Political newcomer Paul Bondar is running to unseat incumbent Congressman Tom Cole in the Republican primary for Oklahoma’s Fourth Congressional District this June.
Bondar’s campaign purchased ad time on Oklahoma television stations. This week, the ads began airing. Oklahoma Congressman Tom Cole becomes chair of House Appropriations Committee
“Paul Bondar is a successful businessman, devout Christian, and Trump Republican,” a narrator proclaims in Bondar’s ad. “Tom Cole voted with Democrats for billions in new deficit spending. Paul Bondar opposes new federal spending.”

Pretty interesting GOP primary race.
For 2024, as of the last FEC report:
Receipts:
Cole: $1,946,034.42 Bondar: $30,895.24
Cash-on-hand:
Cole: $1,751,866.60 Bondar: $0.00
It's amazing that the challenger can afford air time, even at 3 AM on some local access channel that is watched by about 6 people. Cole's very likely going to get 60-70% in the primary, as usual.
Tom Cole election results and ideology scores
In his younger days, Cole was fairly conservative or at least was good at faking it. Since reaching Social Security age many years ago and -- importantly -- being anointed as part of the House GOP leadership (check your conservatism at the door, please) Cole has been RINO scum and will always be RINO scum from now until he drops dead.
I live in OK...and totally agree with your post.
Yup. I’ve been surprised to see OK go Rino
Lankford is full blood rino & markwayne has been a disappointment
Tom Cole is all about placating rinos and libtards he wouldn’t stand up against the deep state if his life depended on it
Ditto that!!
