The National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) warned NRA members in Oklahoma about the anti-gun positions of gubernatorial candidate Joy Hofmeister. “Joy Hofmeister received an F rating from the NRA because she supports policies that would delay and deny law-abiding Oklahomans of their right to keep and bear arms,” said Travis Couture-Lovelady, NRA Oklahoma state director.

11/5/2016: “The felony charges filed Thursday against State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister stunned many Oklahomans. Hofmeister faces two felony counts on her own: one for knowingly accepting campaign contributions that exceeded the maximum amounts set by law for a candidate, and the other for accepting contributions from a corporation, which is illegal. The company in question was the American Fidelity Assurance Co., which was not charged with any wrongdoing. Although Hofmeister and her campaign did not directly receive the donations, prosecutors allege she illegally coordinated with a newly formed nonprofit advocacy group, Oklahomans for Public School Excellence, to help her candidacy.”
