We Do Not Want Another Purge 2.0!

Posted on

What is the Purge, you ask? In 2018 while we were busy being laser focused on one race and successfully unseated the bane of our existence, Sen. Ervin Yen, a great purge of conservative house members ALSO occurred.

Did Rep. Kannaday act alone? Of course not! However, for now we will focus on some consistent patterns. Here is his current donor list and you can see how it differs greatly from our endorsed list.

Chris Kannaday Donations 

HERELL, TOMMIE SENATE  $2900
MURRAY, KURT – SENATE $1000
MYERS, RYAN CLAY HOUSE  $1000
ECHOLS, MATT – HOUSE  $2000
ROSINO, PAUL SENATE  $3300
WHALEY, MIKE HOUSE  $1000
DANIELS, JULIE -SENATE $250

PUGH, ADAM – SENATE  $3300
MCCORTNEY, GREG SENATE $3300
BOATMAN, JEFF SENATE  $1500

There are various ways to help a political candidate. Some of the ways shown above are direct donations but then there is also something called dark money. Dark money cannot be traced to it’s original donors. These groups DO NOT have to report their funding to the state like our PAC does. They ONLY have to report total money spent supporting opposing candidates. Here is an example of a recent dark money group, American Energy Action, which is allegedly funded by the wind turbine industry. We use this as an example to follow patterns. What really caught our eye is that they are also supporting three Democrats. Candidates listed here are not aware of these donations because the money goes to vendors for or against them and not directly to them. OKHPR is supporting a handful of these A rated incumbents.

Here is an example of the American Energy Action dark money being put to use that we have already received.

WE HAVE ENDORSED RYAN EAVES OPPONENT, Troy Golden. It’s a golden opportunity to break the back if the OK swamp, let all the voters know here to vote Troy Golden, the grassroots candidate!

Here is another dark money group operating in a fake office in Shawnee and so far they have attacked A+ rated Shane Jett, Michael Bergstrom, Cody Rogers, Kendal and Denise (see below for more details) and are working to elect Kern (in Chris Kidd’s seat).

Our goal is to get voters to read the fine print on all texts, ads, mailers, etc and then research for yourself. We are happy to help and appreciate that you all trust our guidance. See our VOTE BEAR voting list below and please financially help us to continue!

There is a dark money PAC is accusing Kendal Sacchieri of a crime but they are using a different Kendal in California in their screenshot. THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL! If F-rated Jessica Garvin’s supporters will stoop to such lies, we should be very concerned to send her back to the Oklahoma State Capitol. 

The Kendal Sacchieri for State Senate account has $14,000 vs. Senator Garvin’s campaign account which had more than $400,000. Less than 1% of this money is from individuals in her district. This does not include the above dark money groups that are working on behalf of her. Please share this video from Kendal where she speaks about Senator Garvin’s own voting record.
