate took 27%. Oklahoma law requires a runoff, which has been set for August 26.

That 27 percent will probably end up voting for the winner no matter which one.

talked to seems was planning or just getting started in OKC. Personally, I think it's because of the amazing success of the Thunder...yes, I'm a big fan. I-35 and I-40 are literally the crossroads of America and they cross in the OKC Metro.
