Republican Senate Candidates Speak In Tulsa
TULSA, Oklahoma -
The Republican candidates for U.S. Senate were in Tulsa Friday. They were part of a debate for the Republican club.
It's a tight race according to the polling, and it's a close race when it comes to the issues, with three candidates sounding very much alike.
In five weeks, the Republican Party will narrow down the three leading senate candidates to just one, either T.W. Shannon, James Lankford, or Randy Brogden.
They all have conservative credentials, all have been elected before, and all say the right things before a Republican crowd.
"It's about the size and scope of the government," Shannon said. "It's too large, too big, too intrusive and too expensive.
Lankford said, "Our debt and our economy is a huge threat to us."
"It's the debt. We've got to stop spending our kids future," Brogden said.
Lankford and Shannon are leading for now, according to an exclusive News on 6 poll, 33.8 percent of likely Republican voters statewide support Lankford. Shannon has 31.9 percent of the voters right now, and Brogdon is far behind with only 4.5 percent of the vote.
