My name is Craig Stump, and I am running for Oklahoma State Senate. It is my belief that our governments are out of control. I have no desire to rub shoulders with the establishment crowd and make more promises. We need statesmen in our government to fight for the liberties that are slowly being taken from us. I am running to expose the backroom dealings, and to be a genuine conservative voice that harkens back not only to our founding documents, but ultimately to the Word of God. Our Declaration of Independence says that governments should exist to “secure liberties” among such are “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” For years the Oklahoma legislature has acted as though its reason for existence is to pick winners and losers, and submit unconditionally to whatever the federal government says. I’m running to defend your God-given liberties, and to get government back into its proper and limited role.
