  • Congressional Letter 12-22-20
    Oklahoma State Senate David Bullard State Capitol Building SENATOR Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73105 District 6 (405) 521-5586 [email protected] December 22, 2020 To the Honorable members of the Oklahoma Congressional Delegation, As a member of the Oklahoma Congressional Delegation you have the distinct privilege and honor to count the ballots cast by the electors of the several states. It being necessary to the preservation of our republican form of government (Article, IV Section 4), and in accordance with Article II Section I of the United States Constitution, and including the standing principles of our founding documents, we request that you voice objection to, and bring arguments and evidence against the votes being cast in states where voting laws were illegally and unconstitutionally changed by executive fiat, or by judicial edict. Those states would include Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The demands on our system of government as laid out by the founding principles include the need for bold stands against the attempted overthrow of a government by illegitimate means. The voices of millions of Oklahomans, as well as millions of Americans have been canceled out by the illegal actions of these states to unconstitutionally change the outcome of an election. We the undersigned members of the Senate, believe that you have within you the power to keep the faith of so many forgotten millions who simply wish to have their elections remain free and fair. We write this request for action not in support of a single person but an untold number of millions who desire to see our long standing tradition of freedom and power, vested in “We The People”, carried out in a single election, and that the long standing right of freedom remain intact for our children and grandchildren.

  • Oklahoma's Elected Officials
    Oklahoma’s Elected Officials The Oklahoma State Senate There are 48 members in the Oklahoma State Senate. By law, the Lieutenant Governor is president of the Senate, but the role is limited to presiding over special sessions and casting the deciding vote in case of a tie. The law also provides that the Senate will elect a President Pro Tempore, while the House of Representatives elects a Speaker of the House. State senators serve staggered four-year terms. Senators in odd-numbered districts were elected in 2012. Those in even-numbered districts will be elected in 2014. Legislators are paid $38,400 annually, along with certain necessary expenses. The President Pro Tempore of the State Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives are paid an additional $17,932 annually, and the majority floor leaders and the minority floor leaders of each House are paid an additional $12,364 per year. The Senate occupies the third, fourth and fifth floors on the east side of the rotunda in the state Capitol. Joint sessions are held in the House Chambers. The Senate Chambers are located on the fourth floor, with the visitors' gallery on the fifth floor. President Pro Tempore Senator Brian Bingman District 12 Bingman was born on December 9, 1953, in Tulsa, OK. He received a BBA in Petroleum Land Management from the University of Oklahoma in 1976. He and his wife Paula, have three children, Annie, Blake and Rebecca. He is currently employed by Uplands Resources Inc. in Tulsa as Vice-President of Land and Operations.

In July and September we mailed a candidate questionnaire to each candidate running for office in the upcoming state and federal primary election, regardless of affiliation with any party or organization. The answers provided do not denote any affiliation or endorsement by Trust Women, nor does a candidate’s choice to participate in our questionnaire signify affiliation or endorsement. The endorsements we have included along with our questionnaire responses are those given by the anti-choice organization Free the States and the pro-choice organization Planned Parenthood. Yes and No answers and any additional comments about the questions we asked candidates are included in this document. The voting record on issues of reproductive rights of each candidate already serving in public office is listed in this document as well. The voter guide is arranged according to elected office and in order numerically by district. In order to find Kansas State Senator candidates in district 16, first find the Kansas Senate section and then follow down numerical order until district 16.
