I’ve followed Lankford from the first time he was elected as a US Rep from OK. He ran a campaign centered on using the Internet with a low budget and beat a sitting Dem. He’s a good guy and I hope he does as well as Senator. I’m looking forward to seeing FNS.
I am pretty sure Langford’s first run was for GOP Mary Fallin’s vacated seat as she ran(and won)OK governor the first time. She just won re-election.
I’ve live in James Langford’s congressional district. The last Dem OK congressional district 5 elected was in 1974.
These days a D could not get elected to dog catcher in OK outside of a handful of state house minority districts around Tulsa, OKC and Lawton.
You are right, James is pretty solid conservative. Maybe as far right as anyone incoming the next congress.
